Lyrics Challenge Game

With music by our side to break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest to social injustice
A generation full of courage, come forth with me

1960's

I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and makin' haste, just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees, feedin' pigeons on a limb

When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all of the madness has got you going crazy
It's time to get out, step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet
Well, I know a place where we can dance the whole night away
Underneath electric stars
Just come with me and we can shake your blues right away
You'll be doing fine when the music starts

It's a soul's companion
You can feel it everywhere
Lift your hands and voices
Free your mind and join us
You can feel it in the air

Ooh, it's a passion
Ooh, you can feel it in the air
Ooh, it's a passion, ooh

I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it's the truth
You seem to think you're God's gift to this Earth
I'm telling you, no way
You ought to be thankful for the little things
But little things are all you seem to give
You're always putting off what we can do today
Soap opera says, you've got one life to live
Who's right, who's wrong?

1980's

Changing her colors she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fights the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and let live in love

One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned

70s

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of being my deliverance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone

Now you're here, like you've been before
And you know just what I need
