“Sweet Emotion”   live performance

                March 4th, 2007

Here’s one about an eight year old rapper who can’t understand why his mother won’t let him leave home and go on tour with a rock and roll band.  Go figure.....

Sweet Emotion, sweet emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares

You wearing other things that nobody wears

You're calling my name but I gotta make clear

I can't say mama where I'll be in a year

Some slimy promoter with really big teeth

Told us our band is beyond belief

He said “climb on the bus and wave to mama”

“Don't tell me about emotional trauma”

Sweet Emotion, sweet emotion

Got picked up in a police car

You told them I strayed a little too far

You keep telling us we’ll never be big

Well you might be right but we got this gig

Standing in front just shaking your head

Trying to tell me it's time for bed

Well maybe it's time you joined the band

Cause a month on the road and I'll be holding your hand

Sweet Emotion, sweet emotion
