We gonna take you higher not caught in the quagmire
I can't survive on a stupid nine to five I'd rather be poor
Writing tunes livin' on a commune
Kickin' it with my brothers and significant others
Life in pursuit of only money we think it's funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring to me
Would be some gifts for my friends follow me now
Trips for my family
like to build the world a spliff but like I said I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth
Myself my birthday happens to land on April twelfth whack
I swipe the sweets strip the beats in the sunshine
Loco holmes I stroll because I'm thinking
A tone poem alone is love medicine then the demon
Spring revolution in my spirit here it is and I will kill with it
Illusions fadin' out an comin' on again
unwind your mind then find entire minutes abstract
the tract of sight day breaking in it
doles out my share of the world ocean and sun
Rising with whirling motion
Warm and I say come on the night won't save anyone
won't you roam
We've grown so we can write again our soul select its own way for
The travellin'
we're here we're breathing and we wanna keep our
Blood running so we're gonna keep gunning till the next homecoming
I like the boogie to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie
To the bang bang come on
with the extended intro at 3-11-00....this song is fucking kickass....welcome to this groove..the best way any artist should tell their listeners...
Numbers of posts don't always show how good the song is.
absolutely right rhcp. this song is my favorite of theirs, and i'm really kind of glad to not see a bunch of peoples' different interpretations of the lyrics, regardless how straight-forward they are.
i love there non materialistic views its great for this age
I grew up listening to this band, and damn if they weren't putting out some pretty old soul stuff when they were in their early 20s.
Welcome to this groove you can move right We gonna take you higher. (higher) Not gonna think like Meyer. (Meyer) I can't survive on a stupid nine to five I'd rather be poor
In between "You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth" and "Myself my birthday happens to land on April twelfth whack" you can hear a voice in the background saying "your tripping"
