3. No one. I was just asking.
I was listening to it with my headphones and was wondering if any DUers would be offended. No biggie.

6. Yeah, I think it's kinda hip. What a talented dude he was.
Here's the rest:

Sisters, brothers and the whities
Blacks and the crackers
Police and their backers
They're all political actors
Hurry, people running from their worries
While the judge and his juries
Dictate the law that's partly flawed
Cat calling, love balling, fussing and a cussing
Top billing now is killing
For peace no one is willing
Kinda makes you get that feeling
Everybody smoke,
Use the pill and the dope
Educated fools, from uneducated schools
Pimping people is the rule
Polluted water in the pool
And Nixon talking 'bout dont' worry
He say don't worry
He say don't worry
He say don't worry

But they don't know
They're can be no show
And if there's hell below
We're all goanna go
Everybody praying
And everybody saying
But when come time to do
Everybody's laying
Just talking 'bout don't worry
They say don't worry
They say don't worry
They say don't worry

I was goanna ask what love balling is but I think I figured it out.:-)
