You’ve been playing Mama
To every broken soul in town
You say you want to rise up
But the Man will cut you down.
And you’ve been doing your research,
Digging through the underground, now
Something’s got you worried
So when I come around
You start begging me to wake up
And telling me I’m blind
So how come I can see you
Straight up losing your mind?

Now here we are
This Sunday morning at your house
I’ve smoked a little more than I’m used to
And while I melt into the couch
You start begging me to wake up
And telling me I’m blind
So how come I can see you
Straight up losing your mind?

Talk to me Baby,
Untie your tongue, set it free.
Please talk to me, baby,
Just find your words and speak.

Yeah, I know you’ve got this new thing
‘Cos you’ve got a whole new crowd.
You think you’ve got it worked out
But don’t you get too proud,
‘Cos all your friends are losers
And while you’re getting high
You tell me I’m the sheep, not the shepherd
And when I ask you why
You start begging me to wake up
And telling me I’m blind
So how come I can see you
Straight up losing your mind?

Talk to me Baby,
Untie your tongue, set it free.
Please talk to me, baby,
Just find your words and speak.
