I wanted a MC5 powerhouse tune to almost sound like black control/revolt. Little did I know Barrack Obama would become 'The Man' later on. Not that it's a song against him, or for him. It still resides as a cautionary message entwined within the state of the nation and/or the world.

"Get Down (You Got To)" - c2004 Steven West


You got to get down
Take it to the streets
You got to get down
With everyone you meet
You got to get down
Take it to the top
You got to get down
And never let it drop

You got to get down

You got to get down
Acting like a terrorist
You get down
And never let it rest
You got to get down
Intensify the fear
You got to get down
In the rear with the gear
Yeah, you get down

You got to get down

(Chorus)
Don't let it get away from you
And never let it change
F*** it like a lover
And you cover the full range

You know it's yours, and yours alone
No matter who's the leader
Don't get distracted by legislations
Overpaid useless cheaters

You got to get down
And take it to the bank
You got to get down
Empty out the tank
You got to get down
Open all the dams
You got to get down
Blow up Buckingham

Yeah, you get down
You trippy useless hippies
Got to get down
Your not safe in any city
Yeah, you get down
And wait for it to clear
You got to get down
The end is always near

(Chorus)
You know it's yours, and yours alone
No matter who's the leader
Don't get distracted by legislations
Overpaid useless cheaters

You got to get down
The war is always on
You got to get down
The innocence is gone
You got to get down
And make everybody pay
You get down
Attacking everyday

You got to get down
Baby, baby, baby
Yeah, you get down
Doing New York City
You got to get down
We're all in it together
Yeah, you get down
Just talk about the weather

(You got to get down)
All the smoke is second hand
(You got to get down)
And no one understands
(You got to get down)
Sacrificing childern's fun
(You got to get down)
And teach them with a gun

You got to get down.
You got to, got to, got to
Got to get down
Make it baby, break it.
Get down.
Got to, got to get down
Gots to get down,

You got to get down.
