Work with one another Not against each other Work with one another Not against each other I've come to the conclusion There's only one solution Work with one another Not against each other What’s the situation? There's too much aggravation So much disillusion We want retribution Work with one another Not against each other Work with one another Not against each other Work, work, work, work, work, work Work with one another Not against each other Work with one another Not against each other People have the power In their darkest hour Work with one another Not against each other Children in the street Are marching to the beat They're gonna have to shout And turn it inside out The world is gonna know What it's all about What it's all about What it's all about Work with one another (Sister!) Not against each other (Brother!) Work with one another (Sister!) Not against each other (Brother!) Work with one another (Sister!) Not against each other (Brother!) Work with one another (Sister!) Not against each other (Brother!)

There ain't no use to pretend This world has come to an end We're livin' a nightmare And this world is condemned I'll see you if this nightmare ever ends Things are not what they seem Wake me up from this bad dream ‘Cause we're livin' a nightmare And this world is condemned I'll see you if this nightmare ever ends Nightmare, screamin’ and cryin’ Nightmare, there ain't no denyin’ Nightmare, like never before Nightmare, I can't take anymore It's getting darker everyday, no no Please make this nightmare go away ‘Cause we're livin’ a nightmare And this world is condemned I'll see you if this nightmare ever ends We're livin' a nightmare We're livin' a nightmare I'll see you if this nightmare ever ends We're livin' a nightmare We're livin' a nightmare I'll see you if this nightmare ever ends

The time has come to sing a song about what's going on I don't know what day it is but I know I’m alone Livin' hand to mouth and shufflin' the beat Keep your eyes open and an ear down to the street ‘Cause meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie I'm just rockin’ my boogie Rockin’ my boogie everyday The minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days But it don't make no difference ‘cause I’ll never change my ways I don't care about the future and I ain’t hung up in the past I’m livin' everyday like it’s gonna be my last Meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie I'm just rockin’ my boogie Rockin’ my boogie everyday (Oh, rock your boogie, boy!) (Go, go, go!) Everybody’s screamin' and runnin' around They say that the sky is falling and we've got to get down Well listen to me people, don't you hang your head and cry No matter what you do you ain't never satisfied ‘Cause meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile, I'm just rockin' my boogie From New York to St. Louie I'm rockin' my boogie everyday Meanwhile Meanwhile I said meanwhile Meanwhile

You know I've been through a war of roses And I learned a thing or two There ain't much to change some cold, cold hearts ‘Til your days are through And I don't need to be forgiven ‘Cause I know love always comes with a price When she broke my heart but she never broke my soul Because I’ve been a fool once and it won't happen twice You know I gave her pearls and diamonds She just threw me rocks When I lost my tired old shoes She went and stole my socks And she don't need to be forgiven She better know love comes with a price When she broke my heart but she never broke my soul Because I’ve been a fool once and it won't happen twice Gotta move on Gotta get gone Gotta move on Because I’ve been a fool once and it won't happen twice (Alright!) And I don't need to be forgiven ‘Cause I know love always comes with a price When she broke my heart but she never broke my soul Because I’ve been a fool once Been a fool once I said I’ve been a fool once and it won't happen twice

Star 03:50
Miles away in the sky You light the way every night Someday I'll join you way up high Then we'll be stars together, just you and I ‘Cause all you are is a star for me All you are is a star for me Saw your face on my TV screen I read all about you in a magazine And then I heard that song on my radio And now it follows me everywhere I go ‘Cause all you are is a star for me All you are is a star for me I said all you are is a star for me All you are is a star for me Miles away in the sky You light the way every night Someday I'll join you in the bye and bye Then we'll be stars together ‘til the end of time ‘Cause all you are is a star for me All you are is a star for me I said all you are is a star for me All you are is a star for me Shine on Way up high in the sky Like a diamond ‘Til the end of all time

Feelin' mighty, coastin' on your name One day you shall see the worth there is to fame When, someday baby, you gonna die too Someday baby, you gonna die too The walls are crumbling, the truth is comin' down How will it feel when you're a king without a crown When, someday baby, you gonna die too Someday baby, you gonna die Someday baby, you gonna die Someday baby, you gonna die too Our land is burning, the coffers running low Our homes are ravaged and there's nowhere we can go They plot our murder, push our backs against the wall We'll finally get together when nothing matters at all When, someday baby, we gonna die too Someday baby, we gonna die Someday baby, we gonna die Someday baby, we gonna die too

Silver Satin 03:15

about

DADDY LONG LEGS, New York City's most diabolical Rhythm & Blues street gang, have announced their eagerly anticipated new album Street Sermons, to be released on March 17th via Yep Roc Records.

The band's fourth studio album represents a wellspring of bottled-up feelings and emotions that need to be taken to the streets. Produced by Oakley Munson of the Black Lips at Old Soul Studios in Catskill, NY the band expands upon a sound that’s all their own and features guest appearances from Punk Rock legend Wreckless Eric providing backing vocals on "Nightmare" and "Silver Satin" and The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian on "Ding-Ding Man," In dark times DADDY LONG LEGS continue to shine their light everywhere they go, leaving a piece of themselves on stage every night because it’s in them and it’s got to come out.

Over the last decade these gentlemen have burned down houses the world over with their explosive fire ceremony and have amassed a cult-like following all their own with a tough to beat reputation for being one of the finest live acts on the road today. Written and recorded against a backdrop of political tension, riots in the streets and a deeply uncertain future, Street Sermons is a testament to triumph over adversity.
