Pay to Cum by. Bad Brains (Both versions)

From Bad Brains and Black Dots and here are the lyrics
I make decision with precision
Lost inside this manned collision
Just to see that what is to be
Perfectly my fantasy
I came to know with now dismay
That in this world we all must pay
Pay to write, pay to play
Pay to cum, pay to fight
And all in time,
With just our minds
We soon will find
What's left behind
Not long ago when things were slow
We all got by with what we know
The end is near. Hearts filled with fear
Don't want to listen to what they hear
And so it's now we choose to fight
To stick up for our bloody right
The right to sing, the right to dance
The right is ours... We'll take the chance
A peace together
A piece apart
A piece of wisdom
From our hearts

I taped the first version off a college radio station around 30 years ago, but they didn't say what it was. Just heard it on a Bucky Lasek skate video and thought 'that's the song!' :o Nice to hear again.

I really don't know which one I like best. Bad Brains is the only band that can sing a song two different ways, and they are both incredible.

[@maxglobs]

I prefer the Black Dots version, since it's actually possible for a human being not imbued with supernatural powers to sing along with it.

[@tomin8ated]

[@ArrogantResponse]

[@brockjms1]

Wish this could have been recorded like the band's other works. This is one of their best songs..

[@goldenagenut]

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, they're both equally great versions! Why must you choose?

[@jimbo2346]

I could swear that the version of "Pay to Cum" on Bad Brains is different from the first song played at the beginning.

[@renegade687]

[@VideogeekinMD]

Technically there three versions...either way, there all awesome.
