FISHBONE LYRICS - Slow Bus Movin' (Howard Beach Party)

"Slow Bus Movin' (Howard Beach Party)"



"Born in the 1940's, my parents couldn't vote,

X and King were on a march for power true,

Black power that is

Panther's and their attitudes,

sport fresh new business suits, yeh yeh.

Stricken with determination to rise above a slave,

the mayo men used firehoses

to spray the monkeys back in their cages."

Round and around and around they go

The bus is goin mighty slow

Brothers in the back seat

Caucs in the front

People gettin' hostile when I kill someone

"Well the overlords thought it would be a good idea

to mix the Black with the White but if you're a fly in

the buttermilk they'll chase you all through the night.

So go ahead and burn your cross and rape our women in the night,

'cause the day will come when your cream coated daughter is gonna be my wife."
