MC5 - Poison Lyrics






The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But I ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That I learned in France
And they think there ain't
Nothin' to know
Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But I got free
Copped a plea
And I can see
That there ain't no freedom
Bell gonna chime
This time

Truth and love
Are my law and worship
Form and conscience
My manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are
My shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection
Are my attack
False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy, no poison

Nobody's tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it's sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
In status classes

    I love this song!  So well written and relevant even today.

  9. k.... j....

    took that from the Kinks--really got me

    k.... j....

    Not even close.

    k.... j....

    Whut?!? Haha

  10. K.... G....

    Superb song, just great guitar, this band were awesome back in the daze, performance wise, no band could match them, Wayne Kramer's moves were rebellion in motion, some old clips are astounding...A band that will never be forgotten.

    K.... G....

    Seriously like bottling a shooting star

    K.... G....

    Wayne was amazing. He could out dance James Brown WHILE playing guitar. Nobody except maybe Jimmy Page could rock a ruffled shirt like that man.  What a guy!

  11. G.... T....

    heard this...then i went out and put my hair in a mohawk

    G.... T....

    As long as you're not driving a cab and talking to yourself in a mirror, I think you're going to be alright.

  12. S.... T....

    The best doing one of their best

  13. P.... V....

    ¡Enormes!

  14. F.... ....

    It goes back to the 68/69 insanity, that nothing could have come together more and the center had nothing to do but begin disintegrating, especially when a Sinclair goes off to jail.  The American Ruse compilation has the brute versions of some Back In The USA tracks, that their shit kinda parallels the peak years of muscle cars.  At least the last album brought back the whip-ass like in "Poison", major shining moment for Rob Tyner, to help usher out the muscle cars in 1971.  I'll take a red 70 El Camino, a light brown 69 Corvette, a black 70 Challenger, a 68 Cougar, a 69 Olds 442, a 67 Firebird,

    F.... ....

    Olds 442 :)

    F.... ....

    If you listen closely, both Rob and Wayne are singing lead on this. Wayne wrote it.

  15. r.... ....

    High Time is the shit. Kick out the Jams lacks tunes, Back in the USA sounds like it was recorded in a biscuit tin. High Time is a fucking juggernaut of a record. 

  16. j.... r....

    amazing piece - I'm left shocked - thats the music

  17. s.... ....

    I like this song way more now that I've read the lyrics..

  18. H.... ....

    Um...They sound like KISS only if you can't tell one hard rock band from another. Do Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Alice Cooper sound like KISS to you? Do Yes sound like KISS to you?

  19. M.... C....

    Some people, honestly.

  20. D.... ....

    why does this sound exactly like KISS?

    D.... ....

    You have stupid ears and your mind is deaf.

    D.... ....

    LOL Fuck kiss

    D.... ....

    Jean-Jacques Dauben I thought that was a weird comment, too, but in certain parts, the singing reminds me of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons

    D.... ....

    MC5 came first. Please read some music history.

    D.... ....

    Kiss wish they were this good

  21. e.... ....

    OK, this isn't the band at their peak. But it still cuffs 90% of what's out there right now.

    e.... ....

    ezandycle5 - Disagree totally! Each record got better and better. This LP got heavy airplay on FM radio. The band was mismanaged and mishandled by their record companies throughout their existence. They should have got Peter Grant or some other bad MF to clear out the BS.
