Slow Bus Movin` (howard Beach Party) 2:35 Lyrics

(K.Jones/A.Moore/W.Kibbee/Fish)

 

 "Born in the 1940's, my parents couldn't vote,

 X and King were on a march for power true,

 Black power that is

 Panther's and their attitudes,

 sport fresh new business suits, yeh yeh.

 Stricken with determination to rise above a slave,

 the mayo men used firehoses

 to spray the monkeys back in their cages."

 Round and around and around they go

 The bus is goin mighty slow

 Brothers in the back seat

 Caucs in the front

 People gettin' hostile when I kill someone

 "Well the overlords thought it would be a good idea

 to mix the Black with the White but if you're a fly in

 the buttermilk they'll chase you all through the night.

 So go ahead and burn your cross and rape our women in the night,

 'cause the day will come when your cream coated daughter is gonna be my
wife."
