Tekst :

Early on the evening, just about suppertime
Over by the courthouse, they re startin to unwind
Poor kids on the corner tryin to bring you up
Willie picks a tune out and he knows they gonna start

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Johnny hits the washboard, people just gotta smile
Robby thumbs a gut-bass and solos for a while
Poor boy brings the rhythm on his kalamazoo
And Willie goes into a dance doubles on kazoo, Hey!

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

You don t need a penny just to hang around
But if you got a nickel won t ya lay your money down
Over on the corner there s a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willie and the Poor Boys are playin
Bring a nickel tap your feet

(repeat and fade)

It s a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain t so obvious
It s a beautiful sight I guess everybody s right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like with a chill
That ain...

I have a mind, a good memory
Here s how my life begins
I wasn t born from a woman s thighs
But from fire

I dwell on that dream
I don t want that to fade
I keep that dream
Until the axe does all that work

I was kept under the table
Raised from their sigh
I...

Living in the city can be a cold and lonely place to be.
Living in the shadows where there is no sun there is no breeze.
Drinking stale water, having to pay for the privelage.
Talk about your freedom. I ll take you where I think it...

Is this a citadel
Is this a prison cell
Who sits at my right hand now
Who s watching me now
Who made us live this way
When do i get my say
Automation turns us into
Human beings now

Tripping over faces
Humanity has fallen
Huddled into doorways

Another day

Say
Goodbye
Sunshine
Daylight
Cause it s just another day
You will lose it anyway

Kiss
The time
That goes
Away
Cause it s just another day
You will lose it anyway

You
