Lyrics James Brown – Goliath
Text:
You many days on the moon
Hidin’ from humanity
With the man
There’s a giant on the loose
He’s gatherin’ up the whole of New York City
In the palm of his hand
He’s got one foot in the west
One foot in the east
Watch out for that monster
He’s a cold corporate beast
Goliath, hey
Will set you free
To go crazy in the 20th Century
Goliath
Will set you free
Goliath
Take a long side
Take that walk
On the money side of the street
Goliath
Dancin’ with the lead
The ground starts to shake
When he starts walkin’
And all the politician listen
When his money start talkin’
When he says stop, we stop
Go, we go, dance, we dance
All the way from London to Tokyo
When he says fast, go fast
All the way from China to Mexico
Do you hear me?
He’s got the big reef far and wide
He’s to the sugar cane, acid rain
He’s got the hi-tech, the OPEC
And the cold war
Maceo wind it up
Maceo hit ’em where it hurts
In the pocket — yeh
The fat rat
Reminds me of Tom and Jerry
Makes me feel insane
And more than that
Fallin’ into ruin
Now stand back when you need me
Let the children play
God gave us the heart to make it right
And walk free in the light of the day
Goliath, ow
Will set you free wow
To go crazy in the 20th Century
Say it now
Goliath
Take a long side
Take that walk
On the money side of the street
Goliath
Will set you free
I want to know
When he says stop, we stop
Go, we go, dance, we dance
All the way from London to Tokyo
Wait a minute
If he says jump, you jump, fall, you fall
Dance, you dance, all the way from kingdom come
To kingdom home
Hey
Goliath
Will set you free
Goliath
You might as well walk
‘Cause I ain’t doin’ the talk
Goliath
I got so mad
Goliath
Stop him
Stop him
Goliath
Stop him
Stop him
Goliath
Stop him
