The bloody angle
The symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot
I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you
No pun intended
No punishment
If I offended you, you needed it!
Ideas are the bombs in your mind
A fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon,
You can't have mine!

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil, but I won't be your hero!

The catatonic,
The sacrilege,
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My god has a need to react,
Its as simple as that
It's better just to settle
Than face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if i feel the need

This face, is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

One thing that I can't stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a life times worth
Just to cling to one more day

No f***ing quarter
No premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man! Is a four letter word
It's really absurd
The hate isn't fake, its just inferred

Oh, I'm not afraid!
I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero
Another Zealot with the weight of the f***ing world.

Oh, I'm not afraid!
And I won't let you down as I hold you in
Your looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the Devil but I won't be your hero!

No sleep till--Brooklyn!

Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job ain't a job, it's a damn good time
City to city I'm running my rhymes
On location, touring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I'm willing and able
Ain't no faking, your money I'm taking
Going coast to coast to watch all the girlies shaking
While you're at the job working nine to five
The Beastie Boys at the Garden cold kickin' it live

No sleep till--

Another plane, another train
Another bottle in the brain
Another girl, another fight
Another drive all night
Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust
He's got his own room at the back of the bus
Tour around the world, you rock around the clock
Plane to hotel, girls on the jock
We're trashing hotels like it's going out of style
Getting paid along the way 'cause it's worth your while
Four on the floor, Ad Rock's out the door
MCA's in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
With dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back

No sleep till--
No sleep till Brooklyn
No sleep till Brooklyn

Ain't seen the light since we started this band
MCA, get on the mike my man
Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauch
But I'm M.C.A..
Like a lemon to a lime
A lime to a lemon

I sip the def ale with all the fly women.
Got limos
Arena
TV-shows
Autograph pictures and classy hos

Step off homes
Get out of my way

Taxing little girlies from here to L.A..
Waking up
Before I get to sleep

'Cause I'll be rockin' this party eight days a week!

No sleep till -
No sleep till Brooklyn! No sleep till Brooklyn !

There's no money
There's no possessions
Only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money
Take my obsession.

I just wanna be heard
Loud and clear are my words
Comin' from within' man, tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution
In your heart and in your mind, you can't find the conclusion
Lifestyle and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothin' but a lifelong lesson
And you're pocket book stressin'
You're a slave to the system, workin' jobs that you hate
For that s*** you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself, start thinkin' 'bout...

There's no money
There's no possession
Only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money
Take my possession
Take my obsession
I don't need that...

'Cos everything is nothing
And emptiness is in everything
This reality is really just a f***ed-up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out, it's a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions, they are never gonna fill the void
Take it away and learn the best lesson
The heart, the soul, the life, the passion.

There's no money
There's no possession
Only obsession
I don't need that s***
Take my money
Take my possession
Take my obsession
I don't need that s***.

Money...
Possession...
Obsession...

Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair and clock in,
You just can't win, just can't win
The things you own, own you now!

Take my money
Take my possession
Take my obsession
I don't need that s***.

F*** your money
F*** your possession
F*** your obsession
I don't need that s***.

Money...
Possession...
Obsession...
I don't need that s***.

You
It's for you
Only you
It's for you

I'll never know
I'll never care
I'll never believe my people
I'll tell you what I say
I'll never lie
I'll never try
I'll never cry for you people
I'll push you
Push away
As you lonely people
Keep on running 'round my door
Yes, you lonely people
Keep on begging
Beg for more
And I'll cry for you
Yes I'll die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Feel in my heart it's for you

It's for you
Only you
It's for you

I'll never try
I'll never die
I'll never push for you people

Yes you lonely people keep on passing,
Pass away

And I'll cry for you
Yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Feel in my heart it's for you
And I'll take everything
As it comes my way
Pushin' your pain 'round my door
And I'll I cry for you as I die for you
Is this blood on my hands all for you?

You shiver
And shudder
Recovers your mother
You feel it take control
All alone
Feel alive
In your soul

Come around town
Steal another dime
Take another line
Won't you feel it
Blanket your soul
Out of mind

Come around town
Steal another dime
Do another crime
Won't you get it higher & higher
All through time

Come around town
Steal another dime
Don't you push your drugs in my face
Yes, I feel it
Feeling fine
Don't you push your drugs in my face
Or I'm gonna put you in your place
F*** you
I don't want it no more
And it's mine
Said this pain in my heart is all mine
Yes, it's mine all alone

I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more

And it's mine on my own
Yes, it's mine all alone
As I cry for you
Yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart, it is real
And I'll take
Everything as it comes my way
Feel in my heart it's for you
And I'll lie for you as I die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now
How I feel inside
F*** you
It's for you

It’s down to this
I’ve got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I’ve done

