It Goes Lyrics - Lucy Ford - Atmosphere

Now, when you come to apply for the job 

Don't tell 'em you're homeless 

'Cause I promise they won't hire you 

And if they like your songs 

Just nod your head and play along 

Never tell 'em what inspires you 

I bet my fans know me better than my friends do 

Because my friends don't pay that much attention 

The fans memorize every single sentence 

Which makes them far too smart to ever start a friendship 

I need to start writing pieces about other people's problems 

'Cause strangers are starting to get worried 

I'm in a hurry to try to slow the system down a bit 

And find happiness before I hit thirty 

OK, OK, I've said too much 

I wear my heart on my sleeve 

When all I need to do is write a hit 

Somebody shoulda showed me how to shut up and breathe 

'Cause there's a time and place to bite your lips 

It goes peace to phobia 

For the boots made for walking 

Now if only Best Buy could break me off with a Walkman 

Everything would be fine 

I could spend time smiling 

Instead of pulling a sad clown around this island 

I've got no suggestions 

Well, maybe one 

Leave my type alone when you decide to touch that microphone 

See, me and you 

We're on different pages 

We're in different stages 

We've got different flavors 

I'mma let you do your thing 

Just as long as your thing 

Ain't got a single thing to do with me and what I'm trying to bring 

But if my name crosses your lips 

You better guard your tongue 

Pardon me, give me my respect, and keep it all in fun 

If I had extra time I'd walk around and shake everybody's hand 

(Like, how you doin' my man?) 

But I'm not allowed 

I'm trying to beat the clock now 

So I'm out, right after I rock this crowd 

It goes: ola ola olaaa (yeah) 

Ola ola olaaa (2x) 

It goes: one two three four five 

Six seven eight nine ten 

And all I ever wanted out of live was rhymin' 

Either from me or an innocent bystander 

I wasn't that picky, just give it to me quickly 

Whatever it takes, to cook these cakes 

You wanna hear your voice but don't know nothing 'bout the breaks 

And it's obvious you haven't found your place 

Got me askin', 'Who is he?" 

"How did he end up in my city?" 

I'm the crocodile that the trucker tried to wrestle 

I'm the main ingredient from yesterday's special 

Close the hole and push that level 

I'll chop the head off the devil and I'll throw it at you 

And I'll be damned if I ever climb another tree 

From here on, the squirrels and birds can come to me 

From sun to sun and from sea to sea 

(Girl, they call me Slug, do you wanna make love?) 

Now all the leaders in the place, throw your hands in the air 

All the feeders in the house, throw your hands in the air 

All the thinkers here tonight, put your hands in the air 

Anybody we forgot, you can stand there and stare 

Yeah, you remember, tracksmart (?), off to a bad start 

The way I used to carry got buried in the backyard 

Caught between a scotch and a cinnamon Pop-Tart 

The bell doesn't work, foo, you better knock hard 

Line by line, I'm doing fine 

Ideas on my mind for my time 

Hail when my kind does leave behind 

They'll find that I was the one that died trying 

I would never trade the way I am for the way I'm not 

My crew is kinda popular, we get to play a lot 

And my son thinks that I am the coolest thing in the world 

'Cause he's still too young to fall in love with girls 

It goes: ola ola olaaa 

Yeah, you're listening to the cool sounds of Atmosphere 

Ola ola olaaa 

From Minneapolis, Minnesota 

Ola ola olaaa 

Givin' a shout-out to the whole world 

Ola ola olaaa 

And we'd like to tell all of y'all, it goes: 

Ola ola olaaa 

To y'all 

Ola ola olaaa 

To us 

Ola ola olaa 

Now band, shut up, let the bassman do his thing, shush 

It's like that and 

It's like that and 

It's like this and 

It's like this and (2x) 

It goes: ola ola olaa 

Ola ola olaaa (3x) 

It goes...
