DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Please Don't

[Vocal by Santigold]



The world-is full-of in-tolerance

Greed-injustice-and dominance

A woman-a woman knows-knows relationships

And that's why-why I make-make my little trips



So if-there's a problem

It's really better this way

I don't need-the president

I'll get my little bag and say:



Please don't!-don't let them look down on us

Please don't!-like they used to do to me-



Nixon-Castro-Zhou Enlai

Qaddafi-is easy-and I'll tell you why

A woman knows-just how to do-only rub his leg

He understood-my point of view-so I don't have to beg



So if-there's a problem

It's really better this way

I don't need-the president

I'll get my little bag and say:



Please don't!-don't let them look down on us

Please don't!-like they used to do to me-



Ronald Reagan-Mao Zedong-they're all the same

Kissinger-Anwar Sadat-let me explain

Talk a bit-a little dance-champagne on ice

An hour or two-relationship-we're friends for life!



Please don't!-don't let them look down on us

Please don't!-like they used to do to me-
