Original Wrapper
Lyricist:Lou Reed
The original wrapper
I was sittin' home on the West End Watchin' cable TV with a TV friend We were watchin' the news, the world's in a mess The poor and the hungry, a world in distress
Herpes, AIDS, the Middle East at full throttle Better check that sausage, before you put it in the waffle And while you're at it, check what's in the batter Make sure that candy's in the original wrapper
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter Make sure that candy's in the original wrapper
Hey, pitcher, better check the batter Make powder in the original wrapper
White against white, black against Jew, it seems like it's 1942 The baby sits in front of MTV watching violent fantasies While dad guzzles beer with his favorite sport Then he finds his heroes are all coked up
Classic, original, the same old story The politics of hate in a new surrounding Hate if it's good and hate if it's bad Don't make you mad
I'll keep yours baby I'll keep mine Theres nothing sacred and nothing divine Father, hit me, we're goin' full throttle Check that sausage, before you put it in the waffle
While you're at it and while you're at it And while you're at it Make sure of the batter Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Make sure the candy's in the original wrapper
I was born in the United States And I grew up hard but I grew up straight I saw a lack of morals and a lack of concern A feeling that there's nowhere to turn
Yippies, hippies and upwardly mobile yuppies Don't treat me like I'm some dumb lackey 'Cause the murderer lives while the victims die I'd much rather see it an eye for an eye
A heart for a heart and a brain for a brain And if this all makes you feel insane Kick up your heels, turn the music up loud Pick up your guitar and look out at the crowd
And say, 'Don't mean to come on sanctimonious But life's got me nervous and little pugnacious Lugubrious so I give a salutation and rock on out to beat really stupid Ohh, poop, ah, doo and how do you do Gonna hit hop, gonna pop till drop'
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter Make sure that candy's in the original wrapper
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter Make sure that candy's in the original wrapper
Hey now pitcher, better check that batter Make sure that candy's in the original wrapper
The original wrapper
