Hercules (studio rerecord) Songtext
von Aaron Neville

All′s in fear is fear itself
Check out your own backyard 'fore you check out someone else
Railroad track in my neighborhood
Ain′t no trains around that part, just ain't no good
Wanna know what's goin′ down
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town?

Jungle rule, can′t be no fool
Might get caught by the hook of a crook, hog-tied for cool
Look out, jay
What you say? What you carryin', brother?
I hope you′re clean, 'cause the man is mean
But don′t come another further

We all know the answer will come out in time
I might even carry some of your load
Right along with mine

Thank you ma'am, mister, please
′Cause I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules


Like a bird on the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure from every side
If you're not gonna help, don't hurt
Just pass me by
No
No, no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no, no

Hercules
I must be Hercules

Jungle rule, can′t be no fool
The Devil is on the loose, no coup
Got your feet in the sand
Got to be down with the cats that′re around
And still got to face the man

Talk about me if you please
But I must be Hercules
Hercules
I must be Hercules

Duckin' rocks, catchin′ stone
Mutin', how can I survive? What′s goin' on?
Beg, steal or borrow
Somehow I′ve got to make it 'til tomorrow

Can't depend on no one else
Comin′ up the hard way, I′ve got to save myself


Must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Talk about me if you please
I must be Hercules
