kid creole and the coconuts - oh marie lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
yo, did you hear the news today?
no, tell me what they say
they shot another juvenile, shot her dead
a 38 went straight through her head
while she was sitting up in her bed
no joke? no joke
i say the girl was called marie
oh marie

[verse 2]
see the only thing she was guilty of
was living on the street where they sell drugs
ain’t no particular mystery
cos same d+mn thing happened just last week
happens all the time (all the time)
marie didn’t еven make the hеadline
no joke
oh marie

[chorus]
why should it be?
oh marie
oh marie
oh marie, marie
[verse 3]
you can now look me up in the directory
i go by the name of animosity
i’m tired of depending on the boys in blue
cos they’re underpaid and they’re far too few
is it asking too much to keep the neighbourhood clean
so a child’s motivated, has a reason to dream
no joke
oh marie

[verse 4]
cut down for living on the one way street
where the handgun is common and the future is bleak
remind me everyday of the o.k. corral
only now it’s all about a syringe or a vial
who’s gonna tell me this is destiny
that some of god’s children weren’t meant to be
no joke
oh marie

[chorus]
why should it be?
oh marie
oh marie
oh marie, marie
[outro]
lord, take my body and my soul
but won’t you please leave the children alone
lord, take my body and my soul
but won’t you please leave the children alone

leave the children, leave the children alone
take my body and my soul
take my body and my soul
leave the children alone
children, children alone
play that thing charlie, charlie
