I NEED MORE TIME, I NEED MORE TIME
I NEED LESS WINE, MORE PRESENT MIND
WE NEED A TRIP, JUST A QUICK HIT
ENGLAND? NEW ULM? AS LONG AS YOU’RE WITH
IF THIS IS MY ONE LIFE I GET WITH YOU
I DON’T WANNA WASTE IT BEING WASTED
I NEED MORE TIME WITH YOU
I NEED MORE TIME, I NEED MORE TIME
WAY LESS SUNSHINE, I MISS WINTERTIME
LET’S HAVE A KID, WE’LL STILL HIT IT BIG TIME BABY
I’LL GO CRAZY
IF THIS IS MY ONE LIFE I GET WITH YOU
I DON’T WANNA WASTE IT BEING WASTED
I NEED MORE TIME WITH YOU
I NEED MORE TIME, I NEED MORE TIME
I NEED MORE TIME, I NEED MORE TIME
I NEED MORE TIME, I NEED MORE TIME
I NEED MORE TIME, I NEED MORE TIME

I THINK I FEEL IT BUT I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT I FEEL
WHAT DO I FEEL?
YOU SAY YOU FOUND IT BUT I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW THAT IT’S REAL
TELL ME WHAT’S REAL
I PICKED IT UP BUT IT BURNED ME LIKE A STOVE. THAT HOLY GHOST
PUSHED IT DOWN MY DEHYDRATED THROAT LEAVE ME ALONE
I GOT BACK UP BUT I TIPPED LIKE A DOMINO THE PAINS OF THE GROWTH
I’LL BURN IN HELL IF I STUMBLE BEFORE THE THRONE. THROW ME A BONE.
I THINK I FEEL IT BUT I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT I FEEL
WHAT DO I FEEL?
YOU SAY YOU FOUND IT BUT I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW THAT IT’S REAL
TELL ME WHAT’S REAL
I DON’T BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING BUT I DO, NOW I SEE.
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WE’RE STITCHED TOGETHER WITH THE COMMON THREAD THAT WE’RE BREATHING
AND SEARCHING FOR REASONS
SO GIMME A REASON TO GIVE UP MY REASON
WHEN ONE MAN’S A DOORMAN AND YOU’RE MR. PRESIDENT
HERE WE ARE CALLING DEATH THE COMMON COLD
WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?
I TRUST THE NEWS LIKE WE LIVE IN THE TRUMAN SHOW
WE’RE HITTING THE WALL
SPOTTIN’ FLAWS MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I’M GETTING OLD
WHERE DID I GO?
THE DESERT SUN PUT ME BACK ON THIS TRAIL I RUN
I’M WHERE I BELONG
I THINK I FEEL IT BUT I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT I FEEL
WHAT DO I FEEL?
YOU SAY YOU FOUND IT BUT I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW THAT IT’S REAL
TELL ME WHAT’S REAL
I DON’T BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING BUT I DO, NOW I SEE.
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WE’RE STITCHED TOGETHER WITH THE COMMON THREAD THAT WE’RE BREATHING AND SEARCHING FOR REASONS
SO GIMME A REASON TO GIVE UP MY REASON
WHEN A TRAGIC MOMENT STRIKES THE INNOCENT

HEY TRUMAN, YOU’RE WASTED
THE LITTLE BOY & FAT MAN
OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT IS RAISING UP THE DEAD
THEY PROFIT ON OUR PAIN FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT
IF ONLY BIG PHARMA COULD RAISE UP THEIR DEAD
THEY FILL OUR POCKETS UP WITH DEBT
PUMP THE WATER FULL OF LEAD
AND TELL US WE SHOULD JUST GET OVER IT
THOSE BOOTSTRAPS WERE ALWAYS THIN
ESPECIALLY FOR DARKER SKIN
AND TELL US WE SHOULD JUST GET OVER IT
THEY’VE GOT OUR JURIES HANGIN’ OVER GREEN MEDICATION
LET’S TEACH ‘EM MEDITATION AND BURN UP THOSE SHEETS
GET RID OF ALL THE CHAUVINS AND ANYONE THAT’S OPEN
TO THE ‘BLUE LIVES’ CHOKIN’ THE FLOYDS AND OUR KINGS
THEY SPLIT US INTO BLUE AND RED
WRITE THE RULES SUDDEN DEATH
AND TELL US WE SHOULD JUST
GET OVER IT
GET OVER IT
GET OVER IT
GET OVER IT

