Going back to playing vinyl forty fives
Singing "doo wop" on every street corner
Cigarette rolled sleeve or muscle shirt
That was the fifties
Moving forward to a changing time
Where music and politics
Did not rhyme
Motown Afros and Dashikis
Marching in time
To a new culture
Rhythm spitting out anger
Loud
Janis Joplin singing Mercedes Benz
Sounds change with the flow of time
Poetry's energy writing songs
Revolutionary
A slamming reflection
I can't get no satisfaction
And the beat goes on
