Although recorded as a Ween demo while the band was still together, "Thanks and Praises" is often more associated with Gene Ween's solo career. The song dates back at least to late 2008, when Gene began playing it live with the Gene Ween Band; they played it regularly throughout their 2008-2009 tour.[1]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
We see the Jew against the Muslim
The black man, vs the white man, and Puerto Rican
Buzz on the street say the policeman
Shot down a mother from Uganda, oh no
That's why we must give thanks and praises! oh noAyanai, cha-cha, a smackin' down Babylon
Tribulate the trails of Ayanai
How can one man swim, when the other drowning?
Some say I lack flexabilityImpacts the future of development, oh
but if you lock that man in prison
Tell me who, who gonna feed all his children? oh no
That's why we must give thanks and praises! oh noAyanai, cha-cha, a smackin' down Babylon
Tribulate the trails of Ayanai
How can one man swim, when the other drowning?
I stick in the mud will only sink deeper, no noWhen conqueror opresses the Rasta children
don't call the agile with deception
let us pray together for a unification, mhm
That's why, that's why we must give thanks and praises! oh noAyanai, cha-cha, a smackin' down Babylon
Tribulate the trails of Ayanai
How can one man swim, when the other drowning?
How can one man swim, when the others drowning? (No no!)
How can one man swim, when the other drowning? (no)
How can one man swim, when the other drowning?
How can one man swim, when the other Drowning! Drowning! Drowning!
How can one man swim?
