Somebody's Kid - John Trudell

I was crazy before

Now I’m crazy again

I won the fools war

In a game I can’t win

Me and bliss playing hit and miss

Me and buzz forgot where I was

Looking for a disguise that passes

Cutting class in our looking glasses

Sons were acting like their fathers

Mothers acting like their daughters

There was a rich ugly lady who

Thought her money made her pretty

There was a respected powerful man

Being mean with a reckless hand

Told me they were out of civil rights

I looked like a case for sybil rights

Me and Jesus trying to keep loose

Step ahead of the goose stepping goose

New age world in an old world cage

Supply and demand long on demand

And happiness is in short supply

Dealer mans not dealing drugs

Because people do drugs

It’s so they will

A way of fixing them while they break

As they run out of wishes and hope

He steps in with materials and dope

I was crazy before

Now I’m crazy again

I won the fools war

In a game I can’t win

Me and I guess are in a mess

Princess of double speak said

Wasn’t her doing what she did

I cried don’t do me like you done

Can’t you see I’m somebody’s kid

I was feeling lonesome and blue so

I called my steady maybe up

She changed her number to

Nine seven six

Guess she’s lonesome and blue too

I tried to catch a falling star

When I missed it hit me on the head

What I call falling star struck

I was crazy before

Now I’m crazy again

I won the fools war

In a game I can’t win

I was crazy before

Now I’m crazy again

I won the fools war

In a game I can’t win

I was crazy before

Now I’m crazy again

I won the fools war

In a game I can’t win
