"The Rhythm Method (Move!)"

3-2-1 liftoff jetpack shoot into space
Represent the dot til' were blue in the face
Fre-fre-fresher than toothpaste
You know how we do in the place
The crowd accumulates when he's tuning the bass
The fiddle and guitar are removed from the case
You know its Kenny O when it booms and shakes
You know its our music by the movement it makes

The crowd that it draws
The yearning you get
To prove what it takes

Move
Throw your body on the dance floor
Whether you're beginner or advanced or
Whatever you're doing it's okay like this
So everyone do it your own way like this
Move
Like the dude from chappelle's show
Let it rip like velcro
We spit non-typical flows like this
Mile hi gh city and it goes like this
Like this
Like this
3,2,1,4,5,6,
No telling where the beat might hit

This is out of hand like buster bluth
Leave you sounding like rusted root
Bots out your mouth like a busted tooth
Attention we paying who
Exempt artax like atreyu dude
Staying smooth venue we playing move
When you hear the rabbit saying to
Let five explain it to you

Turn to the next page when I say and

Follow along like A to the B to the C
The 7 piece band you gotta see to believe
Make ya jump around like you needed to pee
Make noise if you wanted me to proceed
Scream like chewbacca off ya rocka
Drink a little vodka link iraq osama democracy
Barack obama arabic for withdraw from vietnam
And it dont stop
Dont quit
So slick

Move
Throw your body on the dance floor
Whether you're beginner or advanced or
Whatever you're doing it's okay like this
So everyone do it your own way like this
Move
Sweat
Get your pants warm
Kee kor keerr kahh
Transform
Wiggle and shake to this song like this
Mile high city and it's on like this
1 2 3 4 5 6
Who's ready for some more hype shit

This is rap's last stop like castle rock
The bots blast off like an astronaut
I suppose we came to get started
Throw them bows like some angry archers
Our delivery's pedigree headed for the charts soon
Hit you in the heart like a harpoon
Like the chambers of the wu tang clan
Flobots got that method man

Wanna hang with the orangutans?
Mass appeal massive bananas in hand
Kenny o got the master plan
To move your body like an ampersand
This rhythm section'll rattle the stands
Rip sheets like we battled the clan
Average bands traffic the median
We stay in the lane we're superman

Move
Throw your body on the dance floor
Whether you're beginner or advanced or
Whatever you're doing it's okay like this
So everyone do it your own way like this
Move
Give it to you unprotected
Cause the rhythm is the method
Are you ready to get loud
Mile high city spell it out

F-l-o-b-o-t-s

"There's A War Going On For Your Mind"

Media mavens mount surgical strikes from trapper keeper collages and online magazine racks
Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads
Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel
Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers
Now it's raining pornography
Lovers take shelter
Post-production debutantes pursue you in Nascar chariots

They construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into the holy water
supplies

There's a war going on for your mind

Industry insiders slang test tube babies to corporate crack heads
They flash logos and blast ghettos
Their embroidered neckties say "Stop Stitching"
Conscious rappers and whistle blowers get stitches made of acupuncture needles and marionette
strings

There is a war going on for your mind

Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them
The desert sky is their blue screen
They superimpose explosions
They shout at you
"Pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain
Nor the craters beneath the draped flags
Those hoods are there for your protection
And meteors these days are the size of corpses"

There's a war going on for your mind

We are the insurgents

FLOBOTS LYRICS



"Mayday!!!"

MAYDAY!!!!
Born in the flood
Bloody fingerpaint sets
Blackmarketed fresh
Water canons forget me not
Epitaph airbrush with death
White t's
Wife beaters
Button up
Reattach flesh

In between the lines
Outside of the law
Underneath the veil
We dig our foundations
We navigate the globe
Trying to find a pattern to break the mold
With a family to feed
There's nowhere we won't go
But what if were caught
They say I'm a snitch
Shot at the check point
Found with his throat slit
Theres spray paint on the teleprompter
Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster
Mayday
There's bloodstains on his shirt
Mayday
They say that hes gone berserk

