Sixto Rodriguez - Hate Street Dialogue

Woman please be gone You've stayed here much too long Don't you wish that you could cry Don't you wish I would die. Seamy, seesaw kids Childwoman on the skids The dust will choke you blind The lust will choke your mind. I kiss the floor, one kick no more The pig and hose have set me free I've tasted hate street's hanging tree I've tasted hate street's hanging tree. Instrumental I kiss the floor, one kick no more The pig and hose have set me free I've tasted hate street's hanging tree I've tasted hate street's hanging tree. The inner city birthed me The local pusher nursed me Cousins make it in the street They marry every trick they meet. A dime, a dollar they're all the same When a man comes in to bust your game The turn key comes, his face a grin Locks the cell I'm in again. I kiss the floor, one kick no more The pig and hose have set me free I've tasted hate street's hanging tree I've tasted hate street's hanging tree I've tasted hate street's hanging tree I've tasted hate street's hanging tree...
