David Bowie, "Young Americans"
Misheard Lyrics:
Lack of respect, and why got the Coltrane?
Mama Scott's crimson, look what the hands say
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got it sweet and you got the beat
Gimme a man that can take no more
Hit every woman like a sock on the jaw.
Mama Scott's crimson, look what the hands say
I heard the news today, oh boy
I got it sweet and you got the beat
Gimme a man that can take no more
Hit every woman like a sock on the jaw.
Original Lyrics:
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
