lyrics

They claim to have a magic bag
Ya they may have a magic bag
With the promise of a few snags

Cuz they only tell ya
What they want you to hear
Feeding your ears with their fears

So leave your mind behind
Just leave your mind behind
They hope you’ll follow along blind

Where they go, no one knows
Where they go, no one knows
No one knows where they go

CHORUS
But I’m a little vixen
Anticipating action
In search of satisfaction
Seems we need a revolution
Cuz this house of cards
Has lost its guards
Oh it’ fallin’ fast

Jaded by the shade
Ya I’m jaded by the shade
of this raid upon our lives

My mojo’s been sacked
Oh my mojo’s been sacked
By a stab in the back

So I’m heading straight on home
Ya I’m heading straight on home
Heading straight on home to Mama

Cuz Mama knows best
Cuz Mama knows best
Ya Mama, she’ll set the course

CHORUS

We expect the best
We expect the best
But we’re denied, disappointed
If we dare

If the flavor is right
I could go all night
With a plan of what to do,
when & why

But are you ready Jack?
Are you ready to listen?
Oh I’m not so sure about that!

So my voice is all alone,
Ya my voice feels all alone
So come on by, let’s chill & formulate

CHORUS x 2

Gonna bring it straight on back
Gonna bring it straight on back
Bring it straight on back
To where we began
