Love's In Need of Love Today Pt. II

lyrics

Part two
Phaedras
Man, that boy taking is off like a space ship
Back home on earth
On the dayshift
There’s a young man wondering where the day went
White man walks in, AK went
Pow pow
On the floor, what now?
Take one look around and the bodies are all brown
Say goodnight
From the right not a sound
That’s hush
Lift thy light by this golden door
But don’t touch
We’re all booked up
There’s no room at the inn for Jesus
Jesus
We love to play god, play Zeus
When you should really get loose
That's true
Build a bridge, call a truce that’s two

Love's in need of love when
We would kill our brother and
Do it like it's nothing too
Look at how we're living
How we treat our women
Shame is that it's nothing new

Part two
Phaedras
Man, that boy taking is off like a space ship
Back home on earth
On the dayshift
There’s a young woman wondering where the day went
When in and out walks the rapist
Been a year but it feels like days since
When you’re wondering where the love and the faith went
She took that boy to trial but he beat both cases
Damn
That’s a shortness of breath
That’s as real as it gets
That’s a knife to the chest
But you already know the rest
She already knows the rest

Love's in need of love when
We would kill our brother and
Do it like it's nothing too
Look at how we're living
How we treat our women
Shame is that it's nothing new
