The Wrong Way - TV On The Radio

Woke up in a magic nigga movie

With the bright lights pointed at me

As a metaphor

Teachin' folks the score

About patience, understanding, agape babe

And sweet sweet amour

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 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 want to cast pearls to swine

I don’t want to 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 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 for her say so

And with 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
