Oh my my my my, my love
I'm three sheets to the wind
But I'm still to anxious to leave the house
Guess I'm staying in…
Put a record on…
Take me to New Orleans or to Addis or to Memphis
Some place I've never seen
Let the image of another world
Dance in my head
Even if I don't step outside or get 5 feet from the bed
I'm gone…when you put a record on…
Oh my my my my, my love
This town feels like it's closing in
And the whole world feels like it's closed it's arms
And conflict is in the wind…
Put a record on
Gear me up for the fight get me ready for the struggle
Let my might be right
Make me brave enough to rise up
And wise enough to survive
Even if I'm too afraid to shout, or even to speak
I'm strong…when you put a record on…
Make me move like the King
Make me mean like Chuck D
Let their words make me anybody other than me
Give me Miles' cool
Give me Jay Z's wealth
Let me live a little while as someone else
And I'll feel alright
Even If I can't right what's wrong
I'll put a record on
