He's as talented as both of those artist in my eyes but in his own way. Period! I think Prince was trying to write thought provoking lyrics, but ended up on the short end. See, when he wants to write simply, he can. When he wants to write complex...depending on the subject, he can...very well in fact. And he is one of the few that can do both at the same time. I find that Sign o the times wasn't that political...just observant. He does that best. Politics though just are not his strong suit. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Prince - United States Of Division
2004 still at war and everybody hates americans Flyin in Aeroplane with pen in hand. Over miles and miles of deep blue. Wonderin if it was all part of a master plan. Forget the 1 and become 2. How could you brother hear the same music. Music music music music? Yet somehow dance to a different tune. I guess once you go divide this precious land. This precious land will divide you. Chorus: Do do do do do doo doo doo Do di da do do doo doo doo Everybody stop fighting Do do do do do doo doo doo Do di da do do doo doo doo Everybody make love. Drivin a brand new cadillac through my neighborhood Everythang still looked the same. Uh. Everythang except the fact i wish i could Take away all the hurt and pain We let super fly straighten up are curly hair It took the afro out the game. It's kinda cool. but the guns and drugs too much to bear 10 years later scarface came. (In the back ground: "Who do you think your messin with?") Sing the hook Chorus: Do do do do do doo doo doo Do di da do do doo doo doo Everybody stop fighting Do do do do do doo doo doo Do di da do do doo doo doo Everybody make love. Bridge The united state of mind will never be divided The real definition of unity is one. People can slam their door disagre and fight it. But how you gonna love the father then not love the son? United States of division. Walkin down the street no flag in hand. No stars and stripes. No claim too land. No cresent moon. Just a holy man holy man. How far from heaven must we go before The winds of change will blow and show This world how it's supposed to be. Land of peace and harmony Everybody stop fighting Everybody make love. United States of division. (Guitar solo interlude) People can slam their door disagree and fight it. But how you gonna love the father then not love the son. United States of division. Black. division White. division Straight. division Gay. division Christian. division Muslim. Aahhhhh. Boom! Why must I sing god bless america and not the rest of the world Oh say can you see. I love my country but love god more If you man woman boy or girl. Whaoaaahhh. Can you sing with me? Chorus: Do do do do do doo doo doo Come on! Everybody! Do di da do do doo doo doo Oh! Everybody stop fighting Put your gun down. Do do do do do doo doo doo Hey! Do di da do do doo doo doo Everybody gather round. Gather round. Everybody make love. Eh hey hey! Do di da do do doo doo doo Oww! Talk to me. Do di da do do doo doo doo What is this rush to declare war Everybody stop fighting What we fightin for? Do do do do do doo doo doo Hey! Oh! Do di da do do doo doo doo Come here baby. Everybody make love. Talkin to the United States United States United States of division. Everybody make music. Everybody make love.

U know u guys have to stop taking yourself sooo seriously! The lyrics are pretty straight foward, the music is incredible, and just try to get that chorus out of your head! It reminds me of something Eminem said once in a rap referring to his lyrical skill
"You not even impress no more, you use to it" and it is so true. It amazes me when Prince turns a bland utterrance like do do do do-do-do into lyrical meat, just as he did on It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night, and particularly at the end of Purple Rain-UHH,UHH,UHH-OHH! And last but not least it always suprises me how Prince can have you bobbing you head to a song with such a serious message over such a funky beat, that's a hard trick to turn in itself 1 over Jordan...the greatest since |
