IS THIS SOUL? Pop is way too poppy... The blues is just too bluesy... You know funk is way too funky... But Soul... Wooooaaaah! I just had a revelation! Hope I don’t need too much persuasion! I'm gonna end your frustration! And take you to your destination! Hit Me one time! All I got know!... Is this Soul? I'm asking you baby! Gotta know!... Is this Soul? Now tell me! I wanna know!... Is this Soul? I'm asking you honey!... Is this Soul? 'Cause You don't know! Been rockin' the mule since I was five! The bad man's here, he don't sell no jive! All I got know!... Is this Soul? I'm asking you baby! Gotta know!... Is this Soul? Now tell me! I wanna know!... Is this Soul? I'm asking you honey!...I gotta to know!... Is this Soul? 'Cause You don't know!

THAT JUST AIN'T RIGHT That lady she's a killer She´ll come to kill you overnight She killed many more before you You know my brother that just ain't right! That sexy girl she never said no! You thought you had her crazy in love She said she had enough! Now you're sitting all alone counting the days to see her again She says She's just doin' fine She's got someone else on the line That crazy girl she never said no You thought you had her all for yourself but she left for somebody else This innocence of mine was worth the cost but only god knows how much it got me lost If I ever had the chance to do it again I'd choose to repeat this story my friend! You know my brother that just ain't right! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! That lady she's a killer! She´ll come to kill you overnight! You know my brother that just ain't right! That Just Ain't Right!

LITTLE BIG MEN Lately / there's been confusion The Lefties / have joined the righties God / is no longer here Or at least / he changed his looks So sick / of all this nonsense We see / and seem to agree This ain't / what we expected Of those / we once voted for I'm sick of little big men! Pretending to be our leaders! Look around! stay down! you know! Heroes they get killed! "There is no more truth than the one I praised" "Whatever revolution is to be done We will overcome!" We were close / but once again we failed Our message / was in the street The system / had to fight us back The late sixties / showed them well So sick / of all this nonsense We see / and seem to agree This ain't / what we expected Of those / we once voted for I'm sick of little big men! Pretending to be our leaders! Look around! stay down! you know! Heroes they get killed! "There is no more truth than the one I praised" "Whatever revolution is to be done We will overcome!" See that morning dew over your window While you are looking through safe in your shelter Will you get exposed? and take any risk? will you just let it happen while you eat your morning toast? Hit me hard! / wake me up! So sick / of all this nonsense We see / and seem to agree This ain't / what we expected Of those / we once voted for I'm sick of little big men! Pretending to be our leaders! Look around! stay down! you know! Heroes they get killed! "There is no more truth than the one I praised" "Whatever revolution is to be done We will overcome!"

Dog Hair 04:57
DOG HAIR I got a little girl She barks like a dog She kiss like an angel But smells like a hog Every night at nine I take her out for a walk I thank the Lord That She don't talk I need some kinky hair of the dog That woman is keepin' me in a fog Don't look like a woman, She gets down to beg Look out now she's coming! And humpin' on my leg! She bit the postman, it was an ugly scene She likes it dog style and buys the vaseline! "Baby they say a dog is a man's best friend but here is where our friendship's got to end" I need some kinky hair of the dog That woman is keepin' me in a fog Don't look like a woman, She gets down to beg I washed her poodle with my tail between her legs Now I'm a nice guy! I hate to be rude! The best thing about her is I feed her dog food!
