Modern Day Folk
Urthboy

[Verse 1]nWe the modern day folk singers, even ifnthe old folk singers think we're just dope slingersnOde to the idiom and the flow gideonnMy ear a melody net yet there's no singing emnSome are not kidding they're puzzled at how we talknI tell it's not talk, like cheese and chalknAnd we walk without fear in the ground we treadnAnd it's flawed cos you're hearing all the thoughts goin round my headnWhere paradox and respect wednAnd I work to my catalogue not my nest eggnAnd the wordplay is direct and unashamednTaken in all the frame with a ridiculous namenSo many of us made a claimnSome soared so highnPlenty fell off like a shot down planenThe wind blowing your bridge over troubled waters downnBut don't worry we'll sort it outnn[Chorus]nAnd You've got to be engagednYou're not just listening to your matesnWe're trying to save the worldnA brave new world, I love that bitter tastenAnd you've got to be engagednIt's not a grudge match every daynIt's just life in all it's phasesnCos no folk song ever saved usnn[Verse 2]nLike A Tribe Called Quest said, it's all expectednThings will get hectic, change is a threat like when Dylan went electricnCos we all affected, directed, defectednIn puffy chested but then out dejectednNo massage for every bad backnIt isn't Hollywood, it's just Mad MaxnIt isn't the serum to get rid of your anthraxnNo Mother Teresa it's just the beat of a damn tracknI don't really care for half of these MCsnBut some of them are like the path of a set-piecenAll of it and more we can't let you get sleepnNo relationship was started on a wet dreamnSo we knock down doors and we rock our jawsnAnd we don't turn our back if it's not our causenStand and stare upward form the ground floornGet up, what you down for?nn[Chorus] {X2}nn[Verse 3]nIt's really not that profound, the way a phrasenknocks you down to others it's nothing more than a backgroundnSome are weak at the knees at that soundnI rewind the song and sit down nownConstantly flip between the FM stationsnThe jocks spruik the next sensationsnBut I don't care about the next sensationsnI'm sorry if I left you waiting
