Slow Bus Movin' Lyrics - Fishbone

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

X and king was on a march for power true 

Black power that is, panther's and their attitudes 

Were fresh new business suits, yes, yeah, yeah 

Stricken with determination to rise above the slave 

The mayo men used firehoses 

To spray the monkeys back in their cages 

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 come to the front 

People gettin' hostile wanna 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 tables are turned 

When your cream coated daughter will be my wife
