Hot Gossip - The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Yeah I hear you talking

Baby what you gonna do?

There’s a war going on, now

And they blame it on you and me

Talk about safety, freedom, democracy

I don’t believe 'em

You know if they want my vote

They gotta try a little bit more harder

You can’t talk peace when you’re making war

Too much of this hot gossip

Something going on

A riot going on

To the crack of day

I’m going, going gone

We gotta get down right now

Get on up and shut this shit down

Shut it down

It’s much more than black and blue

Its death and destruction

And how much does it cost?

Burning up the roof

You’re lying on the truth

You got to die and prove

They gotta prove to you

So who the hell is you to tell 'em what to do?

I’m not backing up a bit and watch you have a fit

Your hot gossip

I hear you talking loud

Can you hear me now can’t hit me now

You try to sell us out, what is that about?

And trying to blow us up

Yo my man what’s up?

While the people down in dust die at your trust

You say do my bust so we gotta fuss

Hot gossip we ain’t got a sip

You ain’t gotta trip

What you coming with?

What you coming with?

I got the blues alright

I feel so bad

Bad!

People we gotta get on up

We gotta get up!

And shut this down

Bass

‘Cause it ain’t right and I know I know

When they wrong they wrong

That there’s something better out there

Tell 'em in the song

‘Cause baby I love you

And see the sky outside open up

And everything turn blue

Gotta, c’mon, have it

That’s the blues

What you gotta say?

I got the blues

What is it good for?

So bad, what is it good for?

All your hot gossip

Give me red white and blues