Sometimes
When I wanna shut out this world
Wanna rip up this page
Wanna pour out this heart
Wanna get up on this stage
And my lips become percussion
And my fists become the rage
And I pound on this table
Til it gives me something to say
Then I think about things that Ive seen
Right in front of me
That I don't wanna believe
Gimme one of these mikes
Lemme let 'em know
The way that it is is not how it's gonna be
Not if we don't let 'em get ahead of us
The present tensions no threat
It's just a fence across the path
That were already ready to walk
Rock solid footsteps
Let 'em put up obstacles
And prove that it isn't possible
Fuck that
We don't give 'em any weight
True liberty and freedoms at stake
Peace will never become pass
Live my life until my last day

It was half-past eight in the bat cave
When the cracks in the plaster collapsed
And gave way to gaps in the pavement
Mayday mayday
Put it on blast
For the passengers and messengers
'cause this is a disaster
Where the fuck are the rescue workers
Not far
Off pissing on a cop car
In the hall with a poptart
Sipping liquor in the rockbar
Everyone climb to the frontline
Lunchtimes cancelled
All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill
Onlookers passers-by brush off your shoulders
Shake off that rubble
Break free from your standstill

Signs of a better world
Causes we understand
Failures we expected to occur
And bring redemption for our sins
Safety from the crowds
In the shadows on the run
We write our own cider house
Rules to keep alive
Rituals that prove their worth
Search for systems we can trust
Rhythms we can lock into

This is madness salvage teams
Can't bandage
Hope when its damaged
Or broken compassion
Not enough rope in the van when
World is collapsing
Our mode of action
Broadcast through the glass
It's all we can manage
Donate with the plastic
Scraps from the salad
Hoping to balance
Emotions invalidated
And staged on 4:3 aspects
Just ballast for sadness
Lives shattered are standard
Fare for cameras and channels
Stare no abracadabras

No faster answers
Or mantras for disasters
Remastered and plastered
We got it all backwards
Do you know the faction your backing
It's another man down
Another mother gone
Child drowned
Another silenced song
Solitude
Another kind of strong
I miss you
Another strung along
Missing in action
Another page is blackend burned
Turned to ashes to ashes
Dust off the flags and the caskets
We will never find another you
Despite the life of love we knew
These lightning times are trouble who
Can't count the strikes that punished through
The bonds we thought would never break
And never will and never change and never fade
But there is the rage
Of losing you to their mistakes

In between the lines
Signs of a the next movement
Refuge from the crowd
Outside of the law
Causes we understand
Hands that trace
Instructions for descendants in the
Shadows on the run
Underneath the veil
Failures we expected to
Occur and bring redemption for our sins
In between the lines

"Same Thing"

[Verse 1]
Somewhere between prayer and revolution
Between Jesus and Huey P. Newton
That's where you find Jonny 5 shoot shootin
Water guns at the audience while ya scootin'
Your gluteous max due to the fact that I'm tootin'
On the horn gonna warn you that I'm rootin'
For the other team in the culture wars
So I stab the beast belly while the vulture roars

YO JOE!
Let it blow with convulsive force
Til walls fall off their false supports
Til Jericho's aircraft carriers alter course
And all brave young Americans are called ashore
Cause we've already lost the war they keep wagin
Splattering the streets in battles that keep ragin
Bloodyin each page of the story that we're studying
Each day the same just the names keep changin

[Hook:]
Saying the same things over again
Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been
We've been all over the globe on our government's funds
Leavin man woman and child dead bloody and numb
saying the same things over again
Repeatin the same slogans we don't know where we've been
We've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
Democratically elected but we didn't approve....

