Wordy Rappinghood Lyrics - Tom Tom Club

What are words worth? 

What are words worth? Words 

Words in papers, words in books 

Words on TV, words for crooks 

Words of comfort, words of peace 

Words to make the fighting cease 

Words to tell you what to do 

Words are working hard for you 

Eat your words but don't go hungry 

Words have always nearly hung me 

What are words worth? 

What are words worth? Words 

Words of nuance, words of skill 

And words of romance are a thrill 

Words are stupid, words are fun 

Words can put you on the run 

Mots press?X, mots sens?X, 

Mots qui disent la vâÝit?Mots maudits, mots mentis, 

Mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit 

What are words worth? 

What are words worth? - Words 

Its a rap race, with a fast pace 

Concrete words, abstract words 

Crazy words and lying words 

Hazy words and dying words 

Words of faith and tell me straight 

Rare words and swear words 

Good words and bad words 

What are words worth? 

What are words worth? - Words 

Words can make you pay and pay 

Four-letter words I cannot say 

Panty, toilet, dirty devil 

Words are trouble, words are subtle 

Words of anger, words of hate 

Words over here, words out there 

In the air and everywhere 

Words of wisdom, words of strife 

Words that write the book I like 

Words won't find no right solution 

To the planet earth's pollution 

Say the right word, make a million 

Words are like a certain person 

Who can't say what they mean 

Don't mean what they say 

With a rap rap here and a rap rap there 

Here a rap, there a rap 

Everywhere a rap rap 

Rap it up for the common good 

Let us enlist the neighbourhood 

It's okay, I've overstood 

This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye 

What are words worth? 

What are words worth? - Words 

What are words worth? 

What are words worth? - Words 

He'll stop Don't stop Stop