BEGGING FOR MORE
02:56

I KEEP ON FEELING LIKE A BALL AND CHAIN
TO MY MEMORY, MY HEART, MY BRAIN
NO MAKING SENSE OF WHY MY BLACKS ARE WHITES
OR HOW THE MAN CAN TELL WRONG FROM RIGHT
I TELL MYSELF THE SWEETEST, PRETTIEST LIES
I’LL FIX MY WAYS AND MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT
BUT THEN I WAKE UP ON A HOTEL FLOOR
HOLES IN MY VEINS AND I’M BEGGING FOR MORE
I KEEP ON BEGGING FOR MORE
I KEEP ON BEGGING FOR MORE
I SEE MY NAME UP THERE IN FLASHING LIGHTS
CAN’T KEEP IT STRAIGHT IS IT DAY OR NIGHT
I WISH MY SOUL COULD BE SATISFIED
COME BLOW MY MIND AND TURN WATER TO WINE
MY THIRST FOR LOVIN’ KEEPS ON GETTING DRY
YEAH WHEN I’M LOW BABE YOU GET ME HIGH
I WANNA MAKE OUT ON THIS HOTEL FLOOR
GET YOU IN MY VEINS I’LL BE BEGGING FOR MORE
I KEEP ON BEGGING FOR MORE
I KEEP ON BEGGING FOR MORE
I KEEP ON BEGGING FOR MORE
I KEEP ON BEGGING FOR MORE

DESERT SUN DON’T TAKE IT ALL AWAY FROM ME
SAVE SOME SPACE FOR ME, I’M COMING ALONG
DESERT SUN COULD YOU BACK IT OFF A FEW DEGREES
I’LL DO ANYTHING YOU PLEASE, AND THEN SOME
I THOUGHT I COULD ALTER TIME AND SPACE
ENTERTAIN THE HUMAN RACE AND DO IT ON MY OWN
NO MATTER WHERE I THOUGHT THAT I SHOULD BE
YOU TOOK CREATIVE LIBERTY AND PUT ME WHERE I BELONG
IT’S WHERE I BELONG
I’M WHERE I BELONG
DESERT SUN COULD YOU SHED A LITTLE CERTAINTY
YOU’VE GOT ME ON MY KNEES SINGING ALONG
DESERT SUN YOU COULD LEAVE ME HERE WITH NOT A THING
AND TEACH ME EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE
I THOUGHT I COULD ALTER TIME AND SPACE
ENTERTAIN THE HUMAN RACE AND DO IT ON MY OWN
NO MATTER WHERE I THOUGHT THAT I SHOULD BE
YOU TOOK CREATIVE LIBERTY AND PUT ME WHERE I BELONG
IT’S WHERE I BELONG
I’M WHERE I BELONG
YOU DESTROY EVERYTHING
AND THROW AWAY THE KEY
I’LL COUNT IT AS A LOSS
I’M TRYING NOT TO FEAR YOUR HEAT
ACCEPTING WHAT I SEE IS WHERE I BELONG
IT’S WHERE I BELONG
I’M WHERE I BELONG
WHERE I BELONG
WHERE I BELONG
WHERE I BELONG

GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
WE DON’T NEED NO INVITATION
BUT WE SEEM TO MUCK IT UP
CAUSE WE’LL DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE
AND ONCE WE HIT THAT BOTTOM LINE, IT’S WAY TOO LOW
THEN YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN
THAT GOOD ALONE
WHERE YOU START TO KNOW
YOUR OWN UNKNOWN
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
HUMANS NEED EMANCIPATION
IN THE HIMALAYAS THEY’RE TEACHING MEDITATION
HANDING OUT THE COSMIC CURE IN ONE WORD (SHIRING!)
LET’S KILL THE NOISE AND FILL THE VOID
WITH BLISS AND JOY ON THE OTHER SIDE
IN ROOMS, SILENT ROOMS, YOU’LL FIND YOU, WE’LL MAKE ROOM
IN ROOMS, SILENT ROOMS, YOU’LL BE RENEWED AND IN TUNE
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
IT’S A COSMIC PROCLAMATION!
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
GENERATION AFTER GENERATION

DADDY’S WORKING IN THE CITY
GOT BILLS TO PAY AND MOUTHS TO FEED
MOMMA BOUGHT MY FAVORITE MOVIES
THAT I’LL WATCH AS I FALL ASLEEP
WHO COULD KNOW, I WAS BY MYSELF
THE GROOVES WERE GETTING LOW, SETTING IN LIKE INK
I PUSHED IT DOWN BELOW FOR A RAINY DAY
I JUST WANTED TO FEEL LIKE A NORMAL KID
I MADE MY PEACE BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN
THEN TAUGHT MYSELF TO MEDITATE
OM NAMA SHIVAYA HEAL ME
AND CLEAR MY HEART OF THIS HATE
WHO COULD KNOW, I WAS BY MYSELF
THE GROOVES WERE GETTING LOW, SETTING IN LIKE INK
I PUSHED IT DOWN BELOW FOR A RAINY DAY
I JUST WANTED TO FEEL LIKE A NORMAL KID
AS I SEARCHED FOR A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS WHEN I COULDN’T SEE
I RETRACED MY STEPS TO WHERE IT STARTED AND GOT SET FREE
NOW I’M FREE?
NOW I’M FREE?

