Songtext Dey won't Eric Burdon

Dey won't

I've seen the kings
I've seen the queens
I've seen them riding in a big limousine
I've heard them talking
About they're gonna save the world
But dey don't

I've seen them up in their ivory towers
I've waited in the lobbies
For hours and hours
I knew they're talking Jane Mansfield
But dey don't

I've seen the chickies up in Beverly Hills
I've seen them taking all their little bitty pills
I've heard them taking 'bout they're gonna get it on
But dey won't

No dey won't, dey won't
Dey don't know who they're screwing
No dey don't, dey don't
Dey don't know what they're doing
No dey don't, dey don't
Dey don't know when they're praying
And dey don't know when they're going
And dey don't know what they're saying

I've seen the man and I've seen his land
I've heard him talking 'bout he's gonna move the stand
He wears a pretty hat but he don't understand
No he don't

Yeah, I've seen them up at the BTU
And I've heard them talking in their petty little way
And I've heard them talking how they're
Gonna save our youth
But dey don't
No, dey don't

I've seen them up in the singles bars
I've seen them grooving in their big flashy cars
Telling all the little girls they're gonna make them stars
But dey won't

They talk about it all day long, but
You never get it on
Never get it on
Never get it on
Hey baby, how are you doin'
Hey, come here a minute
Hey, hey, let me talk to you for a while
Oh, you won't
You mean you can't
