PRE NUCLEAR WAR BLUES MESSAGE TO THE WORLD FROM MANDRILL THIS SONG CAUTIONS AGAINST THE PERPETUAL MANUFACTURING AND USE OF NUCLEAR ARMS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN THE ANNIHILATION OF HUMANS AND ALL LIFE ON OUR PLANET AS WE KNOW IT LYRICS: I got the blues I got the pre-nuclear war blues Listen up hear! I went down by the river Where the cold wind blow Up jumped a fish ‘bout a hundred year ole I said fish, Oh! Mr. Fish I said fish, Mr. Fish He said Yes, what can I do for you? Yes son, what can I do for you? I said my world in trouble Gimme some advice On the eve of destruction And you know that ain’t nice. Armies are gathering In the middle east Everybody fidgety They got that pre-war disease They got the media Talking stuff The major world powers All joining up. Surrounding a nation Who control the crude You know the thing is black and sticky What we gon' do? I want to know what we gon' do Tell me what we gon' do. The fish just shook his head Turned around and said…ha ha Ya'll humans are so stupid I ain't tellin' no lie You mess up my ocean, kill my babies Now you’re scared to die. You're the keeper of the planet But you chose to live hi-fly So put your head between your legs And kiss your ass goodbye That’s what the fish told me…then he swim away So I went to the jungle, Where the lion roar. He took a dump Right there on the jungle floor. He said ummmm Ooooweee! I smell a man Behind a tree. I said please have mercy on me, Mr. Lion I got good reason For invading your privacy You see, my world Like it's gone crazy People insane, babies with uzies Killin' for the cocaine The holy man, Not like before Now he's stealing from his mama While he runnin' whores The politicians Won't stop the crime They bamboozle my children And send them off to the front lines. Seem like they ready To scorch the land They playing musical missiles in the desert with Sadam I need a plan Give me a plan I need a plan Give me a plan It's getting closer and closer They got a deadline happening. He said, ya'll humans are so greedy I ain't tellin' no lie You slash and burn, the land your spurn And leave me high and dry You kill my friends for their ivory And leave their babies there to die. So, put head between your legs And kiss your ass goodbye. Right then the king of beasts Walked past, dropped a tear to earth Shook his mane, rearranged himself And slowly melted into the jungle….. And I pondered. Well, then I climbed the mountain Where the eagle lay Thunder and lightening Like a hoodoo day. I heard boom, Boom, boom, bam, bam, boom I heard boom, Boom, bam, boom, boom Cloud like mushroom Was rising tough Right about then the big bird Snatched me up. She took me higher Than I've been before Above the melee But she just couldn’t hold She said Brudda! You such a heavy load I must save my babies So I gotta let you go. I was free falling Towards the land When I felt somebody Hold my hand. When my mama woke me My teary eyes gleamed Like a Hollywood movie It was a bad dream. Just a bad dream. It was only a bad dream, you know. Yes, I was so glad to be out of the twilight zone I raced to the window Flung the shutters open And shouted to the world. We all humans better wake up While nature's on our side It’s not too late to clean the slate And keep mother earth alive Stop fighting with your brothers Use history as your guide, or PUT YOUR HEAD BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE |
