by K. Bradford
She's such a go go girl
She'll try to run you down
She's got her tough gear on
To rip up this old town
Straps a tank to her back
And puts a mean grin on
Reels right into the streets
To charge up her gang-crowd
Rams right into the Man.
She says
What the hell ya doing here what the hell you doing here
What the hell you doing on my block?
You think you own this little brick and that little brick
and the whole damn block?
This block that block and the next
This town that town and the next
Think you've got the nation in your palm.
What are you little man
But a tool of war?
Take ten steps back, take another
Ten steps back
Take another--
He shrank into a fist
To a tight, limp fist
Held himself up for a fight
A lame, last fight
She sent him back to the wall
To the far, far wall.
It was not her tough gear
Nor her mean, mean grin
Not the tank on her back
Or the gang she was in
What shot the man back
To a mere trophy on the wall
To forever hang over the land
Where he thought he'd owned it all
Was the sole glare of
She's such a go go girl
She'll stare you down
The sole glare of
She'll turn it all upside down
With the sole glare of
Her eye
She's such a go go girl
She'll turn us all around
Such a go go girl
She'll turn the world around.
