|
I didn't just pull into town. |
|
This happened right before my eyes. |
|
There's something missing in the sound, |
|
That so used to satisfy. |
|
It may rock, it may roll, but tell me |
|
Whatever happened to your soul? |
|
It's just a murky, jerky groove. |
|
It motivates but it don't move |
|
And all the pimps and funky divas |
|
Crank out their empty testifying |
|
They mixed it all in a bowl but then they |
|
Forgot to add a pinch of soul |
|
Tell me, whatever happened to soul, brother? |
|
Tell me, what did they do with the soul, soul brother? |
|
Tell me, where did they go with the soul, brother? |
|
Can I get a witness? |
|
We're only here to entertain |
|
And just pretend to be in pain |
|
And if you wanna see me get down |
|
Just watch me wave my hands around |
|
It's just a distraction |
|
I'm told, |
|
I use it To hide my total lack of soul |
|
Can't find a little a bit of soul |
|
Cause it's so hip to be a ho |
|
And all the brothers act like crooks |
|
And all the kids in the suburbs write the radio hooks |
|
And if you want to be a star |
|
Just grab your crotch and squeeze it hard |
|
And make your mom and daddy proud |
|
As you dry hump for the crowd |
|
It may be tired and old, but then it's |
|
Your only substitute for soul |
