APPLAUSE

# Oh, my name, it ain't nothin'

# My age, it means less

# The country I come from

# Is called the Midwest

# I was taught and brought up there

# The laws to abide

# And that the land that I live in has God on its side

# Oh, the history books tell it

# They tell it so well

# The cavalries charged

# The Indians fell

# The cavalries charged

# The Indians died

# Oh, the country was young

# With God on its side

# The Spanish-American War had its day

# And the Civil War too was soon laid away

# And the names of the heroes

# I was made to memorise

# With guns in their hands

# And God on their side. #

# It's true that all the men you knew were dealers

# Who said they were through with dealing

# Every time you gave them shelter

# I know that kind of man

# It's hard to hold the hand

# Of anyone who's reaching for the sky just to surrender

# Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

# And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind

# You'll find he did not leave you very much

# Not even laughter

# Like any dealer he was watching for the card

# That is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another

# He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

# He was just some Joseph

# Looking for a manger

# And then leaning on your windowsill he'll say

# One day you caused his will to weaken with your love

# And warmth and shelter

# And then taking from his wallet an old schedule of trains, he'll say

# I told you when I came I was a stranger

# I told you when I came I was a stranger

# But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams

# As though they were the burden of some other

# You've seen that man before His golden arm dispatching cards

# But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger

# And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter

# Yes, he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter

# Oh, you hate to watch another tired man lay down his hand

# Like he was giving up the holy game of poker

# And while he talks his dreams to sleep

# You notice there's a highway that is curling up like smoke

# Above his shoulder

# And suddenly you feel a little older

# Now you tell him to come in, sit down

# But something makes you turn around

# The door is open You can't close your shelter

# You try the handle of the road

# It opens, do not be afraid

# It's you, my love You who are the stranger

# It is you, my love You who are the stranger

# Well, I've been waiting

# I was sure we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for

# I think it's time to board another

# Please understand I never had a secret chart

# To get me to the heart of this or any other matter

# When he talks like this You don't know what he's after

# When he speaks like this You don't know what he's after

# Let's meet tomorrow if you choose Upon the shore, beneath the bridge

# That they are building on some endless river

# Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm

# You realise, he's only advertising one more shelter

# And it comes to you He never was a stranger

# And you say OK, the bridge or someplace later

# And then leaning on your windowsill

# He'll say one day you caused his will to weaken with your love

# And warmth and shelter

# And then taking from his wallet an old schedule of trains, he'll say

# I told you when I came I was a stranger

# I told you when I came

# I was a stranger

# I told you when I came I was a stranger. #

# I slept last night in a good hotel

# I went shopping today for jewels

# The wind rushed around in the dirty town

# And the children let out from the schools

# I was standing on a noisy corner

# Waiting for the walking green

# Across the street he stood and he played real good

# On his clarinet for free

# Now, me, I play for fortunes

# And those velvet curtain calls

# I've got a black limousine

# And two gentlemen

# Escorting me to the halls

# Now I play if you have the money

# Or if you're a friend to me

# But the one-man band

# By the quick lunch stand

# He was playing real good for free

# Nobody stopped to hear him

# Though he played so sweet and high

# They knew he had never been on their TV

# So they passed his music by

# Oh, I meant to go over and ask for a song

# Maybe put on some kind of harmony

# I heard his refrain as the signal changed

# He was playing real good

# For free. #

# Cain slew Abel

# Seth knew not why

# For if the children of Israel were supposed to multiply

# Why must any of the children die?

# So he asked the Lord

# And the Lord said

# Man means nothing

# He means less to me

# Than the lowliest cactus flower

# The humblest yucca tree

# He chases round this desert

# Cos he thinks that's where I'll be

# That's why I love mankind

# I recoil in horror

# From the foulness of thee

# From the squalor and the filth and the misery

# How we laugh up here in heaven

# At the prayers you offer me

# That's why I love mankind

# Christians and the Jews

# Were having a jamboree

# The Buddhists and the Hindus

# Joined on satellite TV

# They picked their four greatest priests

# And they began to speak They said

# Lord, a plague is on the world

# Lord, no man is free

# The temples that we built to you

# Have fallen into the sea

# Lord, if you won't take care of us

# Won't you please, please let us be?

