Tar and Feathers
Tar Baby we don’t need no glue
Tar Baby feathers stick to you
Tar Baby we don’t need no glue
Tar Baby feathers stick to you
I’ll never show it, but I’m afraid.
Afraid of losing before I can finish building it,
Afraid of bruising; so numb I ain’t feeling it.
spoil land before I finish tilling it.
Getting billed before I can get paid.
I’ll never show it, but I’m afraid.
Afraid I’m gone before I get to where I’m going;
afraid there is no process for progress made.
I’ll never show it, but I’m afraid.
Tar Baby we don’t need no glue
Tar Baby feathers stick to you.
Tar Baby we don’t need no glue
Tar Baby feathers stick to you
They say you Too skinny; They say you too dark,
genius and demons are lost in the night; can’t tell them apart
On this journey; I Been ready to embark,
Yet still I’m afraid that I’ll miss my mark.
Still you Too skinny; Still you too dark
from end to end, Seamless; with nowhere to start.
Still you Too skinny; Still you too dark
Genius and demons are lost in the night;
can’t tell them apart.
All in my nightmares they haunt they taunt with threats to harm me; history has warned me of what hate can do:
Tar Baby we don’t need no glue
Tar Baby feathers stick to you
Tar Baby we don’t need no glue
Tar Baby feathers stick to you
