Ween – King Billy

• 0
  General Comment:Quite clearly the best contradictory reggae song of our generation. I know my version (a combination of fattydg and savingup's contribs) isn't 100% correct, but there's one important line that makes the song for me: line one of verse 4, when our slightly confused rasta changes his mind about whether King Billy should invite anyone up. Also, words that are swallowed or implied should have some parenthesis.
  
  King Billy, why don't you invite them up?
  I got a word or two to tell them
  (It's) about this situation
  A terrible miscommunication
  
  It involves a child of mine
  Destined to side with the oppression
  King Billy, let me speak to they
  But a bad wire, burn the connection!
  A man, fix the problem
  It is the only solution
  
  King Billy, I see them birds in flight
  Take off in every direction
  I'm a thinking man, a feeling man
  I will not side with the oppression
  
  King Billy, (uh) don't you invite them up
  But aim them in the opposite direction
  A chance at love attraction
  A chance to heal the nation

  Bag-o-wire! Burn the connection!

  other than that you did well on the rest.
  I'm very sure I'm correct.
  great backyard crankfest this ep,
  priceless looks on the neighbors faces!
