A Vera Takes A Ride

We use to ride emus and dolphins We now have feathers over our bodys You in black and me in red Inside a yellow man’s dream. Start us up we’ll never stop Gonna pump up your sense Gonna rub in the juice. Is it any black wonder Is it any white wonder Trouble and strife making love They fuss crazies and screaming Neighbours unto strangers. We used to ride emus and dolphins You’ve wrecked our living Washing up, drinking, dancing In engaging struggle, at didgeridoo, groaning and straining. You made a grown race cry You made a grown hate tearer Some are lazy slobs Some are marrying speed Now mean mean machine Open your heart starter. We shine out in the sun We living scared in being shined You gotta feel to love Shock dem, sink dem. We are brothers in our own Adolescence maybe cold running You know chain and reality Now quotes of conversations Come once on a noise breeze Like echoes in the name of Guerrillas in another range. We ride the emu fast We speak to dolphins for us to ride When we win the ministry Don’t come wondering about. We used to sing martyrs to the harvest Of the leaving fruit Just circulate passion surrendered In our consolation of action Ride dat dolphins and emus faster.
