the negro problem - heidegger in harlem lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
heidegger in harlem on a sunday afternoon
black paint streaming down his face
he’s trying to equalize the distortion in his room
people screaming “unify your race”

[chorus 1]
but see it takes so long
long i have heard, martin
i wanna thank you for pushing my cart along

[verse 2]
there’s a soap box burning
there’s a preacher in the street
black left christian on the way
the preacher’s saying jesus danced to communist beats
“remember how he spread the fish and bread around that day”

[chorus 2]
but it took too long
long i have heard, preacher
i wanna thank you for pushing my cart along

[verse 3]
see heidegger collapses in a soul food restaurant
the sisters bring him cool lemonade
one of them reads aloud from a notebook by the plate
it says “i think this poor white boy’s about to fade”
[chorus 3]
but see it takes too long
long i have heard, preacher
i wanna thank you for pushing my cart along

[verse 4]
now the preacher’s wearing boxing gloves, the crowd is with him now
he’s punching out the demons of the state
even malcolm smiles
adjusts his tie in the book store window
he says take me home now, preacher, i can’t wait

[chorus 4]
history clock
don’t make no tick+tock
it won’t tell the time
so which watch should be mimed
it won’t plant the seeds
which whisper through the trees
and sway on the song
that pushes my cart along
