Mixed Up Moods Songtext
von Jacob Miller

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

See, ah-ha-ha
Say, waa-ha-ha
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Try fi show I, say
Your way is the right way, no now
Seek His Majesty way
That′s right

The way of His Majesty
Is the only way for black people
Nations shall rise over nations
(Culture, culture)

Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work, yeah


The work is wonderful
Plenty of we here to feed
Show the children how wonderful this used to be
Nice up the dance, the children got to love
Don't you teach them your ism and schim
Schism, rism, 'cause I say now, now

Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work
Won′t work, won't work, won′t work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work, won′t work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work

Oh, His Majesty, oh, Selassie I
You are the creator, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright now
Uh

False leaders rise every day (creation)
Trying to show I all their evil ways, uh
Prophecy don't say, yeah
That they will love their day
But they must, must make a way

Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work, yes, yes
Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work, won't work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work
Won't work, won′t work, won't work, work


Play that music, play that music,
Mr. Music Man, Mr. Music Man
Play your music for me.
(.)

Show me the way, and I will follow
Follow the leaders all over the world
Yeah now, yeah now
Leaders like Malcolm X
They know the black struggle
Marcus Garvey did prophecy, I say, I say

Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work, won't work
Mixed up moods and attitude, won't work, no it won′t
Mixed up moods and attitude, won′t work, won't work
Mixed up moods and attitude
Won′t you hear I say, won't you hear I say, ′cause
Mixed up moods and attitude, yes, don't work
It don′t work, it don't work.
