King Heroin (Single Version)
作词：Charles Fred Bobbitt, James Brown, Dave Matthews, Manny Rosen
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Americans, lady Americans
This is James Brown
I wanna talk to you about one of our most deadly killers in the country today
I had a dream the other night
And I was sittin' in my living room
Just dozed off to sleep so I started dreamin'
I dreamed, I walked in a place
And I saw a real strange, weird object
Standin' up talkin' to the people
And I found out that it was Heroin
That deadly drug that go in your vein
He said, 'I came to this country without a passport
Ever since then, I've been hunted and sought
My little white grains are nothin' but waste
Soft and deadly and bitter to taste
I'm a world of power and all know it's true
Use me once and you'll know it, too'
'I can make a mere schoolboy forget his books
I can make a world-famous beauty neglect her looks
I can make a good man forsake his wife
Send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life'
'I can make a man forsake his country and flag
Make a girl sell her body for a five-dollar bag
Some think my adventure's a joy and a thrill
But I'll put a gun in your hand and make you kill'
'In cellophane bags I've found my way
To heads of state to children at play
I'm financed in China, ran in Japan
I'm respected in Turkey and I'm legal in Siam'
'I take my addicts and make them steal, borrow, beg

Then they search for a vein in their arm or their leg
So, be you Italian, Jewish, Black or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex'
'So now, so now my man, you must, you know, you do your best
To keep up your habit until your arrest
Now the police have taken you from under my wing
Do you think they dare defy me, I, who am king?'
'Now, you must lie in that county jail
Where I can't get to you by a visit or mail
So squirm with discomfort, wiggle and cough
Six days of madness and you might throw me off'
'Curse me in name, defy me in speech
But you'd pick me up right now if I were in your reach
All through your sentence you've become resolved to your fate
Hear now, young man and woman, I'll be waitin' at the gate'
'And don't be afraid, don't run, I'm not chased
Sure my name is Heroin, you'll be back for a taste'
Behold, you're hooked
Your foot is in the stirrup
And make haste, mount the steed
And ride him well
For the white horse of heroin
Will ride you to hell, to hell
Will ride you to hell, until you are dead
Dead, brother, dead
This is a revolution of the mind
Get your mind together
And get away from drugs
That's the man!
