Funkit

Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen Citizens of the groove When the news gets strange And the bills get bigger And your thinker won’t quit stinkin’ There is only one thing left to do Funk it

Alarm clock screaming like the world’s on fire Everybody selling doom for a dollar higher Talking heads twitching on a flat-screen wall Nobody knows nothing but they know it all

Got a pocket full of worry and a head full of noise Every false prophet got a brand-new toy Left shoe missing and the rent’s due too Whole wide world gone cuckoo

You can clench your fist You can bite your lip You can try to make sense of a sinking ship Or you can shake that doubt till it falls off your bones Let the rhythm take over and carry you home

Funk it When the whole thing’s shot Funk it Give it all you got Funk it When the truth gets thin Throw your hands up high and let the funk roll in Funk it When the wires all cross Funk it When you can’t stop the loss Funk it When it’s all too much Put some grease on your soul and strut

Boss man smiling with a snake oil grin Says work twice harder just to barely win Politicians dancing with a forked-up tongue Singing same old song while they rob the young

Your phone keeps buzzing like a bad tattoo Everybody wants a little piece of you Mind gone sideways, heart’s worn thin That’s when the real ones funk within

When the facts all blur And the fear runs thick When the whole damn system makes you feel seasick Don’t let the madness make a monument of you Drop it in the one and do what the people do

Funk it When the whole thing’s shot Funk it Give it all you got Funk it When the truth gets thin Throw your hands up high and let the funk roll in Funk it When the wires all cross Funk it When you can’t stop the loss Funk it When it’s all too much Put some grease on your soul and strut

Funk it to the left Funk it to the right Funk it in the morning Funk it all night Funk it for the broke Funk it for the beat Funk it for the people trying not to be beat

When the map ain’t true And the road’s all bent When your last good dime’s already been spent When your brain says no but your hips say yes That’s the spirit, baby Now funk that mess

Funk it When the world’s insane Funk it Dance away the pain Funk it Let the bad vibes spin We ain’t going down, we’re funking through again Funk it When the room gets dark Funk it Be the lightning spark Funk it When it all goes nuts We ain’t out of hope till the groove gives up

You can’t fix stupid You can’t preach peace to a chainsaw You can’t make a straight line out of a crooked age But you can still move You can still laugh You can still love You can still funk it