# And the Lord said

# And the Lord said...

# I burn down your cities

# How blind you must be

# I take from you your children

# And you say how blessed are we

# Man, you really must be crazy

# To put your faith in me

# That's why I love mankind

# You really need me

# That's why I love mankind. #

# A new winter coat and shoes for the wife

# And a bicycle on the boy's birthday

# It's just a rumour that was spread around town

# By the women and children Soon we'll be shipbuilding

# Well, I ask you

# The boy said, Dad, they're going to take me to task

# But I'll back by Christmas

# It's just a rumour that was spread around town

# Somebody said that someone got filled in

# For saying that people get killed in

# The result of the shipbuilding

# With all the will in the world

# Diving for dear life

# When we could be diving for pearls

# It's just a rumour that was spread around town

# A telegram for a picture postcard

# Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard

# And notifying the next of kin

# Once again

# It's all we're skilled in

# We will be shipbuilding

# With all the will in the world

# Diving for dear life

# When we could be diving for pearls. #

# I was a miner

# I was a docker

# I was a railway man

# Between the wars

# I raised a family

# In times of austerity

# With sweat at the foundry

# Between the wars

# I paid the union and as times got harder

# I looked to the government to help the working man

# But they brought prosperity down at the armory

# We're arming for peace, me boys

# Between the wars

# I kept the faith and I kept voting

# Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand

# For theirs is a land with a wall around it

# And mine is a faith in my fellow man

# Theirs is a land of hope and glory

# Mine is the green field and the factory floor

# Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers

# And mine is the peace we knew

# Between the wars

# Call up the craftsmen

# Bring me the draftsmen

# Build me a path from cradle to grave

# And I'll give my consent

# To any government

# That does not deny a man a living wage

# Go find the young men never to fight again

# Bring up the banners from the days gone by

# Sweet moderation

# Heart of this nation

# Desert us not, we are

# Between the wars. #

# You got a fast car

# I want a ticket to anywhere

# Maybe we make a deal

# Maybe together we can get somewhere

# Any place is better

# Starting from zero got nothing to lose

# Maybe we'll make something

# Me myself I got nothing to prove

# You got a fast car

# I got a plan to get us out of here

# I been working at the convenience store

# Managed to save just a little bit of money

# Won't have to drive too far

# Just 'cross the border and into the city

# You and I can both get jobs

# And finally see what it means to be living

# See, my old man's got a problem

# He live with the bottle That's the way it is

# He says his body's too old for working

# His body's too young to look like this

# My mama went off and left him

# She wanted more from life than he could give

# I said somebody's got to take care of him

# So I quit school and that's what I did

# You got a fast car

# Is it fast enough so we can fly away?

# We gotta make a decision

# Leave tonight or live and die this way

# So remember when we were driving Driving in your car

# Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

# City lights lay out before us

# And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

# And I had a feeling that I belonged

# I had a feeling I could be someone

# Be someone, be someone

# You got a fast car

# We go cruising, entertain ourselves, still ain't got a job

# And I work in a market as a checkout girl

# I know things will get better

# You'll find work and I'll get promoted

# We'll move out of the shelter

# Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

# So remember when we were driving Driving in your car

# Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

# City lights lay out before us

# And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

# And I had a feeling that I belonged

# I had a feeling I could be someone

# Be someone, be someone

# You got a fast car

# I got a job that pays all our bills

# You stay out drinking late at the bar

# See more of your friends than you do of your kids

# I'd always hoped for better

# Thought maybe together you and me find it, I got no plans

# I ain't going nowhere so take your fast car and keep on driving

# You got a fast car

# Is it fast enough so you can fly away?

# You gotta make a decision

# Leave tonight or live and die this way. #

# You must learn. #

Yes, this is the mighty Boogie Down Productions.

Willie D, DJ Kenny Parker.

