Gleich eine kleine Frage zu Beginn dieses Clips: Welcher musikbeflossene Leser der Gruft weiss, wer die Gitarre bei «No Sleep Till Brooklyn» zupft? Die Antwort auf diese Frage und den Songtext gibts nach dem Klick!
Es ist Kerry King von Slayer. Und hier wie versprochen, die Lyrics zum Song:
(chorus) No sleep ‹til – Brooklyn
Foot on the pedal – never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job’s ain’t a job – it’s a damn good time
City to city – I’m running my rhymes
On location – touring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I’m willing and able
Ain’t no faking – your money I’m taking
Going coast to coast – watching all the girlies shaking
While you’re at the job working nine to five
The Beastie Boys at the Garden – cold kickin› it live(bridge) No sleep ‹til –
Another plane, another train
Another bottle in the brain
Another girl – another fight
Another drive all night
Our manager’s crazy – he always smokes dust
He’s got his own room at the back of the bus
Tour around the world – you rock around the clock
Plane to hotel – girls on the jock
We’re thrashing hotels like it’s going out of style
Getting paid along the way cause it’s worth your while
Four on the floor – Adrock’s out the door
M.C.A.’s in the back because he’s skeezin› with a whore
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
With dice in the front and Brooklyn’s in the back(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus)
Ain’t seen the light since we started this band
M.C.A. – get on the mic my man
Born and bred Brooklyn – U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauch – but I’m M.C.A.
Like a lemon to a lime – a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women
Got limos, arena, TV shows
Autograph pictures and classy hoes
Step off homes – get out of my way
Taxing little girlies from here to L.A.
Waking up before I get to sleep
Cause I’ll be rocking this party eight days a weekNo sleep till brooklyn…
No sleep till brooklyn…
No sleep till brooklyn…
No sleep till brooklyn…
No sleep till brooklyn…
oohhhh…. soooo geil … danke
Gern geschehen
