Текст песни Many Moons - Janelle Monáe

Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo
Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo
Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, voo-doo-doo-doo
We′re dancing free, but we're stuck here underground
(Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
And everybody trying to figure they way out
(Voo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Heh-heh-heh-hey, all we ever wanted to say
Was chased, erased, and then blown away
And day-to-day we live in a daze
We march all around till the sun goes down (night children)
Night children hid around (night children)
Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom)
You′re free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind
Oh make it rain, ain't a thing and it′s gonna fall
(The silver bullet′s in your hand and the war's heating up)
And when the truth goes bang, the shouts splatter out
(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
And when you′re growing down instead of growing up
(You gotta oo ah-ah like a panther)
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?
(Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na-na na)
He lived in Sector 10
He had a friend named Benjamin
Sail away, sail away Suzanne
So strong for so long
All I wanna do is sing my simple song
Is it square or round, rich or poor?
At the end of day and night all we want is more
I keep my feet on solid ground
And use my wings when storms come around (I use, I use my wings when storms come around)
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom (Freedom, freedom, freedom)
You're free but in your mind, your freedom′s in a bind
Oh make it rain, ain't a thing and it′s gotta fall
(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
And when the truth goes bang, the shouts splatter out
(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
And when you′re growing down instead of growing up (You gotta oo ah-ah like a panther)
Ooh baby tell me are you bold enough to reach for love? (Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na)
Civil rights, civil war
Hood rat, crack whore
Carefree, nightclub
Closet drunk, bathtub
Outcast, weirdo
Stepchild, freak show
Black girl, bad hair
Broad nose, cold stare
Tap shoes, Broadway
Tuxedo, holiday
Creative block, love song
Stupid words, erased song
Gun shots, orange house
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth
Spoiled milk, stale bread
Welfare, bubonic plague
Record deal, light bulb
Keep-back kid, now corporate thug
Breast cancer, common cold
HIV, lost hope
Overweight, self esteem
Misfit, broken dream
Fish tank, small bowl
Closed minded, dark hold
Cybergirl, droid control
Get away now they trying to steal your soul
Microphone, one stage
Tomboy, outrage
Street fight, bloody war
Instigators, third floor
Promiscuous child, broken heart
STD, quarantine
Heroin needle, coke head
Final chapter, death bed
Plastic sweat, metal skin
Metallic tears, mannequin
Carefree, night club
Closet drunk, bathtub
White House, Jim Crow
Dirty lies, my regards
And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with me and I′ll take you home
No need to pack a bag
(Just treat you)
(Just treat you wrong)
Who put your life in the danger zone?
You running dropping like a rolling stone
No time to pack a bag
You just can't stop your heart from hanging on
The old man dies and then a baby′s born
Chan-chan-chan-change your life
And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with us and we'll take you home
Shan-Shan-Shan-Shangri-La
Na-na-na na na, na na, na-na na-na
