I know most of you don't care about John. About what the purpose of his songs were and such. Most of you only like him 'cause of his one song "Scatman John - Scatman" that's understandble. That was a fun song, and John himself was a fun man. But a few days ago I just started actualy listening to his lyrics. I only then understood, after listening to him for years, only then could I understand what he meant in his songs... John... He was trying to change the world. He was trying to make a world without hate, drugs, crime. And he was doing it oh so well! Untill he died.I know this all sounds alot cheesy but... I guess I'm a cheesy person. I made this thread to share my thaughts with you guys. Here's one of his songs.
I've been checking out the structure of all I have done It ain't what I expected but it's what I become The stress I've created from the lie of my game Is not on the contract signed with my name Spoke to a prophet who was bored with the job Keep singin' and dancin' he'd be telling them off As soon as you're elected you're gonna be rejected All you've got is the moment
I'm sitting on an anthill here at the top My head's become so swollen I expect it to pop I'm looking for a hole in the wall of my spell There's gotta be a way a path to the way outta hell My plane's about to crash;I've been flyin' too high All that I can to now is surrender or die If there's anything I wanna say or want you to do Keep livin' in the moment
Live in the moment Life is for living in the moment Live in the moment Because it lives for you, yeah
My life's so exciting there is no life at all I'm trying to ride a tidal wave but can't help but fall Suspended animation ,I'm a puppet on a string A canary in a cage expected to sing Yo yo momma,here I am at the top And your little Johnny boy ain't ever gonna flop I try to keep my face while I'm keeping up the pace I'm livin' in the moment
Yeah I've looked everywhere and I still haven't found A new way of livin' that's wholesome and sound Where speaking is wordless and closed eyes can see Where all is at peace and we all can be free (yeah) Everybody's speakin', yet nobody talks And everybody's shakin' and awalkin' that walk Unspeakable treasures begin to unfold From stayin' in the moment
Live in the moment Life is for living in the moment Live in the moment Because it lives for you, yeah
Live in the moment ('Cause everything changes) Life is for living in the moment (Yeah, 'cause everything changes) Live in the moment Because it lives for you, yeah Yeah, 'cause everything changes Yeah , everything changes Live in the moment Life is for living in the moment Live in the moment Because it lives for you, yeah