I miss the life
I miss the colors of the world
Can anyone tell where I am

'Cause now again I’ve found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I’m so far down away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I’m over this
I’m tired of livin’ in the dark
Can anyone see me down here

The feeling’s gone
There’s nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

And now again I’ve found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I’m so far down away from the sun

That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I’m so far down away from the sun again

It’s down to this
I’ve got to make this life make sense
And now I can’t tell what I’ve done

And now again I’ve found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines to light the way for me
And now again I’ve found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place

I’m so far down away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I’m so far down away from the sun again

And I don't want you, and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
And you can't smell your own s*** on your knees

There's no time to discriminate
Hate every motherf***er that's in your way

Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
When you live with apes, man, it's hard to be clean

The worms will live in every host
It's hard to tell which one they hate the most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It's all anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way
Old-fashioned fascism
Will take it away

Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
When you live with apes, man, it's hard to be clean

There's no time to discriminate
Hate every motherf***er that's in your way

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people

Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful and something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
When you live with apes, man, it's hard to be clean
Hey, you, what do you see?
Something beautiful and something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
When you live with apes, man, it's hard to be clean

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
The beautiful people, the beautiful people

There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say
There's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

There's a place where nothing seems to be
A simple night of easy life
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way
We got a million thoughts we can't complain
It's all your life, all your life

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

These things don't happen here, another fictional reality
It's all your mind, all your mind
It's just as good as any other day
I'm gonna teach you about mortality
Now it's not right, it's not right

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away

In many ways I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I'm a lot more roomier than most
I took my second chance, just enjoy the dance
And found out who we are
Let's find out what we are, never leave asking why

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories, the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away, I know why you're running away

Chill, light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
So while I scatter my spit, I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely 'cuz I told you so
You know, we glow because we throw sun rays
Yeah we be freaky and we wanna stay

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Lightning strikes, yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Because we're dope kid, change like a chameleon
And the channel whenever the wack show Real World is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers, on the wax we are self made
Check the technique, 311 in L.A.

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down, and
We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

You're the dark to light
You're never satisfied
You only know things
That will fail to be
The pessimistic one
Who sees the end to come
Every joy is lost to tragedy

And still you wonder why
You cannot find your peace today
Cause you were meant to live
For so much more than this
Now if only you could see

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You know it brings me down
The way you drag around
Your heavy heart just like a stone
Well keep your misery
Don't put it all on me
Cause I've got problems of my own

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
So keep your cloud of darkness
And doom off my parade
Here today

And if I could you know
I'd set off a spark
I would burn it out
I would burn it all the way
And purify your jaded
Cold calloused heart
Someday, I'll find a way

-Solo-

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
Someday I'll steal the spark
That will burn your doubt away
I'll find a way

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Tied to a wheel, my fingers got to feel
Bleeding through a tourniquet smile
I spin on a whim, I slide to the right
I felt you like electric light
For our love, for our fear
For our rise against the years, and years, and years

Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red

I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Deaf, dumb and thirty, starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscience wall
Blood is like wine, unconscious all the time
If I had it all again I'd change it all

Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, yeah

I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in

Got a machinehead it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red
Better than the rest
Better than the rest
Machinehead, head, head, head, head, head

I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Down on his knees he sees the devil weeping/whinging his tongue
Mr. Cadillac doesn't even know he's been fighting his own
He's been trying shooting all the angels/devils inside
Playing around with the good and the evil in his mind
Alone in the desert and cold so cold

Driving back to the 10 house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

Welcome to a world of chaos, you've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the 10 house tale 7 shots in the night

Standing in the dark and shaking my own hand for a while
Saw the angel/devil vanished out in the light
Breathing new air for a day to begin
Soulless body with an empty shell
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

The price was high to pay and the memories are all crying like a child
A reason for all the blood that leaked, and a call up for the wild
Follow me to relentless street where all pain and love will die
7 shots in the body fakes well the loaded mind

Driving back to the 10 house city something is wrong
He found the killer weapon in his car on the floor
Delusional the blood lost paint his mind in a cave
Feeding monsters in the back of his head
Killer, ripper, who are you
Take a look into the mirror then you will know
Heaven fire up my blood I'm waiting for something that's better

Welcome to a world of chaos, you've been caught in the light
Saw the door to the 10 house tale 7 shots in the night

It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, oh, oh

And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days that deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand, uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand, now do you understand?

So tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, oh, oh

One thousand miles away, there's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice, this world is too much noise
It takes me under, it takes me under once again

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

So tell me now if this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, oh, oh

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, oh, oh
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no, oh, oh

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feeling, thieving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie)
You bought the same old

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie beyond)
You bought the same old trip

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'?
It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin'
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my home
and I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'?
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my home
and I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise
