it was really just like we had no choice
I was emotionally naked
'Til I found my voice
And the forgotten source
Of this mainstream funk poured over me
And turned out to be junk
But of all the blood that I've found
On my hands
Just a symbol of the past
Like a crushed tin can
Like fuel for the fire
It burns higher and higher
Tear the roof off the sucker
For a thousand fans
And I said don't you
Even think about holdin' me down
Holdin' me down
Well, everybody said that opposties attract
And I never could believe cuz
it was never on track
And all the broken pieces,
they gather in one place
And all we really wanted was a smile
on our face Like Cheers,
I want to go where everybody knows my name
And settle in a little town
where everyone's the same
But I'm a preacher and poet and I want to
Let 'em know, got love, I gotta show it
And the word, I gotta sow it
Please believe me for real when I tell you
Everything will be okay
You're gonna find out, you're gonna find out
When all God's children come together
