I'd never thought I'd feel this
Guilty and I'm broken down inside
Livin' with myself, nothing but lies
I always thought I'd make it
But never knew I'd let it get so bad
Livin' with myself is all I have

I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time

Livin' in a world so cold
Wastin' away
Livin' in a shell with no soul
Since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold
Countin' the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away

Do you ever feel me
Do you ever look deep down inside
Starin' at yourself
Paralyzed

I feel numb
I can't come to life
I feel like I'm frozen in time

Livin' in a world so cold
Wastin' away
Livin' in a shell with no soul
Since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold
Countin' the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away from me

I'm too young (I'm too young)
To lose my soul
I'm too young (I'm too young)
To feel this old
So long (so long)
I'm left behind
I feel like I'm losin' my mind

Do you ever feel me
Do you ever look deep down inside
Starin' at your life
Paralyzed

Livin' in a world so cold
Wastin' away
Livin' in a shell with no soul
Since you've gone away
Livin' in a world so cold
Countin' the days
Since you've gone away
You've gone away from me

I'm too young (too young)
I'm too young (too young)

I. The Rover(Instrumental)


It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woah the songs to sing
When we at last return again, yeah
Oh
Oh

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Oh
Ooh

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
Oh oooh

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Ooooh

Oh, yeah


Oh, yeah
Here we go
Wanted to know, oh, oh
Sing out hare, hare, oh
Dance the hoochie koo
The city lights
Oh so bright
As we go sliding
Sliding, sliding, sliding
Through
Oooh
Oooh
Oh, all right

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 !

What if I told you that I think you're perfect?
Beautiful sky in your eyes, it's worth it.
I know you make me feel alive.

What if I told you that I'm in forever?
Nothing to hide, yeah, I'll go wherever you go.
You make me feel alive.

And I'll be hanging on every word you say to me.
Hanging on a feeling that I get,
'Cause you make me

Laugh a little louder
Love a little harder.

And I feel alive when I'm with you
Every time, it's something new.
Never knew what love could feel like
Until I walked away the first time.

And I feel alive when I'm with you.
Deep inside it's something true.
You're the only reason I fight,
You're the best thing in my life.

What if I told you that I'd never hurt you?
Always be there for you to hold on to.
I know you make me feel alive

And every single second's a lifetime memory,
I'll be holding on to each moment
'Cause you make me

Laugh a little louder
Love a little harder.

And I feel alive when I'm with you
Every time, it's something new.
Never knew what love could feel like
Until I walked away the first time.

And I feel alive when I'm with you.
Deep inside, it's something true.
You're the only reason I fight,
You're the best thing in my life.

And I feel alive when I'm with you.
When I'm with you

And I feel alive when I'm with you
Every time, it's something new.
Never knew what love could feel like
Until I walked away the first time.

And I feel alive when I'm with you.
Deep inside, it's something true.
You're the only reason I fight,
You're the best thing in my life.

Why—is everything so gray—is everything so strange
Is everything so thrown together by mistake?
Why—is everything contrite—is everything a plight
Is everything so insincere and out of sight?

Why—does everything seem wrong
Does everything look drawn
Does everything seem blasted like it don't belong?

I wanna make it a way—I wanna make it a waste
I wanna make it a gross misadventure
I wanna make you all!
I wanna make you all!
I wanna make you... lie to me... lie to me

When—did everything go bad—did everything fall flat
Did everything decay and lose itself so fast?
When—did everything succumb—did everything go numb
Did everything lobotomize what it's become?

When—does everything come back
Does everything relapse
Does everything save face and find itself at last?

I wanna show you the way—I wanna show you the waste
I wanna show you the worst misadventure
I wanna show you all!
I wanna show you all!
I wanna show you how to... die for me... die for me

I wanna give it a way—I wanna give it the waste
I wanna give it the worst misadventure
I wanna give it all!
I'm gonna give it all!
I'll never give up!
Lie to me... die for me...

Now—everything's a lie—everything's your lie
Everything's a face inside another lie
Now—everything's a side—everything's one side
Everything depends on just which side you're on....

Can you see like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
'Cause I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn
Burn you to life now
Out of the chains that bind you

Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
But I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

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***.

Yeeaah!

Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it, yeah!
Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need

Gonna check her out
She's my latest attraction
Gonna hang around
Wanna get a reaction, yeah!
Gonna take her home 'cos she's over romancing
Don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees

Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting
Yeah I'm waiting

Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
She was shakin' her hips
So that was all that I need
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard b****
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me

I'll crash my car, just for you
I'll burn my house down, just for you
I'll rip my nuts off, just for you
I'll max my creditcards

I'll sell my soul, just for you
But nothing's good enough
I might be the longer road
but I'd make it worth your while

When you're invisible, it's easy
When you're invisible, it's easy

I'll rip my eyes out, just for you
I'll slash my wrists up, just for you
I'll break my d***, just for you
I'll make my momma cry

I'll dip my hands in blood
I'll be your kicking dog
Point crosshairs at my head
I'll take it all

When you're invisible, it's easy
When you're invisible, it's easy

Come on, alright, alright

I'll crash my car, just for you
I'll burn my house down, just for you
I'll rip my nuts off, just for you
I'll max my creditcards

I'll rip my eyes out, just for you
I'll slash my wrists up, just for you
I'll break my d***, just for you
I'll make my momma cry

When you're invisible, it's easy
When you're invisible, it's easy
When you're invisible, it's easy

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked

Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, oh

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where
Now, I can't see, I just stare

I, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Hey, I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah

Oo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

Is something wrong? she said
Well, of course, there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so, who answers? who answers?

I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah, I, oh, I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Uh-huh
Yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So you got a new car
The music's blasting through the speakers
You won the lottery two days ago
You say it changed
Your life forever

You despise everyone
Who is not like you
You say that's the only way
To survive these days

You quit smoking
'Cause you said if you smoke you die
And became a vegetarian the very next day
Think that's all that's gonna take to make up for the past

(Chorus)
What you're gonna do with all the money?
And how you're gonna sleep at nights?
And where you're gonna go in the morning?
When you're gonna realize this isn't what you want?

So you just drove to the park
Walk in the dark
And remember how you used to be
Just you and the city
Where everything's real
Where the mailman knows who you are
And where there's always a place to go when you need to cry
Just in case you don't have enough reasons to go crazy

(Chorus)
What you're gonna do with all the money?
And how you're gonna sleep at nights?
And where you're gonna go in the morning?
When you're gonna realize this isn't what you want?

You say that's a perfect life
I don't want it
You say that's a perfect life
I don't want it
I don't want it

"The story of my life, man..."

And it's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile, since I first saw you
And it's been awhile, since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile, since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile, since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile, since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile, since I've gone and f***ed things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile, but all that s*** seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and f***ed things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile, since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile, since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile, but I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry

Looking around
Wondering what this is for
Sure it's fine but i don't think i need this anymore
I took down my self appearance
And i found the definate clearance
I'm getting bored
inspiration is drained
Till i see your face is boredom
beside me...

:Chorus:
Feel this
Once one more to
Make sure its not a dream
I can't stand here any longer
Please don't wake me up
Your such a perfect dream
of all i ever...
Wanted at all

Bringing me down
A flow as the glass hits the floor
Shattered pieces
It's not what it used to be anymore
Rided it out on broken pieces
Tell me now what is your thesis
I need it more
To make it through the day
Till i see your face is boredom
beside me.....

:Chorus:

I never met this dream...
Reality
Once I fall inside of you
Again its so hard
To keep my mind off of you
To keep my arms off of you

So unreal
So sureal

But,You're just a dream
You're far away
Boredom will follow around me again

Oh!
Oh!

What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama
What I've got, you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got, you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the loving upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free, love me, say "Hell, yes"

Low brow, but I rock a little know-how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart, get down with the pow wow
Never been a better time than right now

Bob Marley, poet and a prophet
Bob Marley, taught me how to off it
Bob Marley, walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me, can't you see I'm gonna cough it?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Ohhh, oh, yeah!
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper


Lucky me, swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility

My mom, I love her 'cause she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good, my brother gonna hug me
Drink up my juice, young love chug-a-lug me

There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on, everybody, time to deliver

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper


What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama
What I've got, you've got to give it to your papa
What I've got, you've got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now

Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
Give it away now
