Mau Mau (Amerikon)

By Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Joey Covington
 Put your old ladies back into bed
 Your old men back into their graves
 Cover their ears so they can't hear us sing
 Cover their eyes so that can't see us play
 Get out of the way
 Let the people play
 We're gonna get down on you
 Come alive all over you
 Dancin' down into your town
 Tyrannosaurus Rex was destroyed before
 By a furry little ball that crawled along
 The primeval jungle floor
 And he stole the eggs of the dinosaur
 CLOSE YOUR EYES & CREATE THE SOUND
 OPEN YOUR HANDS & REBUILD THE GROUND
 We are egg snatchers -
 Flashin' sunshine children
 Diamond thieves
 You unlease the dogs
 Of a grade-B movie star governor's war
 While you sit in the dark -
 Insane with the fear of dying
 We'll ball in your parks
 - insane with the flash of living
 I AM ALIVE
 I AM HUMAN
 I WILL BE ALIVE AGAIN
 So drop your fuckin' bombs
 Burn your demon babies
 I WILL BE AGAIN -
 The rabid lover-feelin' the starch in your grin
 Callin' for acid cocaine and grass
 And receiving your homemade gin
 PUSH THE BUTTON
 PULL THE SWITCH
 CUT THE BEAM
 C'MON MAKE IT MARCH
 Sign me up as a diplomat - my only office is the park
 You need to be out before you come in
 And after you come you go
 In the midst of Yang is a smaller part of Yin
 And when it happens you know -
 THE DAWN COMES
 HEY DICK
 Whatever you think of us is totally irrelevant
 Both to us now and to you
 We are the present
 We are the future
 You are the past
 Pay your dues and get outta the way
 'Cause we're not the way you used to be
 When you were very young
 We're something new
 We don't quite know what it is
 Or particularly care
 We just do it - You gotta do it
 Open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'
 Open your eyes there's a new world today
 Open your hearts people are lovin'
 Open it all we're here to stay
 OPEN THAT DOOR
