Chick-a-Boom - Joe Bataan

Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

This is a holdup, everybody on the ground

Put your hands behind your head, don’t make a sound

This old system been keeping us down, down, down

Now me and my friends think it’s time to turn this mess around

We all know this ain’t what you expected

We know this must come as a surprise

Imagine how it feels to be rejected, scorned and scoffed at

Imagine how it feels to be despised

Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

Too much money in too few hands

We’ll be on our way once you meet our small demands

So come on, people, do as I say

You may just live to see a better day

Everybody on the ground

We’re gonna pass this bag around

Fill it up with what you got

Fill it up with what you got

Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

Too much money in too few hands

We’ll be on our way once you meet our small demands

Treat us like people, respect us as equal

Fewer excuses, we don’t need to prove it

You’ll find out what we’ve known all along

By trying to keep us down, you’ve made us strong

Boom boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom boom boom

This is a holdup, everybody on the ground

Put your hands behind your head, don’t make a sound

Come on, people, do as I say

You may just get to see a better day

Everybody on the ground

We’re gonna pass this bag around

Fill it up with what you got

Fill it up with what you got
