La Di Da   Goodness only knows   This future would be smiling (There’ll be no more children dying)   Once the goodness shows      La Di Da   Goodness here to stay   Once the music, the music   Music starts to play      I've got your picture in my brain   The real thing or a facsimile obtained   You’re the best friend that I have today   So for the children’s sake remain      Why must I live this way   Up and down and day to day   And when I swear I’ll stop it all   The same old shit and down I fall      Rise, rise but my bed’s so nice   Come daylight you cannot think twice   Out in the street there’s the heavy beats   And a chance to make my life feel right      Did they laugh at what you stood to say   Now that breathing comes the hard way   Keep your headphones on    Sing your favorite song   Let it carry you   It won’t take long      From the left to the right   With no compromise in site   Begs for common sense    The bill is on the fence   While the reps all say goodnight      Because the proof rolls across the street   The Bush’s plan cannot be beat   There’s a battleship   Going to set adrift    So the gas I pump stays cheap      So much emphasis on odometer readings   Get together say what you’re feeling   When thoughts collide, put it in the mix   You better get in line, better get your fix      From the look of your big brown eyes   I know that everything’s going to be alright    So let’s shift gears    From our hopes and fears   I said whacha doin’ tonight      Oh my goodness, did you know?   The time gets stranger as you grow old   Oh my goodness, look out below (the market shows)   My brain’s in danger of overload (My brain’s shares are being bought and sold)      The TV stations where all they show are   Manipulations of lies that grow   From these lies is all we know   But not music, music      Cause the CD on my stereo   As I press play tells me where to go   Is it up and down is it side to side   Are you feeling me when our thoughts collide      The record spins and my thoughts begin   I can make it stop and push it back again   With my tracks in line bout to get my fix   When these thoughts collide I put it in the mix