YOU AGAIN! I TURN OFF THE LIGHT
YOU’VE BEEN THE BEST DAMN DREAM
I LOOK FORWARD TO AT NIGHT
IT’S ALWAYS YOU AGAIN
AND I DON’T WANNA MOVE ON
I GOTTA BAD CASE OF TREADIN’ WATER SINCE YOU BEEN GONE
BUT I KNOW IT MAY BE DIFFERENT YEAH IT MAY GO DEEP
MIGHT KEEP MY BUSY YEAH IT MAY BE SWEET
BUT I’M NOT STUPID, NO I’M NOT NAIVE
IT’LL NEVER BE YOU AGAIN, YOU AGAIN
OHH, SIMPLY IRREPLACEABLE
AND I CAN’T GET YOU OUTTA MY
OHH, GLASS WILL NEVER BE HALF FULL
AND I CAN’T GET YOU OUTTA MY HEAD
MY HEAD

LOSE A FRIEND, LIKE LOSING A LIMB
AN AMPUTATION OR A SHEDDING OF SKIN
I HEAR YOU CALLING OUT
TRYING TO HONOR YOUR WISH
BUT THE GHOSTS KEEP COMING
AND I CAN’T STOP NUMBING
I KNOW IT MAY BE HAPPENING
AND IT MAY BE TIGHT
IT MAY BE SOMEONE I COULD LEARN TO LIKE
BUT I’M NOT STUPID
IT’S JUST BLACK AND WHITE
IT’LL NEVER BE YOU AGAIN, YOU AGAIN

WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU
WHAT YOU GONNA SAY WHEN YOUR TIME IS THROUGH
I HOPE THE OTHER SIDE GOT THE MEMO TOO
I’VE BEEN WONDERING WHERE WE’RE ALL GOING TO
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT’S ALL A RUSE
WHO YOU GONNA BLAME FOR THE TIME YOU BLEW
WORRYING TO DEATH BOUT YOUR P’S AND Q’S
I THINK GOD’S GOT OTHER THINGS SHE NEEDS TO DO!
IF YOU’RE SO COSMIC THEN YOU WILL KNOW
IF YOU’RE THE SAVIOR THEN SAVE MY SOUL
BHAGAVAD GITA, GIVE ME THE WORD (SHIRING!)
WHO YOU WANNA SEE WHEN YOU’RE CROSSING THROUGH
A RUSH OF DMT MAKES YOU THINK IT’S TRUE
YOU WANNA DECONSTRUCT SO YOU FEEL IT TOO
FEELING LEFT OUT SO YOU’RE SINGING YOUR OWN TUNE
I WONDER IF THE WARS WERE THE WAY TO TRUTH
TEARING US APART IN THE NAME OF FOOLS
I THINK WE GOT IT WRONG SOMEONE TELL SUN TZU
THERE'S A SPECIAL PLACE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR YOU
IF YOU’RE SO COSMIC THEN YOU WILL KNOW
IF YOU’RE THE SAVIOR THEN SAVE MY SOUL
BHAGAVAD GITA, GIVE ME THE WORD (SHIRING!)
TO BE IS TO LIVE AND EXIST IN THE PUREST OF BLISS
IT’S NOT MEANINGLESS
WE’RE FREE, UNBOUNDED BY LOVE
IN THE OCEAN WE TRUST

What's It Gonna Take

IS IT WORTH WONDERING WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
IF THE WRITING ON THE WALL SAYS IT’S ALREADY TOO
IS IT WORTH WONDERING WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
IF THE WRITING ON THE WALL SAYS IT’S ALREADY TOO, ALREADY TOO LATE
IS IT ALREADY TOO, ALREADY TOO LATE?
IS IT ALREADY TOO LATE?
TRYING TO KEEP SOME HOPE
HOPING TO FIND A LITTLE FAITH
I’VE GIVEN IT A SHOT
BUT I MAY NEED ANOTHER TAKE
IS IT WORTH WONDERING WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
IF THE WRITING ON THE WALL SAYS IT’S ALREADY TOO
IS IT WORTH WONDERING WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
IF THE WRITING ON THE WALL SAYS IT’S ALREADY TOO
WHEN I LAY MY HEAD TO SLEEP
I WISH TO STAY INSIDE MY DREAMS
WAS SOLD A STORY AS A BOY
THAT GOT AN EXPIRATION DATE FROM THE HEAT
SURVIVAL MODE HAS ALREADY BEEN THRICE ENGAGED
WE PANIC DROVE THROUGH MALIBU FILLED WITH FLOYD RAGE
THE OVERNIGHT ACTIVISTS ARE GETTING SHORTER THAN A DAY
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN WE DENY THIS DATA SERVED ON A PLATE?
IS IT WORTH WONDERING WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
IF THE WRITING ON THE WALL SAYS IT’S ALREADY TOO
IS IT WORTH WONDERING WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE?
IF THE WRITING ON THE WALL SAYS IT’S ALREADY TOO, ALREADY TOO LATE
IS IT ALREADY TOO, ALREADY TOO LATE?
IS IT ALREADY TOO LATE?
