Fishbone - Slow Bus Movin' lyrics

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, yeh !

Stricken with determination to rise above a slave,

The mayo men used firehoses

To spray the monkeys back in their cages

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 wanna 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 tables are turned when your cream coated daughter is gonna be my

Wife."

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 wanna kill someone
