Letra da Música The Wrong Way de TV on the Radio

Woke up in a magic nigger movie
With the bright lights pointed at me
As a metaphor
Teachin’ folks the score
About patience, understanding, agape babe
And sweet sweet amore

When I realized where I was
Did I stand up and testify
Oh, fist up signify
Or did I show off my soft shoe
Maybe teach’em a boogaloo
Busy playing the whore

Oh the loiterers united
Indivisible by shame
Hungry for those diamonds
Served on little severed bloody brown hands
Oh the bling drips
Oh the bling drips down
Fallin’ down just like rain

I don’t wanna cast pearls to swine
I don’t wanna march peacefully
No no no no no no no no no
New negro politician
Is stirring
Is stirring
Is stirring inside me
No there’s nothing inside me
But an angry heart beat
Can you feel this heart beat?

Oh fear we’re fallin’ off
Oh terror we’re pained
Oh hunger or we’re stavin’ off
Roasted vermin sustain. . .
This shit will have to sustain

Shootin’ doves from off balconies,
They wanna shackle the lame
By now you know their game

Little nina arose,
Went to stand by her payphone
Waited for her caller to ring, said,
Ask me anything

I just asked for her
I just asked her to say so
And with her permission
I’m gonna take liberty
And I’m tellin’ you to take it too
Cause it’s right there in front of you

Hey, desperate youth!
Oh, blood thirsty babes!
Oh your guns are pointed
Your guns are pointed the wrong way
Your guns are pointed the wrong way
