Voodoo Medicine Man Lyrics
Sired by a Shaman...I was left as a child
Dragged from the craddle, I was weaned in the wild
Running with the wolfpack
Flesh torn to shred, no compensation
I was left there...for dead
Read it in the paper, it ain't fair
You know who today don't seem to care
Livin' lovin' gettin' loose
Masturbatin' with a noose
Now someone's kickin' out the chair
Ye gi gi git goa...
Some kind of voodoo
Come across this land
Some kind of voodoo
We need a medicine man
Everybody's lookin' at the sky
They don't believe the cover ups and lies
Yeah...they been tellin' us since birth
Pissin' off old Mother Earth
My gones are by gones prophesized
Come on
Some kind of voodoo
Come across this land
Some kind of hoodoo
We need a medicine man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Wonder should I go or should I stay
'Cause what we got ain't working any way
I did my best, God knows I've tried
I feel like I've been crucified
Why did you, why did you,
Why did you take it all away
Voodoo, voodoo, Medicine Man...
Dragged from the craddle, I was weaned in the wild
Running with the wolfpack
Flesh torn to shred, no compensation
I was left there...for dead
You know who today don't seem to care
Livin' lovin' gettin' loose
Masturbatin' with a noose
Now someone's kickin' out the chair
Come across this land
Some kind of voodoo
We need a medicine man
They don't believe the cover ups and lies
Yeah...they been tellin' us since birth
Pissin' off old Mother Earth
My gones are by gones prophesized
Come across this land
Some kind of hoodoo
We need a medicine man
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause what we got ain't working any way
I did my best, God knows I've tried
I feel like I've been crucified
Why did you, why did you,
Why did you take it all away

I Say that Steven Tyler is right on target here. Voodoo Medicine Man is one of the best Aerosmith songs because he is angry that we are ticking off Mother Earth. Steven has seen the headlines on TV and the paper and he does not like what he hears and sees. Tyler is mad as hell and he's not gonna take it anymore! He has every right to be! No wonder he titles the second Aerosmith biography Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? The Answer to that Question is a resounding Yes! My favorite and the best song from Pump.
correction one of the fucking godlike songs off the pump album
oh and its not "pumped" its PUMP! stupid twat
yea stupid twat
Amazing song!
Okay, so I am a twat.
Anyway, what does this song mean? It seems to be from the point of view from a "voodoo medicine man" and what he thinks of the civilized world's destruction of the planet.
The Weird Song off the Pumped album.
