Hot Gossip Songtext
von The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

I hear you talkin′

Baby, what're you gonna do?
There′s a war goin' on now
And they blame it on you and me
Talk about safety, freedom, democracy
I don't believe ′em

You know what, they want my vote?
They gotta try a little more harder
You can′t talk peace when you're makin′ war
Too much of this hot gossip

Something goin' on
A riot goin′ on
Up to the crack of dawn
I'm goin′ through the door

You gotta get down, right now
Get on up and shut this shit down
It's much more than black and blue
It's death and destruction and how much does it cost?


Burnin′ up the roof, they lyin′ on the truth
They got the dyin' proof, they gotta prove to you
So who the hell is you to tell them what to do?
I′m lyin' back in the pit, watch you have a fit

Your hot gossip, I hear you talkin′ loud
Can you hear me now?
Can't hear you now
You try to sell us out, what is that about?
And try to blow us up

Government, what′s up?
Robbin' people down in dust, got their trust
You say you threw my bust, someone gotta fuss
Hot gossip
We ain't gotta zip it, you ain′t gonna trip
What you comin′ with?
What you comin' with?

I got the blues alright
I feel so bad (bad)
People, we gotta get on up (gotta get up)
And shut this down

′Cause it ain't right and I know I know (when they′re wrong they're wrong)
That there′s something better out there


'Cause, baby, I love you
And see the sky outside open up
And everything turn blue

Come on, got to have it
Hot gossip, blues
What you got to say?
I got the blues, so bad
What is it good for?
All your hot gossip
Give me red white and blues
