a little place under an overpass in East Oakland...
lyrics
Jingle Town (nuvocoke@gmail.com)
"roller's" flashing lights all red, white, and blue
hey paranoid people, they're coming after you...
red light, green light, it's all the same whether
you're black, brown, or white you're still caught in
the game...
(CHORUS) it's going down in jingle town... come
gather 'round and let me tell you 'bout this funky
place I wish I'd never found... it's in the middle
of the city, but outta this world, when god created
jingle town, his hair must o' curled... (I mean like
nappy, you know, kinky...)
a brother wrote "yo' momma" on a greasy brick wall,
by an action packed number in a sleazy scrawl...
well, the rats in the rubbish tend to make your flesh
crawl, but, that feeling isn't all you're gonna get
in jingle town...
I saw a man walking down the street, with a sign saying
he'd work for something to eat... red, yellow, green
light, they'd pass him by... nobody ever stopped,
nobody wanted to try... (CHORUS)
I mean coiled, you know, like a snake...)
don't read the writing there, don't breath the air...
you're bound to catch something if you stand and stare,
keep your hand in your pockets, but, don't play with
what's there, or you might just go "all the way" in
jingle town...
concrete path, all beaten and tread, the straight and
narrow arrow of the walking dead... red light, green
light, again and again... it's like a day and night
crusade in the lion's den... (CHORUS)
