The Doobie Brothers - Takin' It to the Streets Lyrics

You don't know me but I'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon, the time will tell

You, telling me the things
You're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like
What I think I see

(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh, na, na

Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair

Oh, you, telling me the things
You're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like
What I think I see

(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh yeah
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it, takin' it
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for hiding
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh yeah
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the)

Oh, you, telling me the things
You're gonna do for me, yeah, yeah
I ain't blind and I don't like
What I think I see

(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh yeah
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
We'll discuss it further
(Takin' it to the streets)
Oh, na
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it, takin' it
(Takin' it to the streets)
Yeah, yeah
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it to the streets
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for running
(Takin' it to the streets)
No more need for hiding
(Takin' it to the streets)
Hey, yeah
(Takin' it to the streets)
No, na
(Takin' it to the streets)
Yeah, yeah
(Takin' it to the streets)
Takin' it, takin' it
(Takin' it to the streets)
