Make It Known Lyrics by Foxygen

Take the Kids Off Broadway

2012

They can make it known, they can make it hard
Down in the limelight, yeah
Or they can make it known, get you stoned
Down in the streets
Well, you say your woman got a pristine smile
The kind I like but I never saw her (yeah, yeah)
Like why my Daddy used to sit me down
And smack me 'round, guess I'll never know (watch it)
Ooh la, la, ooh, la, la, ooh, la, la-a ooh

What have I done to my son?
Downed by the system
I swiped a credit card
I saw the boys but they didn't even look hard
And somebody out there screams, "He's just a retard"
I saw the boys but they didn't even look hard
Ah-ooh la la, ooh la la, ooo-ooh

Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend?
Now he got muscles, he got muscles, he got
I wanna see his dumb face, so
Take pictures, take pictures when
Blood runs down on the boulevard

She said, "Oh-oh, Why would I want something?
Why would I need someone? But I'm
Willing to change, I'm willing to change
Oh-oh, why would I want something?
Why would I need someone? But I'm
Willing to change, I'm willing to change"
Oh!

I walk around
I watch the children play down on Broadway
But sometimes I think
I can't even take that anymore
When I'm alone I talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices
If there's no voices I just talk to myself
I just talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices
If there's no voices I just talk to myself
But I don't go talk about Jesus anymore

And the strung out ballerinas say, "Hey!
Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend, who’s your?
He give you head, he give you top hat"
In the branches I grab before heading in
The matches, the cocaine clothespin
Can I just hear one good rock 'n roll song
On the radio before
The blood runs down on the boulevard?

Oh-oh, why would I want something?
Why would I need someone? But I'm
Willing to change, I'm willing to change
Oh-oh, why should I want someone?
How can I love someone if I'm not
Willing to change? I'm willing to change

Stop, yeah, stop making love, dear
I guess I'll die here
Waitin' for the light, oh yeah
A new day's comin', children
So don't wake up
I guess I'll stay up, ba-da-da-da
All the night, oh yeah, all night
And waitin' like never before
You know it

La la la la la la la la la...
