you don't need the end of the story
you don't care, you live for today
you don't fight for queen or for country
you don't want to carry the blame
you know me I have no children
I know you have others to feed
what will be left over for them
are we now providing their needs?
can you see another future
in the things we do today
can you see another future
in the things we do today?
I thought too, tomorrow would never
come to be - I couldn't see how
me or you - would be in the future
now I see the future is you
can you see another future
in the things we do today
can you see another future
que serà? what will be?
one day I will have to answer
for every single decision made
you and me, we can't run any faster
we will see the part that we played
you need me and I need you brother
we can't be the same on our own
you and me are stronger together
this menagerie is our only home
can you see another future
in the things we do today?
can you see another future?
To be or not to be
that is maximun is-ness
we had a blue time
working in the fields
we are the soul tribe
blood sweat and tears
we're gonna do things
all as we feel
we are the soul tribe
blood till the end
hello my friend
pretty good for me to see you again
wipe the sweat
'cause you're still livin'
I can hear your voice in the wind
jimi, jimi, where're you at
jimi, jimi, you're the cat
(who knows) jimi, how'd you funk like that?
fror a small charge you are free to dance to any record
that you buy for at least half the price
but then there's a dollar figure for every tear
we were forced to cry
hey jimi, where're you at
jimi, why they wanna do you like that?
blood tears and sweat
rap: yo! tape after tape
i'm tired of playing 'em
rhyme after rhyme
hear how i'm laying 'em
black is black - pop music is wack, you see
i'm here so now you gotta deal with me
from hip-hop to slow drag, that's my culture
you're standing there just looking like vultures,
just pickin' apart, like it's musical genocide
jump back jack, you're committing suicide
my funk is fresch, that's why i'm rappin' to it
you're standing there, just trying to clap to it
radio's playing all those phoney seducers
boy george got picked up by keith sweat's producer
what i've been hearing on my radio
sounds quite funny and lackodaisical
just pick us apart like it's musical genocide
jump back jack, you're committing suicide
we had a blue time
workin' the fields
we are the soul tribe
blood sweet and tears
drifting on a sea of forgotten teardrops
to have been and always will be
now that's what i call maximun is-ness

sampling machine - electric delight
we're coming of age - electric delight
these are computer days - electric delight
we were children before - electric delight
what was it all for?
is life far too easy today
we've machines to come to our aid
have we time for people you say
i'm too busy - no way!
cassettes, CD's - electric delight
or D.A.T's - electric delight
software, IC's - electric delight
and sampling machines
micro PC's - electric delight
micro-surgery - electric delight
satellite TV - electric delight
looks good to me
is life far too easy today?
we've machines to came to our aid
have we time for people you say
I'm too busy - no way!
i don't know what i'm talking about
i don't know what i'm talking about
day in day out, time after time
i look round, i'm way out of line
i use you and you use me
it's the way of the world but i disagree
i have the cash and you have the need
i dictate to you - what will be, will be
i don't know what i'm talking about
i don't know what i'm talking about
all is fair in love and war
and business too it seems - what are we here for?
don't you care if i can make more
than i will ever need, but i'm not so sure
i don't know what i'm talking about
i don't know what i'm talking about
sometimes i find myself way out of line
my opinions and yours disagree all the time
the more i think it over, the more i seem to find
the standard you accept, are they too different from mine?
day in day out, time after time
i look round, i'm way out of line
i don't know what i'm talking about
i don't know what i'm talking about
mme de bourgeois...
there's something wrong with communications
you look the option to break this relation
you're not there, i'm gettin' dizzy
seems you signals are always busy
pick up the phone, say yer, or say no
if it's over now, then say so
my phone bill is wack from callin'
pick up the phone now, girl quit stallin'!
pump, shake your body - wake up!
let me see you do it
c'mon sweet some body fluid
jump, dance, get it
sweet, use your body
and earthquake pump,
d.j.'s got the party jumpin'
house beat's quakin'
music keeps the party shakin'
it's a new day
so turn off the light
wake into a new dream
turn on the night
pump, shake your body - wake up!
made up my mind to be alone
tho' friends may come and friends may go
we can choose when to be free
or enjoy other's company
if we want to we can let go
don't talk of love
let's just be friends
let's carry on just as we are
it's worked out fine for us so far
leave the experimental....
let's not get sentimental
when we are togheter or we're apart
don't talk of love
let's just be friends
let's make no plans to go wrong
just wait for what may come along
we could be in for a surprise
don't talk of love
let's just be friends
da-da-dance
don't you feel that energy?
us together you and me
da-da-dance
girl you take my head
and now i'm turning red
girl i'm so in love with you
dance
da-da-dance
don't you feel that energy?
us together you and me
da-da-dance
i want you know baby baby
since you hit the floor baby baby
all i think about is you
rap:yo! girl, meet me the floor for dreamstate dancin'
when the night is through i'll be romancin'
since you took the floor i've been excited
all that i can think about is how i'm gonna wrap your body tight
and how before the night is thru i'll be holdin' you
if you don't dance with me i'll scream
meet me at the go-go, disco, party or whatever
just don't split that wouldn't be claver and yo!
dream state dance there's no way out makin' love to you
that's what i'm talkin' about -
ready or not i'm willin' and able
you know you're ready too! so girl just say so
since you took the floor girl my libido
is jumpin' like a bull frog pinched with needles
and yo - to wrap your body tight girl that's my aim
and if you're on the one you'll do the same
girl, i'm turning red from all this thinkin'
if you're really cool then you'll stop winking
cause that's a turn on and never felt affection so strong
and yo! there's no way out makin' love to you is what
i'm talkin' about
since you took the floor you're all i see
come here girl, make love to me
don't you feel that energy - da-da-dance
us together you and me - dancin'
if we're too far apart
then can we ever
find a way to bridge the divide
to try and change my heart
no you will never
if you want me to alter my side
we mast have things we
see eye to eye on
please if we can agree
just one time, it'll be easy
when we are divided
see one side
who's right who may be wrong
it's not so easy
if only things where black and white
if we begin with things
we can agree
everythings else we can decide
is separation in fashion again?
we could work together
if it's all the same
i'd rather be alone
and use my own name
is separation in fashion again?
