[00:20.35]They can make it known, they can make it hard
[00:22.93]Down in the limelight, yeah
[00:28.02]Or they can make it known, get you stoned
[00:30.90]Down in the streets
[00:33.53]Well, you say your woman got a pristine smile
[00:37.05]The kind I like but I never saw her (yeah, yeah)
[00:42.65]Like why my Daddy used to sit me down
[00:44.60]And smack me 'round, guess I'll never know (watch it)
[00:48.58]Ooh la, la, ooh, la, la, ooh, la, la-a ooh
[00:53.01]What have I done to my son?
[00:55.77]Downed by the system
[00:57.97]I swiped a credit card
[01:00.45]I saw the boys but they didn't even look hard
[01:04.32]And somebody out there screams, "He's just a retard"
[01:07.78]I saw the boys but they didn't even look hard
[01:13.37]Ah-ooh la la, ooh la la, ooo-ooh
[01:17.48]
[01:20.05]Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend?
[01:23.84]Now he got muscles, he got muscles, he got
[01:27.86]I wanna see his dumb face, so
[01:31.43]Take pictures, take pictures when
[01:35.13]Blood runs down on the boulevard
[01:38.76]
[01:40.82]She said, "Oh-oh, Why would I want something?
[01:46.40]Why would I need someone? But I'm
[01:50.28]Willing to change, I'm willing to change
[01:54.29]Oh-oh, why would I want something?
[01:58.81]Why would I need someone? But I'm
[02:02.57]Willing to change, I'm willing to change"
[02:07.32]Oh!
[02:09.23]
[02:10.49]I walk around
[02:14.10]I watch the children play down on Broadway
[02:18.24]But sometimes I think
[02:21.23]I can't even take that anymore
[02:23.88]When I'm alone I talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices
[02:27.70]If there's no voices I just talk to myself
[02:32.34]I just talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices
[02:35.36]If there's no voices I just talk to myself
[02:39.07]But I don't go talk about Jesus anymore
[02:44.99]And the strung out ballerinas say, "Hey!
[02:47.75]Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend, who’s your?
[02:51.21]He give you head, he give you top hat"
[02:53.04]In the branches I grab before heading in
[02:55.83]The matches, the cocaine clothespin
[02:57.52]Can I just hear one good rock 'n roll song
[03:00.09]On the radio before
[03:01.97]The blood runs down on the boulevard?
[03:06.33]
[03:08.32]Oh-oh, why would I want something?
[03:13.27]Why would I need someone? But I'm
[03:16.76]Willing to change, I'm willing to change
[03:21.03]Oh-oh, why should I want someone?
[03:25.77]How can I love someone if I'm not
[03:29.28]Willing to change? I'm willing to change
[03:35.91]
[03:42.99]Stop, yeah, stop making love, dear
[03:49.59]I guess I'll die here
[03:52.94]Waitin' for the light, oh yeah
[03:57.22]A new day's comin', children
[04:01.08]So don't wake up
[04:04.53]I guess I'll stay up, ba-da-da-da
[04:08.56]All the night, oh yeah, all night
[04:14.76]And waitin' like never before
[04:17.81]You know it!
[04:19.62]
[04:30.18]Ooh la, la, la-a ooh;
[04:35.04]la, la, la; la, la, la, la
[04:41.03]Ooo-ooh la-a; Ah, la, la, la
