mau mau (amerikon)

Singer:jefferson starship

hide witch hide the good folks come to burn thee

their keen enjoyment hid behind a gothic mask of duty

put your old ladies back into bed

put your old men into their graves

cover their ears so they can't hear us sing

cover their eyes so they can't see us play

get out of the way

let the people play

we're gonna get down on you

come alive all over you

dancin' down into your town

you know tyrannosaurus rex was destroyed before

by a furry little ball that crawled along

the primeval jungle floor

he stole the eggs of the dinosaur

close your eyes & create the sound

open your hands & rebuild the ground

we are egg snatchers -

flashin' sunshine children

bunch of diamond thieves

you unleash the dogs

of a grade-b movie star governor's war

while you sit in the dark -

insane with the fear of dying

we'll ball in your parks

- insane with the flash of living

i'm alive

i am human

i will be alive again

so drop your fuckin' bombs

burn your demon babies

i will be again -

rabid lover-feelin' the starch in your grin

callin' for acid cocaine and grass

and receiving your homemade gin

push the button

pull the switch

cut the beam

c'mon make it march

sign me up as a diplomat - my only office is the park

you need to be out before you come in

after you come you go

in the midst of yang is a smaller part of yin

and when it happens you know -

the dawn comes

hey dick

whatever you think of us is totally irrelevant

both to us now and to you

we are the present

we are the future

you are the past

pay your dues and get outta the way

'cause we're not the way you used to be

when you were very young

we're something new

we don't quite know what it is

or particularly care

we just do it - you gotta do it

let the music do it

take you there

do it

do it

do it - gotta do it

something new

something new

something new

new

new

open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'

open your eyes there's a new world today

open your hearts people are lovin'

open it all we've come to stay

i said

open it all we've come to stay

i said

open it all we've come to stay

people

hey you people

everybody

us young people come to stay

i said

people

on relief

we've all come to stay

open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'

open it all we've come to stay

yeah

yeah

yeah

open it all

open it

open it

baby

now open that door