[Verse 2]
How many times can the line divide
How many wars to uphold some pride
Fears uncontrolled just swoll the tide
Of blood in the streets while the people die
Ima keep on tryin
Longs as suffering's multiplyin
And why not
Souls get tossed and left out to rot
My backs broad enough to help left your cross
As long as you help with mine
The process of healing will take some time
To see the pain on your face is the same as mine
Not a game or a race but the stake is high
We maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides
As long as it takes I"ll say it one more time
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time
As long as it takes I'll say it one more time

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
We need money for healthcare and public welfare
Free mumia and Leonard peltier
Human needs not corporate greed
Drop the debt and legalize weed
We say yes to grassroots organization
No to neoliberal globalization
Bring the troops back to the USA
And shut down guantanamo Bay
The same things over again
My throat's so sore from shoutin no war for the soldiers again
Lookin for cloud cover when the explosions begin
Lookin the crowd over wonder if you where we've been
We've been all over the globe Iran to Nicaragua
Guatamala Angola grenada
Dominican republic Haiti chile
It don't stop and it won't stop unless we keep say

[Hook]

Who let'em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz
Who let'em overthrow Mohammad Mosaddeq
Who let'em assassinate Salvador Allende
I didn't let them but they did it anyway
Who let'em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah
Who let'em overthrow Aristide
Who let'em assassinate Oscar Romero
I didn't let'em but they did indeed!

Don't let them assassinate Hugo Chavez
Don't let them assassinate Evo Morales
Bring back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar,
Hampton, Goodman, Schwerner, Chaney

"Stand Up"

Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Stand up We shall not be moved
Except by a woman dying from the loss of food
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

We still don't understand thunder and lightning
Flash back to when we didn't fund the dam
Didn't fund the damn levi? No wonder man
Now our whole damn city's torn asunder man
Under water but we still don't understand
We see hurricane spills over on the land
Through gaps you couldn't fill with a 100 tons of sand
No we still don't understand
We've seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in
We've seen flames send the chills through London
And we've sent planes to kill them and some of them were children
But still we crumbling the building
Underfunded but we still don't understand
Under god but we kill like the son of Sam
But if you feel like I feel like about the son of man
We will overcome

So Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Stand up We shall not be moved
Except by a woman dying from the loss of food
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

I said Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
Except by a woman dying from the loss of food
Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you
We shall not be moved
Except by a system thats rotten through
Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot
High treason now we need to prosecute

So Stand up
We shall not be moved
And we wont fight a war for fossil fuel
Its times like this that you want to plot a coo
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
So Stand up
We shall not be moved
Unless were taking a route we have not pursued
So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

I said Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up

Now shake, shake
A Polaroid dream
nightmare negatives develop on the screen
We sit back and wait for the government team
Criticize they but who the fuck are we
The people want peace but the leaders want war
Our neighbors don't speak, peek thru the front door
House representatives preach "stay the course"
Time for a leap of faith
Once More

Put your hands up high if you havn't imagined
Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon
Balls to the wall, Nose to the grindstone
My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown
So Place your bets lets speak to the enemy
Don't let em pretend that we seek blood
And who's we anyways Kemo Sabe?
Mighty warlord wanna-be street thug
a threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified
blow for blow never settles the score
word for word is time need clarify
We the people did not want war

So Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Unless were taking a route we have not pursued
So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

I said Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up

"Never Had It"

I see you sit
And swallow pain
For all of those
Who will not speak
You raise your voice
You fill the stage
Your eyes are wide
You know the weakness
That you've felt
Is not just yours
So many more
You're not alone
The song you sing is not your own
You fill the room with something real
Youve never had it so you hesitate to try and find it
You listen carefully for whispers of what lurks behind it
You play the corners
Never get too close to where it might be
Waiting for you
Never had it
Keep on wanting something more

Keep hiding the hope and than the pain is not yours
No ones holding a rope gotta pull up on your own.
All the songs have been sung
And all the doors have be closed
Keep on wanting more.

