apa wants no music

Papa don't want no music (x3)
No, no, no, no

(X2)

Woke up this morning

Head in a spin
Is this a blessing?
Is it a sin?

This energy I have
Can't keep my feet from moving
This melody I've found

Is it my mind I'm loosing?
The heat is rising
The tension building

I need someone to help me
Before it explodes around me
I need to control

This aching feeling
I need some damage control
To start the healing, because


Papa don't want no music (x3)
No, no, no, no

(x4)

He sits me down

He talks to me
He takes me back
To fifty-three

See, he remembers
The music raw
When souls were set free

And spirits soared
Now you want money
And he can't understand it

Say he prefer his silence
To all the threat and violence
We got to look good

'What about feeling good?', he says
'Mr Brown would be ashamed
Of you and I', and that's why


Papa don't want no music (x3)
No, no, no, no

(x4)
