Dog Day Afternoon Lyrics

Good morning, boys and girls. It's a new day, what we call the morning after. Ain't nothing changed, though. Still the same war, yer' head feelin like it exploded last night, right. Verse 1: (Promoe) All of the people can?t be alright all of the time they tell me But some people seem to have a right to have it all All of my people let?s unite right now Don?t follow Babylon system because they?re capitalistic cannibals I?m callin? for equal rights and justice just like the teacher Peter Tosh did Tryin? to reach my people in the mush pit at the festivals Or at the clubs, the cars, the parks, at homes ? wherever you choose to roam Promoe on the microphone, don?t care if I?m right or no I just shoot the foam Don?t know if it?s night or afternoon, but I know it?s the morning after soon And I know I?m gonna pass out soon, too fast too soon, bring me back the tune So I can vibe all night like there?s no tomorrow Come with me on a flight, leave this world so shallow Piece of the pie, keys of the ride, E?s for the high, dime piece on the side That?s what they all want aint?s it, y?all gon? feel it morning after, no more laughter Work in iniquity and we think we are free Just because we can?t see, the chorus sing it with me! Chorus: (Promoe & Rantoboko) Oh yes - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon I?m so tired of the world right now - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon Never wanna wake up no more - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon Just wanna take it easy - I am with the people when the world unites... Verse 2: (Timbuktu) No peace ? no justice, they?re restless, don?t need get busted for questions Seek and trust in affection, plus keep in touch with the checks and People wieldin? weapons at each other to keep it covered And keep it comin?, the power that be just wanna see the numbers Would probably eat their mothers, don?t really speak to others Just sit back and watch people fall into deeper slumbers Of money and materialistic shit That?s unequally distributed And the things that we?re willing to risk for it, to just get a whiff of it Ride around town in a crispy whip, get a pretty chick to kiss my lip I want every day to be like a festival, I wanna kick back have nothing else to do But eat cake in the park, drink makers mark, swim around the pool like a mako shark But what am I gonna make the bacon off? And I get no sleep still awake at dawn All I wanna do is hold my chest out, all you gonna get is totally stressed out Howlin like a Wolf, screaming like Jay Hawkins With nightmares of what their dreams might cost them Chorus: (Timbuktu & Rantoboko) Oh yes - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon Thinkin? of when times get better - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon Pointin? my eyes to the sky - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon And you know - I?m chillin? with my people... when the world unites Verse 3: (Chords) All I hear are clocks tickin?, I?m stuck in this hot kitchen in the fuckin? wok sizzin?, watchin? how the plot thickens Watchin? all these cops friskin? little kids for shopliftin? Tellin? em to stop, listen! Run and check the job listings Nah mister, I don?t work for slave wages I don?t want my playstation to trade places with a pacemaker I just relaxed real cool, sat back looked pass the rules You and your pack of fools ruined my afternoon I swear these motherfuckers got a hold of me, bloodsuckers controllin? me Won?t let go of me, and they throwin? me to the wall, but I fall on my own two feet Could it be cus I?m rollin? trees and my block smells like potpourri With my eyes shot red like the Cyclops in the Odyssey when I go to sleep It is cus I don?t hold the grease? Fuck that man I flow on beats Fuck the man patrollin? streets, cuffin? hands and holdin heat I?d rather earn a dollar with a dirty collar workin? the early hours for something worth the bother! Chorus: (Chords & Rantoboko) Don?t need no 9-5 - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon Not to know that I?m alive - It?s been a hard day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon See I know that time will fly - It?s been a had day?s night now it?s a dog day afternoon Even if I don?t climb inside, and vibe... - Relaxin? with my people when the world unites!
