The Happy Album (Album)
Who cares about your nation
Your bloody flag is hung to dry
You call it human nature
But were we really born to fight
Who needs the separation
The body count becomes too high
We're running out of patience
Watch out the eagle's gonna fly
Gonna whip them down
Who wants to face this situation?
I have to do it every day
I see no signs of changes
Maybe the pressure's here to stay
Who cares if there's no integration
Suspicion rules everyones lives
If I am not of your persuasion
I'm never welcome in your tribe
Gonna whip them down
You wear the butcher's apron
Too much colour makes you blind
I don't believe in human nature
Watch out the eagle's gonna fly
Gonna whip them down
Etty in a room a cry
Mama say she must wipe her eye
Papa say he no fi foolish
Like she never been to school at all
It is no wonder
It's a perfect pander
While they were dancing in that barroom last night
Johnson in a room a fret
Uncles say he must hold up him head
Aunty say he no fi foolish like him no time for him wedding day
It is no wonder, it's a perfect pander
While they were dancing in that bar room last night
They were sweet and dandy
One more time for the wedding cake
Plenty bottle of cola wine
All the people them a dress up in a white
Fi go eat off Johnson's wedding cake
It is no wonder
It's a perfect pander
While they were dancing in that bar room last night
They were sweet and dandy
I'm like a fish outta water
I don't like it
I don't like it too
A lamb to the slaughter
I can't fight it
I can't fight it too
I got chips on me shoulders
I can't hide it
I can't hide it too
And then me eyes start to smoulder
I need some water
Pour water on you
Neurotica, neurotica
I got a new kind of powder
Full of badness
Full of madness too
When it gets in me structure
I get excited
I get excited too
But when I bust out of Eenya
Dem nah go catch me
Dem nah go catch me too
I'm gonna slip through their fingers
I'm gonna dazzle them
I'm gonna dazzle them too
Whoi yoi yoi
Whoi yoi yoi
Neurotica, neurotica
I'm cool pon your corner
Nah badder watch me
Nah badder watch me too
Got chips pon me shoulders
I can't hide it
I can't hide it too
I got a new kind of powder
Full of badness
Full of madness too
And when it gets in me structure
I get excited
I get excited too
Neurotica, neurotica
Once upon a time a king had a dream
Then three L.A. cops made another king scream
The Crips and the Boods said enough is enough
Where's the peace and love when the going gets tough
California screaming
While America's dreaming
California screaming
While America's screaming california screaming
While America's screaming
The haves have it all, the have nots have not
Did you hear about the teen queen stopped by a shot
Lying on the sidewalk dressed up in blood
A quiet L.A. evening in the summer of love
California screaming
While America's dreaming
California screaming
While America's screaming california screaming
While America's screaming
The boy in the hood says he's only thirteen
Chained up in gold but he thinks that he's free
The price of his future is measured in grammes
Weighing him down in the city of the damned
California screaming
While America's dreaming
California screaming
While America's screaming california screaming
While America's screaming
I have been so blind to all the heartache and crying
All alone in my room
I never knew that you could be so cruel
'tho your cheatings gonna be your doom
I want justice
If I had tomorrow I would beg steal and borrow
Enough to make you the fool
I never knew that you could be so cruel
'tho your cheatings gonna be your doom
I want justice
I've climbed over fences
I've seen through all your defences
It's so senseless
If you want I'll send you flowers
I will mark out all of the hours
It's my business
Won't you tell me
What should I do now
I gave in to all of your wishes
But you want to swim with the fishes
Don't want no kisses
fool around with good intentions
Make the world your own invention
It's so senseless
Won't you tell me
What should I do now
A kiss us just a kiss
There's nothing left to miss
We watch the world go by
Just remember this
There's got to be a twist
Someone's got to cry
It was not copasetic, it was not right
Those weapons that were formed for thee
None of them shall prosper
It is the time when man shall be free
Seven seals hit disaster
It was a state of emergency
Government call in the military
They say all bad man shall fall
With the method operation withdrawal
It was not copasetic, it was not right
Young men of my noble race
Must you cause such a big disgrace
Free up your soldiers outta the way
Let us all live in peace again
It was not copasetic
Mummy's little monsters ruled the world from camden town to bethnal green
Two into one hand on the gun sharing the same dream for her boys
She'd lay down and die to hide the devil in you
Unconditional love cracked the egg, away her small birds flew
Mother knows best you know she loves you
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world or were you misconceived
If you dry the lake at victoria park tell me what would you see
Stronger than steel the ties that bind the family's apron strings
Born to be violent on this earth you made the sixties swing
Mother knows best you know she loves you
When I wake up in the night
I can't open my eyes
I reach down to the floor
I laugh until I cry
It's just the way it is
I start to realise
Why can't I be sure of things
I feel inside
Beware of tigers and bad dogs
Making monkeys of you
I'm walking barefoot on cut glass
Now that all my ladders have gone
I don't really have the heart
To run a million miles
To where my ladders start
Everyone hurts sometimes
Beware of tigers and bad dogs
Making monkeys of you
Beware of tigers and bad dogs
Making monkeys of you
