curtis mayfield - the got dang song lyrics

[intro]
it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)
it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)
it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)
it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)

[verse 1]
third world country, sunny skies
colors bright like b+tterflies
cup half empty, soon we die
there is no hope, can’t satisfy
read the bible, no time to play
cure the sick, gotta find a way
great big mountain lined with gold
they have the fortune, us no control

[chorus]
it’s the got dang song (it’s the got dang song, it’s the got dang song)
it’s the got dang song (it’s the got dang song, it’s the got dang song)
yeah, yeah

[verse 2]
minimum wage, say that’s the price
workin’ in the sun all my got dang life
fifty a year, that’s mighty sweet
when i’m workin’ in the sun all the got dang week
standin’ at the bottom of the totem pole
carrying the weight for every got dang soul
figure how the people gonna get up top (yes, god)
you’re reapin’ all the honey, every got dang drop
[chorus]
it’s the got dang song (it’s the got dang song, it’s the got dang song)
(do you know what i’m talkin’ about, yeah)
it’s the got dang song (it’s the got dang song, it’s the got dang song)
(ooh, ooh, ooh, listen [?])
it’s the got dang song (it’s the got dang song, it’s the got dang song)
(say the words, say it, oh yeah)

[breakdown]
it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)
oh yeah, it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)
(talkin’ ’bout the got dang song)
oh yeah, it’s the got dang song (hey, hey, hey)
(listen now)

[verse 3]
saw him from the shadow when he shot the gun
through the ghetto jungle, away he run (oh)
livin’ in the city, ain’t going nowhere (ooh)
few folks share and ain’t nothin’ fair (oh)
could there be a conspiracy? (talk to me, brother, now)
to thrive on me, a minority (are you listening?)
some folks say to suck it up, hey (come on, come on, come on)
ain’t got no straw, ain’t got no cup (ooh)
