Move to the Other Side of the Block Lyrics
So we try, and try, all of our lives,
Working with such pride, making cash just to survive,
As we race, and grade, and judge always,
Other folks mistakes, makes us good to feel that way,
And don't you know, it never stops,
You try to please the world to beat the ticking clocks,
But I, I'm not letting it happen this time, no no,
Because you did not fail, and reach your bail,
I feel so secure when I'm in this jail,
But I, I'm not, letting it happen this time, so I'll..
Move to the other side of the block,
So we won't ever have to stop,
Making the rounds,
Having the laughs,
Singing the sounds, of relaxin',
And on the other side of the clock,
The power switch will be turned off,
And all will be well, and time will stand still, and I will be locked out from my jail
Working with such pride, making cash just to survive,
As we race, and grade, and judge always,
Other folks mistakes, makes us good to feel that way,
And don't you know, it never stops,
You try to please the world to beat the ticking clocks,
But I, I'm not letting it happen this time, no no,
Because you did not fail, and reach your bail,
I feel so secure when I'm in this jail,
But I, I'm not, letting it happen this time, so I'll..
Move to the other side of the block,
So we won't ever have to stop,
Making the rounds,
Having the laughs,
Singing the sounds, of relaxin',
And on the other side of the clock,
The power switch will be turned off,
And all will be well, and time will stand still, and I will be locked out from my jail

this is such a cute song.i love the part"So I'll..move to the other side of the block,so we won't ever have to stop,making the rounds,having the laughs"
its SO SHORT!
Shortness aside this song haunted me in my dreams last night and I woke up needing to download it. What an amazing song- even if it is short :)
wow.... this song is amazing, the only draw back to this song is again its shortness.... great album too.
i'm glad this song has at least some comments, it deserves it :) this is probably one of my favorite earlier songs from bryce. it's short, but sweet- like a lot of his beginning stuff. i think it's just about taking a step back and seeing things on a bigger scale, putting things into perspective and being able to enjoy even the small things that make life worthwhile [the later part of the song] love it.
i think its about realizing everyone is equal and that bryce doesnt want to be around the people who "As we race, and grade, and judge always, Other folks mistakes," just to make themselves feel better, and how is just gonna leave it all behind so he can be around the people who just want to have fun and not put others down
I think this song is about slowing down and enjoying life, rather than living for work.
"And don't you know, it never stops, You try to please the world to beat the ticking clocks, But I, I'm not letting it happen this time, no no"
