Livin' & Rockin' Lyrics - Soundsystem - 311

Fire is my method for destruction 

Leaving charred wreckage from my latest eruption 

Unpredictable, my erratic demeanor 

Bobbing and weaving as my mind gets leaner 

Though I'm trippin' on legs that stumble but I don't fall down 

You know I'm singing out things you mumble for a lack of resound 

Pissed off mist lifts to honesty 

Now come down motherfucker with your philosophy 

I'm at ease when I feel there's a breeze 

Give me a little please 

Aristotle I'm not but think of Socrates 

So are you ready for your lesson blood? 

Democratic, non erratic Socratic method 

We'll take away the pain 

We'll pacify the bullshit built up in your brain 

In times of change or the same old thangs 

As you maintain or rearrange 

Can't nobody do it like 311 

Fuckin' up competition 'cause there really is none 

Steppin' on your game from the first floor tore up 

Electricity, we store it up 

Can't nobody do it like 311 

Break it down, what it is, dedication 

Sending out gratitude like we laid it out on down 

Throw down, fuck the bullshit, we're still the sound 

Wild and lost speed mad 

A long way from sad 

Lookin' good like you should, you're bad 

An itinerant dimension mystic is your spirit see 

Like color absolute bodiless, indeed 

Casual kindred spirit past 

All the obstacles you're dealin' with at last 

The nasdaq, two puppies, baby needs new shoes 

Car alarms, your rent, wedding bells, the blues 

The tragic fucking comedy that was last night 

Unfolds to my inner devils sheer delight 

A pointless fucking banter in an endless bout 

With whiskey soaked frolic room tobacco mouth 

Then a sickening trip to what I call the elitist cesspool 

Beckoning all the sycophants and defeated yes fools 

Hung over, broke, and a round of apologies 

Now come down Martinez with the modern mythology 

Can't nobody do it like 311 

Fuckin' up competition 'cause there really is none 

Steppin' on your game from the first floor, tore up 

Electricity, we store it up 

Can't nobody do it like 311 

Break it down, what it is, dedication 

Sending out gratitude like we laid it out on down 

Throw down, fuck the bullshit, we're still the sound 

Can't nobody do it like 311 

Fuckin' up competition 'cause there really is none 

Steppin' on your game from the first floor, tore up 

Electricity, we store it up
