Straight At Yer Head

歌詞

I want to taste a new dessert To see how other people work To see them irrigate the dirt With water from a bank. I took my tape and tape recorder And made my way up to the border Where I received a legal order From a man who drove a tank. Wanted to see another country But the country wouldn't have me They said they have a new policy To protect their economy. I said I want to see your city They said they couldn't entertain me They said they simply had too many And If I tried they would detain me. He said, "You haven't any place here Why you show your face here? I'll keep you at the base here Don't move 'til you're told." He returned with the command "Go back to your land. The only way to enter is with gold." What you get is what you see not what they say (x5) A promise in a second. The truth will take a day To see the truth in every step along the way Is like a child that learns to judge within his play I want to turn my water to wine, but I'm not divine So I must feel work to do it. I want to turn their sorrow to salt, the weak to the strong So we've got to think our way through it. Closing in from all quarters. Pressure to achieve is like I'm forced to grow All your sons and your daughters. They have to fight to keep the little that they know I never wanted to be free until I knew I was in prison I didn't know I was a key until I unlocked the pain in living' I want to see the vegetation To inspire my vocation To see the plans of every nation. Hear the words from their hearts. Won't rest 'til the folks sing tunes from the heart string sounds from the true springs of our histories Confessed let them come through lives that evade you born to renew and explain our mysteries Your eyes won't lie when they're allowed to see Your sun, your skies see that you're allowed to be Your reason why so we're wise to take heed Your time, your earth, so plant your seeds (x3) Plant your seeds (Repeat)
