Lyrics

[DYLAN EBDUS puts a needle on a record.] [JUNIOR] I'm just walking down the street And the street is lonely There's no one to save me Save me Save me Save me [JUNIOR] I'm just walking down the street   And the street is lonely There's no one to save me And no one for me to save And I feel like I could be Superman I could come and save you If only I could... [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] I'm just walking down the street Walking down the street Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... And I feel like Ah... Ah... Ah... [DYLAN, spoken] I want to tell you the story of me and my friend Mingus Rude. But to do that, I have to tell you about my mother.  (sung) My mother had a dream My mother used to sing My mother had a record collection My mother made it seem That every time she'd sing Every song made a secret connection Nina Simone, Woody Guthrie, Ethel Waters The Mamas and the Papas, their sons and daughters Josephine Baker, Miles Davis, The Rolling Stones She said the song would save us [RACHEL] We're part of a movement This place is where it starts The block is the kind of space the world should be A better America than the one's that's on TV That's how I see it That's how it is
