Beautiful Newborn Child Lyrics - Singles - Eric Burdon & War

Oh yeah I'm a child of the funky time 

Oh yeah my people have committed ugly crimes 

And in the process of me breaking free 

I have inherited a painful legacy 

I have even created some ugly children for you to adopt 

That you have chosen to embrace 

You embrace the ugly, the dyin' and the freak 

Only because he is a part of you and you are afraid to speak 

Deep down, way down in the depths of you 

He is ready to take over and rape the last part of the sanity in your mind 

Let him out, let him out, let him run wild, scream free 

Get crazy and forget about music what it was what it is or what its supposed to be 

Give it to the day, give in to the funky 

Give in to the gypsy, to the nigger in you soul and fly free 

Fly free 

..Give it to the.... 

Oh lord, curse of the newborn child 

...The incredible madness of just you, and then 

Yeah, yeah 

...Maybe, we will see.... 

A beautiful newborn child 

...Something beautiful, something beautiful...