I watch you wander through these halls
You slouch you shrug you shrink away
I call you stop you blink you pause
You wander who
You think the day
Will never end
But when it does
You stay until the building's dark
You're on the bus
The doors are locked
You looked inside
But did not touch

Youve never had it
But you know how to provide it so you
Stand up and call for it
Nervous describing what you go through
You dont wanna get caught up in all the
Things they say to try to provoke you
Dont need anyone to tell you
Keep on wanting something more

"Combat"

No known beat that can keep me lonely

Combat to get you to bomb back

I know how to rip a mic different
I grip it like so
Tight like a kryptonite with a bike pole
Sparks from my lips ignite liquid nitro
No telling if it might blow

The environments' gotta be hotter
Than solder beside the iron
Zinc vitamins
Hide'em inside when i'm writing the rhymes
It's hard to keep property guarded
Because of these pirates

And i motivate
No debate
We're takin it over
Make no mistake
Youre fake and there's no escape
Cuz you got caught
Frozen waitin for the crosswalk

I can take it to another level
Where the bass is above the treble
And your face is in double
Evasiveness doesnt settle it
A place and a space
Where theres nothing to meddle with

Lyrical combat to get you to bomb back
Blonde, black, lets get beyond that
Sing songs that attack with strong raps
3 2 1 contact
Sans paddle we swim the long laps
Swans flap to get the pond packed
Want sass kiss my moms ass
Wrong tact convict you en mass
Take it back like linda ronstadt
Or luke sky with a twisted long hat
Ton ton fat subsisting on that
Tom tom high hat
Insist upon that
Listen to jon rap
This is combat
To get you to bomb back
Two fisted contact to
Get the pond packed
Cause I'm on some shit that exists beyond that
3 2 1

"Anne Braden"

[Spoken]
What I've realized since is that it's a very painful process but it is not destructive. It's
the world deliberation. And what really happened in the sixties was that this country took just
the first step toward admitting that it had been wrong on race, and creativity burst out in all
directions.

From the color of the faces in Sunday songs
To the hatred they raised all the youngsters on
Once upon a time in this country, long ago
She knew there was something wrong
Because the song said "yellow, red, black, and white
Every one precious in the path of Christ"
But what about the daughter
Of the woman cleaning their house?
Wasn't she a child they were singin' about?
And if Jesus loves us, black and white skin
Why didn't her white mother invite them in?
When did it become a room for no blacks to step in?
How did she already know not to ask the question?
Left lasting impressions
At a lesson, comfort's gone (?)
She never thought things would ever change,
But she always knew there was something wrong.

Always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
Years later, she found herself
Mississippi bound to help
Stop the legalized lynching of Mr. Willy McGee.
But they couldn't stop it,
So they thought that they'd talk to the governor about what'd happened
And say, "We're tired of being used as an excuse to kill black men."
But the cops wouldn't let 'em past
And these women, they struck 'em as uppity
So they hauled 'em all off to jail
And they called in protective custody.
Then from her cell
She heard her jailers
Grumblin' about "outsiders".
When she called 'em out
And said she was from the south, they shouted,
"Why is a nice, Southern lady makin' trouble
For the governor?"
She said, "I guess I'm not your type of lady,
And I guess I'm not your type of Southerner,
But before you call me traitor,
Well it's plain as just to say (?)
I was a child in Mississippi
but I'm ashamed of it today."

She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
[Spoken] And, all of a sudden, I realized I was on the other side

Imagine the world that you're standing within
All of your neighbors, they're family-friends.
How would you cope facing the fact
The flesh on their hands was tainted with sin?
She faced this every day.
People she saw on a regular basis;
People she loved, in several cases;
People she knew were incredibly racist.
It was painful, but she never stopped loving them,
Never stopped callin' their names
And she never stopped being a Southern woman
And she never stopped fighting for change.
And she saw that her struggle was
in the tradition of ancestors never aware of her (?)
It continues today:
The soul of a Southerner
born of the other America.

She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.
She always knew there was somethin' wrong.

[Spoken]
What you win in the immediate battles is little compared to the effort you put into it but if
you see that as a part of this total movement to build a new world, you know what could be
(?? "oooh, ooooh"). You do have a choice. You don't have to be a part of the world of the
lynchers. You can join the other America. There is another America!

45 - Shinedown

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
Keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
45
Staring down the barrel of a 45

All out of love - Westlife feat. Delta Goodrem


All Out Of Love
Westlife feat. Delta Goodrem
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Chorus

Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

Chorus(3x)
