    Inner City Blues- Marvin Gaye

    Oh man, for sure.  A song that has been relevant for 54 years!


    Dah, dah, dah
    Dah, dah, dah
    Rockets, moon shots
    Spend it on the have nots
    Money, we make it
    Fore we see it you take it
    Oh, make me want to holler
    The way they do my life (yeah)
    Make me want to holler
    The way they do my life
    This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
    No, no baby, this ain't livin'
    No, no, no, no
    Inflation no chance
    To increase finance
    Bills pile up sky high
    Send that boy off to die
    Oh, make me want to holler
    The way they do my life (duh, duh, duh)
    Yeah, make me want to holler
    The way they do my life
    Oh, baby
    Dah, dah, dah
    Dah, dah, dah
    Hang-ups, let downs
    Bad breaks, set backs
    Natural fact is
    Oh honey that I can't pay my taxes
    Oh, make me want to holler
    And throw up both my hands
    Yea, it make me want to holler
    And throw up both my hands
    Oh (ow) crime is (woo) increasing
    Trigger happy policing
    Panic is spreading
    God knows where we're heading
    Oh, make me want to holler
    They don't understand
    Dah, dah, dah
    Dah, dah, dah
    Dah, dah, dah
    Mother, mother
    Everybody thinks we're wrong
    Who are they to judge us
    Simply cause we wear our hair long

    Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming
    Strapped to the wing with the engine running
    You say that this wasn't in your plan
    Don't mess around with the demolition man

    Tied to a chair and the bomb is ticking
    This situation was not of your picking
    You say that this wasn't in your plan
    Don't mess around with the demolition man

    I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
    I can kill conversation as I walk into the room
    I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
    I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man

    You come to me like a moth to the flame
    It's love you need but I don't play that game
    Because you could be my greatest fan
    But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man

    I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
    I kill conversation as I walk into the room
    I'm a three line whip, I'm the sort of thing they ban
    I'm a walking disaster, I'm a demolition man
