Easy Company Lyrics by Joy Oladokun
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
Ooh, so easy
I read the words of the prophets
I learned the language they 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
Ooh, so easy
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
Tonight I just want easy company
Ooh, gotta make it easy
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
Ooh, so easy
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
