My generation like we're O.K.
As long as we got music we can dance all day
...... ............................
Election time is coming!
Come on!
We're O.K.!
As long as we got music we can party all day!
...... you tube, we will rock all day, day, day...
Election time is coming!
Immigration, socialism, capitalism,
Racism, health care, welfare,
Seems that nobody cares.
E-business, corporation, small business, taxation,
Unemployment, education, my generation.
Go to space station,
So when you go .......
You can see all the natives,
As they rebuild the nation.
With fair trade everybody trades!
You trade, I trade and everybody trades!
Chorus:
Election is right around the corner,
Who you're gonna vote for?
We're O.K.!
Election is right around the corner,
What you're gonna fight for?
We're O.K.!
Election is right around the corner,
Who you're gonna vote for?
We're O.K.!
Election time is coming,
Do you wanna peace in the Lord?
Alternative energy or oil in the SUV,
Tell me what you're waiting for,
We're about to have it all!
Birth control, infrastructure,
Agriculture, manufacture,
Hip-hop, emo culture,
Tell me what you think about it!
Technology, you're following the policy
I....................... to stimulate eternally.
Raise our family, my life an my testimony,
The King had a dreaming,
He chose to be the President.
Chorus:
But the kids are:
My generation like we're O.K.
As long as we got music we can dance all day
...... you tube, we will rock all day, day, day...
Election time is coming!
But the kids are:
We're O.K.!
As long as we got music we can party all day!
...... you tube, we will rock all day, day, day...
Election time is coming!
You know what?
What?
Why don't you take some of the stuff I grew up on?
You know what I'm talking about?
Grams was a voodoo priest,
Dad was a preacher,
My uncle was a mason I was raised Christian
My best friend was Islam: Salam Maleikum,
My manager was Jewish,
He talked me about Shalom,
..................... he talked me about The Scripture,
...........................
Saint .....................a revolution,
Napoleon's army got spanked by the.......
Two..............Saint John with a ...........
Did you know that a Haitian was found in Chicago?
If I was President the first thing I would do
Is get my people out of sense.
Chorus:
We're O.K.!
As long as we got music we can party all day!
...... you tube, we will rock all day, day, day...
Election time is coming
I wanna thank you all for coming to see me here!
You could have been anywhere, but you've chosen to come to the Asian Experience to see us.
I go by the name of Wyclef Jean,
Straight from Haiti
And that's my brother Steph at the drums.
