If it isn't one thing rest assured that something.
Will come back and pay you for your deed
A shortcut's a self defeating means, if you cannot do it clean.
You'll never reach your reward.
And when the day is done, what you receive is the sum.
Of what you took out, from what you put in.
Shadows what I think and feel is real.
Times in our tribe feel the tribe when we thrive.
We have no fear of death and no fear of life.
I can't forget you and our version of paradise.
I can't forget you and our version of paradise.
What you did as a devil or did as an angel.
The favor returns itself somehow.
If you take my money I’ll buy you a drink and you'll see.
That no one rides for free.
I'm wearing my heart sleeveless and I'm always up for kickin’.
This is my favorite city pity everywhere the enemy.
From the beginning serious history
nothing's ever given to no one. Rides for free.
From the beginning radiant energy's
music what I need to keep my sanity.
Follow me now when I say we can never stop in we never give.
Cuz this is how we breathe and live.
Some of them whine and some of them bitch.
They cannot do it we never switch.
We do it for ourselves and we do it for you.
If you don't like it well I hope you do.
I've got to be honest.

This is a good one. I'm surprised no one's commented on this song yet.

This song has many different meanings... but the recurring theme of "everything you do comes back to you" is SOOO true...

"Music is what I need to keep my sanity", I really like that line, I agree. This song is beautiful. I have never really heard a 311 song I disliked with the exeption of 2 or 3 songs from evolver.

Its about KARMA!!!
311's awesome

This song is amazing! "I have no fear of death and no fear of life"

love 'em -m-

hmmm....less confusing than homebrew, but still multiple meanings. As with every 311 song, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ( = everyone interprets it differently). I think this was about some girl that did something horrible, or cheated on nick (maybe SA). 'If you take my money I’ll buy you a drink and you'll see. That no one rides for free.' sounds like he's trying to tell someone that (no one rides for free). And the whole gist of the song ('I cant forget you and our version of paradise', and 'Everything you do, it comes back to you...') reminds me of just accepting that fact that people are the way they are, but you get what you earn. Listen with the heart, not the mind.

This is one of my favorite songs by 311. Also, I love the fan dancers on the DVD.

"Times in our tribe feel the tribe when we thrive."
Should be
"Times in our tribe feel the vibe when we thrive."
