Jimmy James Lyrics

People how you doing there's a new day dawning
For the earth mother it's a brand new morning
For such a long while there's been such longing
But now the sun is shining let's roll back the awning
This is a type of kinda like a formal dedication
Giving out a shout for much inspiration
All I ever wanna do is get nice
Get loose and goof my little slice of life
Sendin' out love to all corners of the land
Jump up on the stage and take the mic in my hand
Not playin' the role just being who I am
And if you try to dis me I couldn't give a damn
'Cause I'm rockin'
Bass from the back of my car feels soothing
Eight bazookas is what I'm using
I'm Mike D. and it's been proven
I love it when I see the party people movin'
Strapped on the ear goggles and what did I see
But the music brought the people into harmony

also at the beginning, that's cheap trick.

Which Cheap Trick song? I'm pretty sure that's the intro to "Foxy Lady" by Hendrix.

Extremely strong opening to an incredible album. Check Your Head is one of the best albums I've ever heard! From beginning to end it kicks ass in so many ways. Seriously, there is nothing that sucks here. I bought it when it came out & it still hasn't gotten old. The 2009 remaster is worth the money. A whole extra disc with the b-sides & remixes.
