Human Being Lawnmower: The Baddest & Maddest Of The Mc5 lyrics

I'm at my borderline
I'm at my borderline
Love you girl, but I just don't know why
I, have to love you so.

When I make love to you
when I make love to you
Love is true, but I just don't know why
I, have to love you so.

Need you girl, can't say why
come on over here, love me now
you know you know, you got to know,
you're movin around, pushin me past
my borderline, yeah yeah.

Teachers, parents and politicians
They ridicule my wild ambitions
They say, "settle down son, live decently,
Or you'll rot in jail before your 23!"
They don't know their stuck in the past
Can't stop me now 'cause I'm movin' too fast

Presidents, priests and old ladies too
They'll swear on the Bible
what's best for you
Atom bombs, Vietnam, missiles on the moon

When it happened
something snapped inside
made me want to hide
all alone on my own
all alone on my own
I stood up on the stand
with my eyes shut tight
didn´t want to see anbody
feeling happy
having a good time, now hey
doing alright doing alright,
doing alright doing alright

Looked hard into the dancing crowd
felt like screaming out loud
I saw you standing in there

Ya know, the Motor City is burning babe,
there ain't a thing in the world that they can do.
Ya know, the Motor City is burning people,
there ain't a thing that white society can do.
Ma home town burning down to the ground,
worser than Vietnam.
Let me tell you how it started now ...
it started on 12th & Clairmount that morning.
It made the pig cops all jump & shout,

Instrumental

A punch to get it [?], tryin' to get it / To do what I wanted to do / I cried and scream when I saw my dream / It was dancin' all around the room / Follow baby, save my soul / I just couldn't wait for you / Energy, energy, greatest drink [?] / And I knew what I had to do / Baby baby that's no lie / Baby baby don't ask me why

They told you in school about freedom
But when you try to be free they never let ya
They said "it's easy , nothing to it"
And now the army's out to get ya
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues
And i'm finally getting hip to the American ruse

I learned to say the pledge of allegiance

Can You Hear Me
Hope You Can
Listen Here Closely
You'll Understand
Make Way For The Killer Race,
They Use The Bible
Millimeter By Millimeter
Millimeter By Millimeter
Six Times Hot As The Sun
Didn't Mean To Hurt Anyone
Didn't Mean To Hurt Anyone
Sorry, Sorry Yeah
Don't Try To Force Them
To Help Them
Do What They Do What They Do
So The Hurting's Not On You
Chasin' For Miles
