Fishbone
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 wanna kill someone
"Well the overlords thought it would be a good deed
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."
