Everything Old Is New Again

-Marvin Gaye , Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler), 1971

Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on, the have nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it, you take it

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, (Yeah)
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no,baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no, no

Inflation, no chance
To increase, finance
Bills pile up, sky high
Send that boy off, to die

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Oh yeah)

(Instrumental Interlude)

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural,fact is
Oh. honey that I can't pay my, taxes

Oh, it make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah, it make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands

Crime is, increasing
Trigger happy, policing
Panic, is spreading
God knows where, we're heading

(Instrumental interlude)

Mother, Mother, Mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong (Mother)
Who are they to judge us? (Mother, Mother)
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long? (Mother)
