Testi Somebody's Kid - John Trudell

Somebody's Kid

I was crazy before
Now I’m crazy again
I won the fools war
In a game I can’t win
Me and bliss playing hit and miss
Me and buzz forgot where I was
Looking for a disguise that passes
Cutting class in our looking glasses
Sons were acting like their fathers
Mothers acting like their daughters
There was a rich ugly lady who
Thought her money made her pretty
There was a respected powerful man
Being mean with a reckless hand
Told me they were out of civil rights
I looked like a case for sybil rights
Me and Jesus trying to keep loose
Step ahead of the goose stepping goose
New age world in an old world cage
Supply and demand long on demand
And happiness is in short supply
Dealer mans not dealing drugs
Because people do drugs
It’s so they will
A way of fixing them while they break
As they run out of wishes and hope
He steps in with materials and dope
I was crazy before
Now I’m crazy again
I won the fools war
In a game I can’t win
Me and I guess are in a mess
Princess of double speak said
Wasn’t her doing what she did
I cried don’t do me like you done
Can’t you see I’m somebody’s kid
I was feeling lonesome and blue so
I called my steady maybe up
She changed her number to
Nine seven six
Guess she’s lonesome and blue too
I tried to catch a falling star
When I missed it hit me on the head
What I call falling star struck
I was crazy before
Now I’m crazy again
I won the fools war
In a game I can’t win
I was crazy before
Now I’m crazy again
I won the fools war
In a game I can’t win
I was crazy before
Now I’m crazy again
I won the fools war
In a game I can’t win
