Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now, you're headin' down to get someone
Shoulda done what he had to do years ago
The position is comin' through
All the people that you're standin' on
All the people that you're standin' on
[Verse 2]
Now, you're headin' down to be someone
Someone that you seen in a magazine
Your premonition is comin' true
Oh, baby you're not so green
Oh, baby you're not so green
No, baby you're not so
[Verse 3]
Sister Madly, wakin' up the dead
Systematically steppin' on my head
'Cause Sister Madly, wakin' up the dead
Systematically steppin' on my head
[Verse 4]
Now, you're headin' down to find something
Something that you buried in your backyard
Position is a comin' through
From all the dirt that you're diggin' up
From all the dirt that you're diggin' up
[Verse 5]
Now, you're headin' down to be somewhere
Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
Opposition is a comin' through
From all the people that you're standin' on
From all the people that you're standin' on
And now you better take a firm hand
[Verse 6]
Sister Madly, wakin' up the dead
Systematically steppin' on my head
Sister Madly, wakin' up the dead, ah
Systematically steppin' on my head
[Verse 7]
Now, you're headin' down to get someone
Someone that you shoulda had years ago
Position is comin' through
All the people that you're standin' on
All the people that you're standin' on
All the people that you're standin' on
A had to get a hand on
[Verse 8]
Sister Madly, wakin' up the dead
Systematically steppin' on my head
Hey, yo, Sister Madly, wakin' up the dead
You're systematically steppin' on my head
