Lyrics

Does it start all at once
Or come as slow as can be?
It's not about you and me
And never mind what it costs
At least it's not make believe
We can get it for free
But to get love
You have got to give love
Somehow, I got your love
Was it meant to be?
Your love is my drug
I've overdosed
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah
Your love is fatal
Planning an overdose
An overdose
Just like in the books
The voices spoke unto me
Words as clear as can be
They say: "no one can take it away
Nothing can come in between
You can't steal something that's free," yeah
But to get love
You have got to give love
Somehow, I got your love
Was it meant to be?
Your love is my drug
I've overdosed
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah
Your love is fatal
Planning an overdose
An overdose
And in the end, I found peace
Don't know why you would choose me
And in the end, I found peace
My darling drug, you kill me
Don't think we're meant to go it alone
I could be wrong, but I'll wait and see
Get caught up when you're singing along
An overdose would come naturally
It might sound mean, but don't get me wrong
If I'm a slave, I don't wanna be free
I get fucked up when you sing along
An overdose would come naturally
Your love is my drug
I've overdosed
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah
Your love is fatal
Planning an overdose
An overdose
Your love is my drug (Don't think we're meant to go it alone)
I've overdosed (I could be wrong, but I'll wait and see)
I'm right where I'm supposed to be, yeah (Get caught up when you're singing along)
Your love is fatal (An overdose would come naturally)
Planning an overdose (It might sound mean, but don't get me wrong)
An overdose (If I'm a slave, I don't wanna be free)
(An overdose would come naturally)
Spoken
When I really stopped to notice
What I noticed is that
No one stops to notice
Pretty doesn’t when tomorrow gets the focus
What a great idea and didn’t stop
To write it on my phone
I ran straight home
Unpacked the closet
Found my trumpet
Stole a bus and took my new friends to the mountain
Found a spot where everyone could see although no one was looking
Gripped the cornet, wet my lips and played my sad songs to the heavens
I played until my lips bled
Still I could not feel a difference
Till I looked up and I noticed
I had everyone’s attention
“Now that I have your deliberation
Let me formulate a most confusing situation
Set to stimulate and satiate our saturated notions;
Moving closer to the truth with no expulsions, segregations
As of now we are all a part of that machine they talked about
Don’t you remember that band Rage Against the Machine?
Let’s go deeper now than what John Lennon said about the war, and what would happen if no soldiers took the field;
If one and one is two; and two and two’s a billion trillion zillion
And the moon’s front screen projection
Super sacerdotalism
Bought and paid through hidden taxes
Through the power of inflation
If it’s all too much to handle let me tell you what I think
What I believe and what I hope for
What I’d fight for
And have faith in…
And that is love
Love sweet love
Yeah, that is love
Love sweet love
Love love love.”
Red heart
“If you think you already know all the answers
You could listen:
Seems the smartest men I know obtain the most important questions
And we’ve got to get it wrong along the way
Failure’s important;
Must get bashed more than a little bit to understand what pain is
Until we truly understand, have we a chance then to be free?
By free I mean devoid of pain
The absents of the guilt of shame, the mercy of the love of man
Humanity’s the truest name
But first we’ll have to face the truth, and that is where the pain comes in
Let’s start at the beginning
Start somewhere in our youth
Take everything we learned and that we counted on as truth
Kill all the messengers and simply kick the barrels over
Picture a world without answers, pictures carving, in our minds
Shattered debris of opinion
Instead of only freedom from the truth, there comes fire in our hearts
Metabolized into organized, truly democratized hordes and masses
Ranks and classes
Sane one’s and spastics
Your moms and your dads’s
Together we stand like a brick wall
We tower
And no longer we grovel
No longer we cower
We never apologize, why should we ever?
No one to apologize to but each other
No sir, Mr. President
No sir to your war
No sir, big prime minister
No, not like before
No thanks Mr. Pope, Mr. dictator too
No longer will we play in what you like to call games
For we realize that your way affords no peaceful choices
No virtue in walking your tightrope of peace-rape
We want nothing to do with your brand-new-world-order
I’m sure as we walk and work out our own path
We’ll figure it out on our own like we do
And did we ever need you?
Never needed you
We did it with love love love
Love sweet love
Yeah, we got there with love love love
Love sweet love
Love love love, red heart
Never needed you
We did it with love love love
Love sweet love
Yeah, we got there with love love love
Love sweet love
Love love love, red heart
Love love love, red red red, love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love
