miami beach - garland jeffreys lyrics

i was walkin’ miami beach
i was feelin’ so out of reach
it was not like the european nights
it was not like the broadway lights
they like-a-separate-a-black from a-whites
they like-a-separate-a black from his rights
i was feelin’ so out of touch
i don’t like this place very much

walkin’ down the road in the boilin’ heat
the miami sun in the middle of the street
see a cop with a club and a gun
the man say he no hurt anyone
he lies through his teeth
with a smilin’ face
he cries to the judge and
they close up the case
now ‘ya know this a real and a-true ya’ know
what ya’ gonna feel and do

i was walkin’ down the road in the blistering heat
a bomb explode on a hot concrete
it can happen in a broad daylight
it can happen in the middle of the night
screech and a scream and a pistol shot
it can’t be a dream if it sounds like that
it’s a riot in a liberty city
a race riot such a down right pity
walkin’ down the road one afternoon
feelin’ upset no i’m not immune
let me tell you a story
another painful story

what ya’ think of a world like that
a clicky lickle world like that
what ya’ think of a world like that
a world full a’ dread like that

think!!
