Last Night A Funk Band Saved My Life

LYRICS:

Did you ever get the feeling? [x3]
Did you ever get the feeling that life has a life of its own?
Did you ever get the feeling that you have no control?
So to hold on to anything, you know that you gotta LET GO

Did you ever get the feeling that life has a life of its own?
It's just a big mess of energy, that's why they say to go with the flow.
So to hold on to anything, you know that you gotta LET GO

Did you ever get the feeling that you have no control?
At the end of the road, I think we'll know all there is to know.
In the meantime it's probably best if we just LET GO.

Get the feeling [x3]...
Get the feeling that you gotta LET GO

Get the feeling [x3]...
Get the feeling if we just LET GO

Get the feeling [x3]...
Get the feeling LET GO

Let Go

LYRICS =

We human beings like to think that we're highly intelligent
Collectively though we fail at what's really most relevant

We stomp around on the moral high ground just like we own it
But in the end we only care about our family and friends

Don't be angry with us, don't you know that we're just a bunch of animals
But wouldn't it be sweet if instead we could be "just" animals

When we're hungry you don't wanna go anywhere near our food
If you're not in the pack, then you best stay back from our brood

We don't know real from fake, so we let our tribe make all the rules
And if you disagree, then you must be nothing but fools

Don't be angry with us, don't you know that we're just a bunch of animals
But wouldn't it be sweet if instead we could be "just" animals

What really runs the world is the hunt for the almighty dollar
And it wraps itself around our neck like a choke chain collar
(x2)

Don't be angry with us, don't you know that we're just a bunch of animals
(x2)

Just Animals

LYRICS:

Walk away, don't say what you're thinking of
Don't stay, we're through, and I'm shaken up
Mark it down, another case of unrequited love

Later on we'll meet on the street by coincidence
You pretend to care, or is it genuine?
I'll contend looking in your eyes, I'm not broken

As we talk my heart’s pulsating
Do you feel anything, are you debating?
If we did the right thing by separating?

Hold on, let me re-frame this
Time passes, time passes, time passes, and I get perspective
Who's to say we'd have gone the distance
Lots of pieces gotta fit to make a go of it

Even though it's a sad reality
As they say, hearts and thoughts, they fade away
So I know I'll get over this some day

And when my heart has mended
Even though our time together ended
I'll put these, old memories 
Away to bed, with no regrets
And know my life is better 'cause of what we had

Breakup Song

Lyrics =

You got it (x3)

You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)
You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)

Nothing lasts forever, we all know it (we all know it)
But you can't just learn it, and not show it (gotta show it)

Think about what you have, not what you haven't (think about it)
Think about what you love, don't dwell on bad shit (don't you dwell, no)

And just stop all this taking things for granted (oh yeah)
Don't you know it's a really nasty habit (don't you know)

Tell the people who you love that you love 'em (that you love 'em)
Don't just say it, go and grab and kiss and hug 'em (go and hug 'em)

Because what you have ain't guaranteed (oh no)
Even if it seems like it might be

You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)
You got to stop and smell the roses while they blossom (while they blossom)

You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)
You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)

‘Cause no one knows for sure what this life is about, no doubt (no doubt about it)
You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)
You got to know what you got when you got it (when you got it)

You got it (x5)

You Got It

LYRICS =

(Overlapping voices repeating)
The end
The end of this
The end?
The end.

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, ain't gonna be a great abyss

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, can't be only nothingness

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, ain't gonna be a great abyss

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, can't be only nothingness

The end of this is a mystery
Maybe we'll rejoin a great cosmic creative energy

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, ain't gonna be a blank darkness

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, doesn't make nothing exist

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, ain't gonna be a blank darkness

The end of this, is not what we think it is
The end of this, doesn't make nothing exist

The end of this is the end of me
I'm at peace with that 'cause I know there's so much more to be

The end of this, is not, not, not  
The end of this, is not, not, not  
The end...is not, not, not  
The end...is not, not , not, not  

The end of this is a mystery
Maybe we'll rejoin a great cosmic creative energy

The end of this, is not, not, not, not  
The end of this, is not, not, not, not the end

The end of this is a mystery
Maybe we'll rejoin a great cosmic creative energy

The End Of This

LYRICS:
If the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Then how do we turn this thing around in the opposite direction
It's not like I believe we're on our way to heaven
But humanity's in serious need of collective intervention
And our lack of attention span prevents any meaningful reflection

I guess it's just human nature
It's been like this forever I'd wager
I don't think we'll ever fundamentally change our behavior
But it would be nice...
It would be nice

If we weren't so myopic
If we weren't so misanthropic
If we could stay on topic

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Then how do we turn this thing around in the opposite direction
It's not like I believe we're all going to heaven
But humanity's in serious need of some honest introspection
And our lack of attention span prevents any meaningful reflection

I guess it's just human nature...
It's been like this forever I'd wager
I don't think we'll ever fundamentally change our behavior
But it would be nice...
It would be nice

If we weren't so dogmatic
If we weren't so dramatic
If we weren't so problematic

If we weren't so sadistic
If we weren't so simplistic
If we weren't so narcissistic

If we weren't so hyperbolic
If we weren't so diabolic
If we weren't so vitriolic

Be Nice

LYRICS:
From time to time I get nostalgic,
I know it doesn't always follow logic,
And there's one thing I don't miss a bit,
And this is it, yeah this is it…

I used to have all these questions,
I used to have all these things to say.
Like why do we exist?
And what is the meaning of all this?
Yeah I used to have all these questions.

I used to make everything emotionally heavy, 
I used to put all this symbolic weight on things.

I used to have all these questions, 
Yeah I used to have all these things to say, 
Like why do people have to lie? 
And why are we born only to die? 
Yeah I used to have all these questions.

But now I know that asking why is a human invention, 
And if the one true answer exists, it's beyond our comprehension. 
Yes there's cause and effect -- but no ultimate meaning behind it. 
Yeah I used to have all these questions.

Now, I just listen, and stop asking why.
And I'm accepting of the silence, not waiting for replies.

I used to...used to...used to...used to…question…
Used to...used to...used to...used to…question…
All these…all these...all these...all these…questions…
Used to...used to...used to...used to…question.

Be Nice