# Just like I told you you must learn

# Just like I told you

# You must learn

# It's calm yet wild the style that I speak

# Just filled with facts and you will never get weak in the heart

# In fact you'll start to illuminate knowledge to others in a song

# Let me demonstrate the force of knowledge, knowledge reigned supreme

# The ignorant is ripped to smithereens

# What do you mean when you say I'm rebellious?

# Cos I don't accept everything that you're telling us

# What are you selling us The creator dwellin' us

# I sit in your unknown class while you're failin' us

# I failed your class cos I ain't with your reasoning

# You're tryin' to make me you by seasoning

# Up my mind with see Jane run, see John walk in a hardcore New York

# Come on now, it's like a chocolate cow

# It doesn't exist no way, no how

# It seems to me that in a school that's ebony

# African history should be pumped up steadily

# But it's not and it's got to stop

# See Spot run, run get Spot

# Insulting to a Black mentality, a Black way of life

# Or a jet Black family, so I include with one concern

# That you must learn

# Just like I told you, you must learn

# Just like I told you

# You, you must learn

# Just like I told you, you must learn

# Just like I told you

# You, you must learn

# I believe that if you're teaching history

# Filled with straight-up facts no mystery

# Teach the student what needs to be taught

# Cos black and white kids both take shorts

# When one doesn't know about the other ones' culture

# Ignorance swoops down like a vulture

# Cos you don't know that you ain't just a janitor

# No-one told you about Benjamin Banneker

# A brilliant black man that invented the almanac

# Can't you see where KRS is coming at?

# With Elie Whitney, Holly Selosy,

# Grand Bill Woods made the walkie-talkie

# Lewis Latterman improved on Edison

# Charles Drew did a lot for medicine

# Garrett Morgan made the traffic lights

# Harriet Tubman freed the slaves at night

# Madame CJ Walker made a straightin' comb

# But you won't know this if you weren't shown

# The point I'm gettin' at, it might be harsh

# Cos we're just walkin' around brainwashed

# So what I'm sayin' is not to diss a man

# We need the '89 school system

# One that caters to a black return because

# You must learn. #

# Go son, go down to the water

# And see the women weeping there

# And then go up into the mountains

# The men, they are a-weeping too

# Father, why are all the women weeping?

# They are all weeping for their men

# Then why are all the men there weeping?

# They are weeping back at them

# This is a weeping song

# A song in which to weep

# While all the men and women sleep

# This is a weeping song

# But I won't be weeping long

# Father, why are all the children weeping?

# They are merely crying, son

# O, are they merely crying, Father?

# Yes, true weeping is yet to come

# This is a weeping song

A song in which to weep

# While all the little children sleep

# This is a weeping song

# But I won't be weeping long

# Father, tell me, are you weeping?

# Your face, it seems wet to touch

# If so, then I am sorry, Father

# I never thought I hurt you so much

# This is a weeping song

# A song in which to weep

# While we rock ourselves to sleep

# This is a weeping song

# But I won't be weeping long

# No, I won't be weeping long

# No, I won't be weeping long

# No, I won't be weeping long. #

APPLAUSE

# She came from Greece She had a thirst for knowledge

# She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College

# That's where I...

# ..caught her eye

# She told me that her dad was loaded

# I said "In that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"

# She said "Fine"

# And then in 30 seconds' time

# She said...

# "I want to live like common people

# "I want to do whatever common people do

# "I want to sleep with common people

# "I want to sleep with common people like you"

# Well, what else could I do?

# I said "I'll see what I can do"

# I took her to a supermarket

# I don't know why But I had to start it somewhere

# So it started there

# I said "Pretend you've got no money"

# She just laughed and said "Oh, you're so funny"

# I said, "Yeah?

# "Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here

# "Are you sure

# "You want to live like common people?

# "You want to see whatever common people see

# And the stupid things that you do

# Because you think that poor is cool

# Like a dog lying in a corner

# They'll tear your insides out

# Cos everybody hates a tourist

# Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh

# And the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

# How it feels to live your life

# With no meaning or control

# And with nowhere left to go

# You are amazed that they exist

# And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why

# Rent a flat above a shop

# Cut your hair and get a job

# Smoke some fags and play some pool

# Pretend you never went to school

# But still you'll never get it right

# My father, who ain't in heaven

# Hey-hey, yeah, whoa...

# My momma was raised in the era when

# Clean water was only served to the fairer skin

# Doing clothes you would have thought I had help

# But they wasn't satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
