There used to be a time When i was your slave We used to have a deal But you took and i gave You called me uncivilised You called me untamed I don't want to hear your shit 'cos all of that's changed And it's safe to say
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
There used to be a time When i was your whore You told me i needed you I think we both knew the score Now you're tight with your money And you're tight with your friends I've got two hundred million mouths to feed And you want me to bend I don't think so
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
(shake it baby, shake it, shake it baby) (shake it, shake it, baby)
There used to be a time When i was your slave Now you'd better look behind you You've fucked me enough for one day
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
(shake it baby, shake it, shake it baby)
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
Hear the sirens in a distant part of town Hear the rumble of the freeway dying down Someone calls me but the answer phone's turned down I'm not sleepin' but there's sleepers all around
Hear the TV say the future's gettin' near Everybody lives between their hope and fear I can't tell if anyone is sincere Lock the door and pull the covers up to here
It's dark out there
Footsteps echoing outside the door Tomorrow's paper brings the same news as before No one cares about the truth any more Now the hurricane is racing to the shore
It's dark out there
Other people are in dream land Other people are asleep All the bad things in the world are just outside I'm falling in too deep, I'm tryin' to get some sleep
Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin' to the top The shiek he drove his Cadillac He went a' cruisnin' down the ville The muezzin was a' standing On the radiator grille
CHORUS The shareef don't like it Rock the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy Casbah sound But the Bedouin they brought out The electric camel drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar picking thumb As soon as the shareef Had cleared the square They began to wail
CHORUS
Now over at the temple Oh! They really pack 'em in The in crowd say it's cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction The temple band took five The crowd caught a wiff Of that crazy Casbah jive
CHORUS
The king called up his jet fighters He said you better eaarn your pay Drop your bombs between the minarets Down the Casbah way As soon as the shareef was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare As soon as the shareef was Outta their hair The jet pilots wailed
CHORUS
He thinks it's not kosher Fundamentally he can't take it. You know he really hates it.

Puppet on a string - all that i am Pull a little harder and watch me dance I can't control what i can't understand - for now Everybody wants you to fit with their plans Some want the cynical and some want romance Some want the chemicals to bring on a trance - for now At night i rest, at night i sleep The whole world turns around I pray the lord my soul to keep Until it comes around again
