Connected

Ah ah
Something ain't right
I'm gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself connected
I ain't gonna go blind
For the light which is reflected
I see thru you
I see thru you
I see thru you
I see thru you
Ya dirty tricks
Ya make me sick
I see thru you
I see thru you
I'm gonna do it again
I'm gonna do it again
Ah ah
I'm gonna do it again
Gotta do right
'Cause something ain't right
Gotta do right
Come on
If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble you might fall
Stumble you might fall
Stumble you might fall
Ah ah
Ain't gonna go blind
I see thru you
I see thru you
I'm gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself
I'm gonna get myself connected
I ain't gonna go blind
For the light that is reflected
Hear me out
Can ya hear me out
Can ya hear me out
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
I wanna do it again
I wanna do it again
I wanna do it again
Ya terrified
Ain't gonna go blind
Ain't gonna go blind
Here we go
If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble you might fall
Stumble you might fall
Hear me out
Stumble you might fall
Interstate 5
Stayin' alive
Won't someone try
Open up your eyes
You must be blind
If you can't see
The gaping hole
Called reality
Wanna do it again
I gonna gonna do it again
I wanna do it again
Come on
I'm gonna do it again
Hear me out
Terrified
Something ain't right
Here we go
If you make sure you're connected
The writing's on the wall
But if your mind's neglected
Stumble you might fall
Stumble you might fall
Stumble you might fall

It just depends how close to ground level you are
It just depends how close to ground level you are
Can you see the hurt, can you see the pain?
Can you feel the rain comin' like a train of thought?

It just depends how close to ground level you are
Whether rain or shine, whether yours or mine
Say I won’t go blind for no Philistine no more
It just depends how close to ground level you are
So get on train of thought, so get on train of thought

We're sick of seein' poverty
We're sick of seein' misery
We're sick of the fatality
In every locality

Are we just killing time, waiting for a sign
Like a battle cry or a long goodbye, no no
It just depends how close to ground level you are
So get on train of thought
It just depends how close to ground level you are

They'll use you as artillery
They want you in the milit'ry
You gotta know your enemy
But we all know the killer be
They act so viciously

Wearin' pure diguise, they camouflage their eyes
All around there's spies, no one realise, no no
It just depends how close to ground level you are
So get on train of thought (so get on train of thought)

We're sick of seein' proverty
We're sick of seein' proverty
We're sick of seein' proverty

Are just killing time, waiting for a sign
Like a battle cry or a long goodbye, no more
It just depends how close to ground level you are
So get on train of thought

To the left to the right
Step it up, step it up it’s alright
To the left and to the right
Check the new ride out it’s alright

Silence ain’t in season
Cos there ain’t no good in grief
Can’t stop my mouth form breathin’
Or seein’ what I see
Curves with destinations
Poetic symmetry
Ya cause an inflammation
In my anatomy – don’t you see

Yeah yeah yeah – you can’t send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah – but I’ll still reach up to the top
Yeah yeah yeah – until the last day that I drop
Yeah yeah yeah – this is something you can’t stop

From infancy I grown
The message that I’m givin’

You don’t have to be alone - no you don’t
Cos days may come and go - come and go

You’ll see no sight or sound
But when your mind is willing
You’ll find that I’ll be around
Hear me sayin’, hear me sayin’

Yeah yeah yeah – you can’t send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah – but I’ll still reach up to the top
Yeah yeah yeah – until the last day that I drop
Yeah yeah yeah

To the left to the right
Keep it goin’ keep it goin’ it’s alright
To the left to the right
Step it up, step it up it’s alright

We want flesh
We want flesh
We want flesh
Ah ah ah

All you gotta do is bounce it
To see just what goes where
There ain’t no way around it
So I have come well prepared
Don’t you know
I’m in you form the outset
Hip to hip and dome to dome
We reach the outer limits

Bring the boogie boogie home
Back home

Yeah yeah yeah – you can’t send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah – but I’ll still reach out to the top
Yeah yeah yeah – we’re goin’ right around the clock
Yeah yeah yeah

