Songtext von Topsiders

When a black gang man climbs up the stairs, Sticks his head out the hatch and what does he see? Topsiders! I get to thinking and what a mind-blow All the folks that float this boat Sure, we're all brothers but with different gigs And the engine room was the mission mens' We took the hitch, the black gang crew Deliverin' torque right to the screw Under the deck, we'd hear the topsiders' feet Everyone wailing their own beat Still see them sailors in my brain Fixin' their faces to their names Cadena, mugger, robo, ginn Baiza, brewer, stevenson Holtzman, bostrom, hart, dukowski Rollins, the kirkwoods, spot, carducci Norton, ward, claasen, mould And the boat's main painter, pettibon When a black gang man climbs up the stairs, Sticks his head out the hatch and what does he see? When a black gang man climbs up the stairs, Sticks his head out the hatch and what does he see? Topsiders!
