0:45Hear me out it ain't easy but I'll try to explain
0:48Everything in the world gets labeled and named
0:50A box a rough definition unavoidable
0:53Who picked the label doesn't want to be responsible
0:55Truth you're the warden here's the keys to the prison
0:57You create your own box you don't have to listen
1:00To any of the label makers printing your obituary
1:13Here's an example
1:14If Joe Blow says yo you paint like Caravaggio
1:17You'll respond no that's an insult Joe
1:19I live in a vacuum I ain't coppin' no one
1:23Listen up son
1:27Everyone creating is a member of the family
1:29Passing down genes and ideas in harmony
1:31The players and the cynics might be thinking it's odd
1:33But if you rewind the tape we're all copying god
1:36Copying god copying god
1:41Copying god copying god
1:43Add your own piece but the puzzle is god's
2:07Paying interest on the bills of late but
2:09I just can't seem to remember the dates
2:11I lay low and turn off the lamps
2:14Come on over you can lick the stamps and
2:16We could put together a portfolio and
2:19Sing hallelujah in stereo
2:21If we find a baby let her into the hold but
2:24Keep the car running on molten gold
2:27We got fever and there ain't no cure girl
2:29Take out insurance if you ain't too sure girl
2:32We do things that lovers do well
2:34Never have to ever hear the rings of school bells
2:37Plaid jeans no cellular phone
2:39All the time in the world no twilight zone
2:42My time is mine and they know they can't get it
2:44J. B. told me you got to hit it and quit it
3:00I'm never gonna go where you want me to go 'cause
3:03I got feelings that you just don't know and you can
3:06Listen up if you want to hear
3:08And if you can't stand it then right here
3:21The name of the tune is Cool Hand Luke 'cause
3:24I got stripes on my pants and boots
3:27In prison you could learn a lesson
3:29From the analog to the hot box session
3:32Listen
Hear me out it ain't easy but I'll try to explain Everything in the world gets labeled and named A box a rough definition unavoidable Who picked the label doesn't want to be responsible Truth you're the warden here's the keys to the prison You create your own box you don't have to listen To any of the label makers printing your obituary Here's an example If Joe Blow says yo you paint like Caravaggio You'll respond no that's an insult Joe I live in a vacuum I ain't coppin' no one Listen up son Everyone creating is a member of the family Passing down genes and ideas in harmony The players and the cynics might be thinking it's odd But if you rewind the tape we're all copying god Copying god copying god Copying god copying god Add your own piece but the puzzle is god's Paying interest on the bills of late but I just can't seem to remember the dates I lay low and turn off the lamps Come on over you can lick the stamps and We could put together a portfolio and Sing hallelujah in stereo If we find a baby let her into the hold but Keep the car running on molten gold We got fever and there ain't no cure girl Take out insurance if you ain't too sure girl We do things that lovers do well Never have to ever hear the rings of school bells Plaid jeans no cellular phone All the time in the world no twilight zone My time is mine and they know they can't get it J.
