Lirik lagu Aerosmith - Hoodoo Voodoo Medicine Man dan Terjemahan
Liriknya menggambarkan seorang "dukun" kiasan yang memiliki kekuatan untuk menyembuhkan penyakit tetapi juga melambangkan manipulasi, kekuasaan, dan kendali. Lagu ini memiliki nuansa yang unik dan menyenangkan dengan sentuhan cerita yang menyeramkan, saat sang tokoh utama menemukan dirinya terjerat dalam jaringan ketertarikan dan manipulasi. Vokal Steven Tyler yang energik dan instrumentasi dinamis band ini menghidupkan lagu tersebut, menjadikannya salah satu lagu yang paling unik dan eksperimental di album ini. "Hoodoo Voodoo Medicine Man" menangkap keinginan Aerosmith untuk memadukan berbagai gaya dan mendorong batasan kreatif.
Lirik Terjemahan
Sired by a shaman, I was left as a child
Dragged from the cradle, I was weaned in the wild
Ran with the wolf pack, flesh torn to shreds
In the compensations, I was left there for dead
Read it in the paper, it ain't fair
You-know-who today don't seem to care
Living, loving, getting loose
Masturbating with a noose
Now someone's kicking out the chair
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Some kind of Voodoo
Come across this land
Some kind of Voodoo
We need a medicine man
Everybody's lookin' at the sky
I don't believe the cover ups and lies, yeah
They've been telling us since birth
Pissing off old Mother Earth
My gones are by-gones prophesized
Come on
Some kind of Voodoo
Come across this land
Some kind of hoodoo
We need a medicine man
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
Get ready!
Huh, huh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Wonder should I go or should I stay
'Cause what we got ain't working any way
I did my best, God knows I've tried
I feel like I've been crucified
Why did you, why did you
Why did you take it all away?
