Make It Known

They can make it known, they can make it hard

Down in the limelight, yeah

Or they can make it known, get you stoned

Down in the streets

Well, you say your woman got a pristine smile

The kind I like but I never saw her (yeah, yeah)

Like why my Daddy used to sit me down

And smack me 'round, guess I'll never know (watch it)

Ooh la, la, ooh, la, la, ooh, la, la-a ooh

What have I done to my son?

Downed by the system

I swiped a credit card

I saw the boys but they didn't even look hard

And somebody out there screams, "He's just a retard"

I saw the boys but they didn't even look hard

Ah-ooh la la, ooh la la, ooo-ooh

Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend?

Now he got muscles, he got muscles, he got

I wanna see his dumb face, so

Take pictures, take pictures when

Blood runs down on the boulevard

She said, "Oh-oh, Why would I want something?

Why would I need someone? But I'm

Willing to change, I'm willing to change

Oh-oh, why would I want something?

Why would I need someone? But I'm

Willing to change, I'm willing to change"

Oh!

I walk around

I watch the children play down on Broadway

But sometimes I think

I can't even take that anymore

When I'm alone I talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices

If there's no voices I just talk to myself

I just talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices

If there's no voices I just talk to myself

But I don't go talk about Jesus anymore

And the strung out ballerinas say, "Hey!

Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend, who’s your?

He give you head, he give you top hat"

In the branches I grab before heading in

The matches, the cocaine clothespin

Can I just hear one good rock 'n roll song

On the radio before

The blood runs down on the boulevard?

Oh-oh, why would I want something?

Why would I need someone? But I'm

Willing to change, I'm willing to change

Oh-oh, why should I want someone?

How can I love someone if I'm not

Willing to change? I'm willing to change

Stop, yeah, stop making love, dear

I guess I'll die here

Waitin' for the light, oh yeah

A new day's comin', children

So don't wake up

I guess I'll stay up, ba-da-da-da

All the night, oh yeah, all night

And waitin' like never before

You know it
