"The Proposition"


	You can't have the flower without the root
	you can't have the fire without the soot
	Even a stripper needs her red tasseled suit
	and we were meant to be

	In every war the North needs the south
	and everyone knows all assholes have a mouth
	Without mystery what would writers talk about
	and we were meant to be

	An apple needs pits the way melons need seed
	your foot needs your arm and your arm needs your knee
	And one of these days I know you will need me
	we were meant to be, ooohhh, we were meant to be

	You're mother's an ogre your father's a scamp
	you won't see my parents honored on any stamp
	But just like a bulb screws into a lamp
	we were meant to be

	The way the AIDS needs a vaccine, somewhere a vaccine needs
	AIDS, The way a victim needs life, a life needs to be saved
	And out of all of this will come a better way
	we were meant to be

	So you can go to Europe , Los Angeles or Mars
	you can stand on a building throwing cinder blocks on cars
	You can practice deep voodoo, but like me you'll see
	we were meant to be, we were meant to be

	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
	We were meant to be
