The Agency Sent Me Lyrics by Bernadette Cooper

Drama According to Bernadette Cooper

0

[Verse 1]
She said, "Hello, lady"
"I'm the neighbor across the hall"
"I want to complain about a boy whose been abused"
I'm sittin' mighty high on my horse
I've got a Cadillac, a government job with benefits
Pick a routine drive-by and knock on the door
[Pre-Chorus]
When I knocked on the door, the lady said that everything's OK
But a pretty black boy with big brown eyes
They cried out to me
[Chorus]
"I was born to be fierce!"
"I was born to be happy!"
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
"Born to be fierce!"
"Born to be happy!"
I was born to be free ("Born to be free!") (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
[Verse 2]
No response to the call
Made my head hang low, made my body shake
Oh, I wish I could take him but that's against policy, hunh
We have a bureaucracy full of red tape
People act like they care, it's just a job, it's all fake
And I'm guilty, it makes me wanna go to the river
And wade in the river
[Pre-Chorus]
When I knocked on the door, the lady said that everything's OK
But a pretty white boy with big blue eyes
They cried out to me, he said
[Chorus]
Fierce! ("Born to be fierce!")
"Born to be happy!"
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
"Born to be fierce!"
"Born to be happy!"
He was born to be free ("Born to be free!") (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
[Post-Chorus]
(The agency sent me) Hey
(The agency sent me) Can't do a damn thing, hunh
Gotta go through the red tape, baby
Hey (The agency sent me) Yes, they did
(The agency sent me)
I gotta go through courts, municipal papers
To help you get out, oh, the situation
[Pre-Chorus]
When I knocked on the door, the lady said that everything's OK
But a pretty Latin boy with black, brown eyes
They cried out to me, he said
[Chorus]
"Born to be fierce!"
"Born to be happy!"
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
I was born to be fierce ("Born to be fierce!") Fierce, fierce, fierce, fierce
("Born to be happy!") Oh, yes
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
Yes ("Born to be fierce!")
Oh! ("Born to be happy!")
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
La, da, la, da ("Born to be fierce!")
La, da ("Born to be happy!")
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
La, da, la, da ("Born to be fierce!")
La, da, doo ("Born to be happy!")
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Lady, would you help me?"
He was born to be fierce ("Born to be fierce!")
He was born to be happy ("Born to be happy!")
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Oh, lady, would you help me? Help me through my misery?"
La, da, la, da ("Born to be fierce!")
La, da, doo ("Born to be happy!")
"Born to be free!" (Are you from the agency?)
"Hey, hey, would you help me?"
