Ladies and gentlemen |
| [00:05.02] |
Fellow Americans, lady Americans |
| [00:10.00] |
This is James Brown |
| [00:12.33] |
I wanna talk to you about one of our |
| [00:14.54] |
Most deadly killers in the country today |
| [00:21.49] |
I had a dream the other night, and I |
| [00:23.31] |
Was sittin' in my living room |
| [00:26.03] |
Dozed off to sleep |
| [00:26.96] |
So I start to dreamin' |
| [00:28.64] |
I dreamed I walked in a place and |
| [00:30.98] |
I saw a real strange, weird object |
| [00:32.95] |
Standin' up talkin' to the people |
| [00:34.32] |
And I found out it was heroin |
| [00:37.00] |
That deadly drug that go in your veins |
| [00:38.72] |
He says: |
| [00:40.64] |
I came to this country without a passport |
| [00:44.05] |
Ever since then I've been hunted and sought |
| [00:48.16] |
My little white grains are nothin' but waste |
| [00:51.46] |
Soft and deadly and bitter to taste |
| [00:55.68] |
I'm a world of power and all know it's true |
| [01:00.05] |
Use me once and you'll know it, too |
| [01:04.06] |
I can make a mere schoolboy forget his books |
| [01:07.50] |
I can make a world-famous beauty neglect her looks |
| [01:12.03] |
I can make a good man forsake his wife |
| [01:14.06] |
Send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life |
| [01:18.42] |
I can make a man forsake his country and flag |
| [01:22.42] |
Make a girl sell her body for a five-dollar bag |
| [01:26.41] |
Some think my adventure's a joy and a thriller |
| [01:28.78] |
But I'll put a gun in your hand and make you a killer |
| [01:32.48] |
In cellophane bags I've found my way |
| [01:34.58] |
To heads of state, to children at play |
| [01:37.45] |
I'm financed in China, ran in Japan |
| [01:40.02] |
I'm respected in Turkey and I'm legal in Siam |
| [01:44.02] |
I take my addicts and make 'em steal, borrow, beg |
| [01:47.95] |
Then they search for a vein in their arm or their leg |
| [01:53.99] |
So, be you Italian, Jewish, Black or Mex |
| [02:00.44] |
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex |
| [02:05.14] |
So now, now, my man, you must (you know) do your best |
| [02:09.64] |
To keep up your habit until your arrest |
| [02:14.06] |
Now the police have taken you from under my wing |
| [02:19.99] |
Do you think they dare defy me, I who am king? |
| [02:24.50] |
Now, you must lie in that county jail |
| [02:28.56] |
Where I can't get to you by visit or mail |
| [02:32.18] |
So squirm -- with discomfort -- wiggle and cough (hack!) |
| [02:36.91] |
Six days of madness, hah, and you might throw me off |
| [02:42.70] |
Curse me in name! Defy me in speech! |
| [02:45.64] |
But you'd pick me up right now if I were in your reach |
| [02:49.39] |
All through your sentence you've become resolved to your fate |
| [02:52.91] |
Hear now! Young man and woman, I'll be waitin' at the gate |
| [02:57.43] |
Don't be afraid, don't run! I'm not chased |
| [03:00.50] |
Sure my name is Heroin! You'll be back for a taste |
| [03:04.68] |
Behold, you're hooked! |
| [03:07.65] |
Your foot is in the stirrup |
| [03:09.55] |
And make -- haste! |
| [03:12.19] |
Mount the steed! |
| [03:14.03] |
And ride him well |
| [03:17.54] |
For the white horse of heroin |
| [03:20.20] |
Will ride you to Hell! |
| [03:24.08] |
To Hell! |
| [03:26.46] |
Will ride you to Hell! |
| [03:29.80] |
Until you are dead! |
| [03:37.12] |
Dead, brother! Dead! |
| [03:40.91] |
This is a revolution of the mind |
| [03:43.82] |
Get your mind together |
| [03:45.00] |
And get away from drugs! |
| [03:48.15] |
That's the man! |
| [03:52.01] |
Back! Back |
| [03:54.78] |
|
