Paroles

Bedtime, then

It's time for dreams

No one waitin' to warm the dark
No one hopin' that I'll wear red
No one wantin' to spark my spark
No one needin'
Needin' to share my bed
Nobody's arm to cradle my head
To talk about news
Talk about views
Talk about change
About the President dead

Don't break promises, Emmie
Do like you say you do
Don't give yourself options
Most folks lives without them
Most folks does without

Lost track of time, Mama, sorry
Aunt Claudia say she'd mind the children
Say she don't mind minding them
Sorry, Mama, I was out
Being shiftless, having fun

About how the day went
Or how timе flown
Or life been spent
Or I'm all alone

What kind of fun?

You rеmember fun, Mama
Out at the parking lot
Longside the A&W
Bunch of us talking
Dancing to the radio

The President's dead!

I know
The radio play music anyway
Just some old white man
Sent Larry off to Vietnam
Sorry he dead
I ain't killed him

I'm too tired to fight
You don't do me right
I can't do with no daughters as shiftless as you

Just some old white man
Don't care about the black man

Emmie Thibodeaux!
Since when you say 'black man'?
You say colored or Negro like you was raised up to

Say he do stuff for us
To get our vote
He just ignore us
Same old story, Mama
Same tired old lie
If you got to do it, Mama
Go ahead and cry
I ain't got no tears to shed
For no dead white guy

Free, free, lonesome and free
No one pacin' the floor for me
Flower don't need no honey bee
If free mean misery, that's what I be
Ain't nobody's baby
Ain't property
Got nothing I own 'cept being alone
Free and lonely

Go on and get yourself to bed, girl
Who ever put a mouth like that on you?
I know I didn't do it
God didn't do it
Some days I don't know what I'm gonna do

How your knees today?

They fine, go on to sleep
Don't wake up the baby
Say prayers for us all
Give your mama a kiss
Apologize to God for being such an unholy priss
And a caution and a sass
'Fore your mama whups your-
