James Brown

 

It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World

 

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness

 

La chanson dit que nous sommes dans le monde d'un homme (métaphore pour parler d'un monde capitaliste/ monde d'hommes ?) Celui-ci ne serait rien sans une femme ou une fille, l'homme songe à avoir des bébés filles et garçons, les rend heureux parce qu'il en fait des jouets (gens contents d'être des jouets, surprenant), après qu'il a tout fait, tout ce qu'il peut, vous savez que l'homme fait de l'argent afin d'acheter à l'autre homme. Il est perdu dans le désert, il est perdu dans l'amertume. 

La condition humaine dans le monde d'aujourd'hui en somme.

ROCKIN' ROLLIN' STONE
(Starr - Patty)
ANDY STARR (MGM 12263, 1956)

Hey, rock, rock, rock, rock
Hey, rock, rock, rock, rock
I'm just a rockin' rollin' stone
I'm just a rollin' rockin' stone
I'm just a rockin' rollin' stone
I'm just a rollin' rockin' stone
I'm just a rockin' rollin' jumpin' crazy stone

Well, a rollin' stone don't gather no moss, they say
Well, a rollin' stone don't gather no moss, they say
Well, I'll keep a-rollin', you can throw your moss away
I'm just a rockin' rollin' stone
I'm just a rollin' rockin' stone etc.

(Yeah, rock it now! Yeah!)

Well, a rockin' horse just goes nowhere at all
I know a rockin' horse just goes nowhere at all
Well, I'll keep a-rockin' ‘till I tumble, stumble and fall
I learned how to jump from a bean in Mexico
I learned how to jump from a bean in Mexico
I'll keep a-jumpin' it's the craziest thing I know
I'm just a rockin' rollin' stone
I'm just a rollin' rockin' stone etc.

(Yeah, let's go now cats go! Yeah!)

Well, you just can't roll a four by four at all
Well, you just can't roll a four by four at all
I may be square but I love to rock and roll
I'm just a rockin' rollin' stone
I'm just a rollin' rockin' stone etc.
