It Takes Too Long
Heidegger in harlem on a sunday afternoon black paint streaming down his face he's trying to equalize the distortion in his room people screaming 'unify your race'
but see it takes so long la da da long i have heard, Martin i want to thank you for pushing my cart along
there's a soap box burning there's a preacher in the street black, left, Christian on the way the preacher's saying Jesus danced to Communist beats remember how he spread the fish and bread around that day but it took too long la da da long i have heard, preacher i want to thank you for pushing my cart along
see, Heidegger collapses in a soul food restaurant the sisters bring him cool lemonade one of 'em reads aloud from a notebook by the plate Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com it says 'i think this poor white boy's about to fade'
see it takes too long la da da long i have heard, preacher i want to thank you for pushing my cart along
now the preacher's wearing boxing gloves the crowd is with him now he's punching out the demons of the state even Malcolm smiles adjusts his tie in the book store window he says 'take me home now, preacher, i can't wait'
history clock don't make no tick-tock it won't tell the time so which watch should be mine? it won't plant the seeds which whisper through the trees and sway on the song that pushes my cart along
