OP unclear, unsourced and confusing = mods please lock

Actually, that was Susannah talking to the "sisters and brothers of the purple underground.." biggrin, but it is Prince's lyrics of course.

And no, I don't think it had anything to do with a message about bootleggers. The dialogue is "sisters and brothers of the purple underground find peace of mind with the pop sound. It seems when we're in danger everything gets black. Don't you wanna ball??"

As Prince wrote in the CB liner notes - he's talking about making love during war time, and based on the words above - also using the music to forget your troubles and fears.
