Get Used To It
02:24
|
|||
|
She’s a legend.
The kind who likes to hang around
After she’s long gone.
An education,
To listen to her and see
Where I’ve been wrong.
And it’s easy to get a little bit defensive.
Just got to open up my ears
And give a little more attention.
I’ll get used to it.
It’s what you say, not what you mean.
I’ll get used to it.
I’d say I got used by it.
Another lesson.
Waitin’ with your pen and pad,
I hope you take notes.
A new perspective;
Looking through a pair of eyes
That are not your own.
And it’s easy to get a little bit defensive.
Just got to open up your eyes, yeah,
And give a little more attention.
You’ll get used to it.
It’s what you say, not what you mean.
You’ll get used to it.
Well I’d say we got used by it.
And I don’t ever wanna be on her bad side, no.
(Too late, man. Way too late for that.)

Bandwagon

|

You enlighten her on how to be enlightened.
You teach her how to be taught.
You don’t know when to say beautiful,
Or if to say hot.
Classic men jump on the bandwagon (x3)
Because they want to steer.
Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.
I’ll give you a second to figure it out.
You tell her she ain’t dressed right for the daylight
Like you know. Like you fight the fight.
Ohhhh -
Classic men jump on the bandwagon (x3)
Because they want to steer.

Mina

|
They’re being mean to Mina.
And what did she do?
She’s smarter than you, and me.
And she’s stronger, too, you’ll see.
So mean to Mina.
And she don’t got nowhere to go.
Gun to her temple starts to resemble
A hostage situation. Oh Mina -
Mina didn’t do nothing.
Get off her back!
No, Mina didn’t do nothing.
Get off her back!
Mina, please don’t try
To talk to Mom tonight.
He’s waiting by the door
And looking for a fight.
Yeah, he’s looking for a fight.
Mina didn’t do nothing.
Get off her back!
No, Mina didn’t do nothing.
Get off her back!
Hey! What are you afraid of?
Get off her back!
No, Mina didn’t do nothing.
Get off her back!
So many Mina’s
We don’t know about.
Don’t be mean to Mina.
Don’t drown her out.

Gatekeeper
03:53
|
|||
|
She’s a Gatekeeper.
And she’s got the keys.
Gatekeeper!
Gatekeeper, you’ve got the keys.
Gatekeeper, you’ve got what I need.
Gatekeeper, you’ve got the keys.
Life bringer, you’ve got what I need.
Huh! Hoo! Hah!

Who's That?
03:51
|
|||
|
Oh, Fatima!
(who’s that?)
The superstar in every room, yeah.
The superstar in every room, come on!
And it’s easy (x3)
To love her, and love the way she moves.

Dudes
04:18
|

|
She’s got a hole in her shoe
Gravel slips into.
But she marches through.
Yeah she’s marchin’ through.
She’s never known a 9-5.
Her eyes caught on the prize.
She’s never out in time to see daylight.
Daylight (x3)
She’s gonna save the world.
We got to listen.
She’s gonna save the world,
So we’ve got to listen.
You’ve probably figured it out by now,
What this is all about.
Hey dudes, we’ve got to change our attitudes.
We’re so confused,
And we don’t know what it is we should do.
Dooo (x3)
She’s gonna save the world.
We got to listen.
She’s gonna save the world,
So we’ve got to listen.
We’ve got to listen to her.
You know we’ve got to listen to her.

Made Up
02:54
|

|
Hey dude in the bright green shirt,
As you’re laying in your bed,
Do you have it in your head
To “wear your face” today?
Hey dude in the purple pants,
As you’re getting on your feet,
Do you feel complete as soon as you
Apply your ruby reds?
You don’t have to be made up to be real.
Hey dude in the blueball cap
And the shorts over your knees,
Are easier to please
If she looks like your magazine?
Hey dude, it’s a lesson we
Should have learned when we were young:
What I see upon the TV screen
Has always been deceiving me.
You don’t have to be made up to be real.

Say It
03:09
|
|||
|
Bleeding in the black.
Dealing in the dark.
Tongue of silver sees a shadow but no mark.
Intimate details
Sharpen in the air;
Navigate the tension sittin’ in your stare.
“Hang on tight, let go loose.”
Ringin’ in my ears, yeah.
“Hang on tight, let go loose.”
Say it!
Can you say what I’m thinking
Like you already know?
Say it!
Can you say what I’m thinking?
We’ve had good luck before.
“Hang on tight, let go loose.”
Ringin’ in my ears, yeah.
“Hang on tight, let go loose.”
Ringin’ in my ears always.

Another Level
03:38
|
|||
|
You’re always on another level.
I wanna be where you are.
You’re always on another level.
It suddenly seems so far.
And every time I try to climb up to you,
You go higher.
Can I get higher?
‘Cause I can’t live without you.
You’re on another level. (x2)
And every morning,
As the early fog rolls in,
I see you watching.
Because I’m watching;
Wondering how to get in.
And every time I try to climb up to you,
You go higher.
Can I get higher, too?
‘Cause I can’t live - no,
I can’t live without you.
You’re on another level.
Always on another level.
