Billy Jack — текст песни (Lenny Kravitz)

(On The Tributeto Curtis Mayfield)

Just out of Monday
Run into a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where I live
Ah! Ah! Sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message, from the message
He had to give
`Bout a buddy of mine
Running out of time
Somebody past noon, shot across the room
And now the man no longer lives
Too bad about him,
Too sad about him
Don`t get me wrong, the man is gone
But it`s a wonder he lived this long
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! didn`t care nothing about being black
Ah! Billy Jack
Can`t be no fun ( can`t be no fun )
To be shot, shot with a hand gun
Body sprawled out, you without a doubt
Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh
Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess
Shot all up in his chest
One sided duel, gun and a fool
What a way to go
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! Didn`t care nothin` bout being Black
Ah, Ah, Billy Jack
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
