TAKE IT DOWNTOWN blues lyrics
by Joel Sattler

no use in crying
no use in line gonna take it downtown

no hesitating
no use to wait gonna take it downtown

no masquerading
let's go parading - downtown

smoke if you gottem
bring Johnny Rotten bring him downtown

fake while you can
take what you can won't you take it downtown

time is a wasting
put on your face and won't you take it downtown

put on your sneakers
turn up the speakers and cruising downtown

sirens are singing
king kong is king in, king in downtown

fresh as a daisy
baby you're crazy let's go downtown

that's where it's hot,
give a shot, shoot it downtown

ready aim fire
make me a liar, take it downtown

tell me you miss me
haul off and kiss me, kiss me downtown

I saw it on TV
and I could not believe
I could not believe
a single thing I saw

I heard on the news
and I was not amused
I was not amused
at the way they sung the blues

I felt it in the air
I couldn't tell just where
I couldn't tell just where
I didn't even care

somebody make them stop
I'm gonna blow my top
I'm gonna blow my top
I'm gonna chop it off

bridge:
deep in the heart of the city
the shadows move in silence
red as red as sunset
blood as bloody violence

take what I give you
take all I live you take it downtown

I'll give you money
just isn't funny when you take it downtown

thought I was dreaming
but I was screaming screaming downtown

do what you wanna
do what you gonna gonna take it downtown

I saw so many lyrical references to other songs in this stream of consciousness tirade about taking it, "downtown." Also reminds me of the pop hit, Downtown.
