Make It Known

I can make it known, I can make it hard, down in the limelight, yeah
Or they can make it known, get you stoned down in the streets
Well you say your woman got a pristine smile, the kind I like
But I never saw it, yeah, yeah
Like why my daddy used to sit me down
And smack me round, cause I’ll never know
U-la-la, u-la-la, u-la-la
What have I done to my son, God, down by the system,
I swiped a credit card, I stumbled on words but they didn’t even look hard,
And somebody out there screamed, "He’s just retard!"
Someone whispered but they didn’t even look hard
U-la-la, u-la-la, u-la-la

Whoa, who’s your boyfriend, who’s your boyfriend, who’s your?
Ah, he goes to, he goes to, he goes
I wanna see his dumb face, oh
Take pictures, take pictures
When blood runs down on the boulevard
He said, oh, oh, why would I want something with her
Why would I need someone but I’m
Willing to change, I'm willing to change
Oh, oh, why what I want something with her
Why would I need someone but I’m
Willing to change, I’m willing to change, oh

I walk around, I watch the children play down on broadway
But sometimes I think, I can’t even take that anymore

Like when I walk, wanna talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices if there’s
No voices I just talk to myself all alone
I just talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices if there’s
No voices I just talk to myself
But I don’t go talk about Jesus anymore

Well, the strung-out ballerinas say, hey
Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend, who’s your
Go ahead, give you top hat
In the brunch I start forgetting
Put the ash on the cocaine coaster
Or just be a bud, go on outside, to the radio, oh, the
Blood runs down on the boulevard

Oh, oh, why would I want something with her
Why would I need someone if I’m
Willing to change, I'm willing to change
Oh, oh, why should I want something with her
How could I love someone if I'm not
Willing to change, willing to change, oh

Stop, yeah, stop

Making love dear, I guess I’ll die here waiting for life, ah, yeah
A new day’s coming children, so don’t wake up
I guess I'll stay up bah da da da da all night, waiting like never before
