"Easy Company" lyrics

If the devil's down here in the basement
The vultures are at the front door
Vampires play on the jukebox
I'll meet you out on the floor
Grandfather kuti once told me
"Water get no enemy"
Maybe tonight if I'm graceful
I'll find a second of peace

Doomsday dancing
Sounds like a good plan to me
If you need a hero
Come tomorrow
I'll be everything you need
But tonight I just want easy company

I read the words of the prophets
I learned the language the speak
Paid for the sins of my fathers
I still can't get no relief
I wasn't made for the city
My people come from the heat
We don't just hustle for money
Working so hard to be free

Doomsday dancing
Sounds like a good plan to me
If you need a hero
Come tomorrow
I'll be everything you need
But tonight I just want easy company

Drink another drink
Dance with me 'cause when we get sober
I'll be crying out in the streets 'til the war is over
Drink another drink
Dance with me 'cause when we get sober
I'll be fighting out in the streets 'til the war is over

Doomsday dancing
Sounds like a good plan to me
If you need a hero
Come tomorrow
I'll be everything you need
But tonight I just want easy company

Drink another drink
Dance with me 'cause when we get sober
I'll be crying out in the streets 'til the war is over
Drink another drink
Dance with me 'cause when we get sober
I'll be fighting out in the streets 'til the war is over