To the left to the right
Step it up, step it up it’s alright
To the left to the right
Check the new ride out it’s alright

See how we are livin’ (8x)
You’ll hear me sayin’

Yeah yeah yeah – you can’t send a forget-me-not
Yeah yeah yeah – but I’ll still reach up to the top
Yeah yeah yeah – until the last day that I drop
Yeah yeah yeah – this is something you can’t stop

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

To the left to the right
Keep it goin’ keep it goin’ it’s alright
To the left to the right
Step it up, step it up it’s alright

It's alright (x5)

If you don't know what to say
Then keep your mouth shut out the way
You'll get no flattery

If you know the time of day
Then why'd you let yourself go gray
You need a battery

'Cause every moment counts
As the watchdog waits to pounce
But he ain't smart as me

With the Bible on his lips
And a pistol on each hip
But he ain't blindin' me

So just remember
Don't believe all you see
Things aren't always how they're meant to be
Some come as villain, dressed as virtue
But all they really wanna do is hurt you
And that's reality

Gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We're gonna keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure

So when it feels like a sit 'n' slide
I treat each day as a brand new ride
Let it all come down on me

You could be north, you could be east
You could be beauty, you could be beast
It don't mean a thing to me

You could be movin', you could be still
As long as it's of your own free will
Don't be a target, see

Well save our souls, Saints preserve us
Hold on tight now, but don't get nervous
Bring it on quick before the light fade
There live a lover, comin' out the shade
At first you act like you don't know me
And all you seem to care about is mourning
And every day it seem to get harder
I don't know how we're gonna reach it farther

Gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We gotta keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure
We're gonna keep it up, keep it up
Keep up the pressure

Don't tell me what to do
Don't tell me how to live my life
I won't respond to you

You may have my rank, have my file
But I'll resist you like the Nile
Don't matter what you do

Gonna keep it up
Gotta keep it up
Keep up the pressure

Ooh yeah... yeah yeah (x3)

Talking ‘bout creation
I’m talking ‘bout relations
I’m talking ‘bout creation
We need a combination

Gimme no slack and I bring it right back
Cos the punch I pack’s gonna come with a smack
Cos I’m like that, exactly like that
And if I slip there’s no excuse for that
It gets deep but I can’t control
The road is steep and full of pit holes
Cheap and nasty sophistication
But all I seein’ is pure creation
A solo station for civilization
Congregating in another dimension
Don’t ask me why I don’t understand it
It’s just the way nature planned it

I’m talking ‘bout creation
I’m talking ‘bout relations
I’m talking ‘bout creation
We need a combination

Ooh yeah... yeah yeah

To a hairs breath how we gonna do it
You want to look but you knew it you blew it
Out of proportion no I don’t think so
This thing’s bigger than both of us so
Drop your anchor and weigh your thoughts
Like mega ton bombs droppin’ on your front porch
A real summer breeze that’s gonna be
When they don’t exist and neither do we

I’m talking ‘bout creation
I’m talking ‘bout relations
I’m talking ‘bout creation
We need a combination (x2)

I don’t shirk the work come strong like Hercules
Till I seize your heartbeat and make it freeze
So you know I’m authentic
And when I said that I don’t let up I really meant it

I’m full of beans co s I eat my greens
I’m like Mr Lean I love the way you scream
I see jungles forests rivers streams
Grand Canyon mountains seas and livin’ beings
Sweet dreams are made of these things
And the power to raise up my limbs
To all these gifts I wanna dedicate
Every hour I spend and every second I take

Cos I’m talking ‘bout creation
I’m talking ‘bout relations
I’m talking ‘bout creation
We need some combination

Ooh yeah... yeah yeah (x2)

That's the way nature planned

I'm talking 'bout creation
I'm talking 'bout relation
I'm talking 'bout creation
We need some motivation

Ooh yeah... yeah yeah
