No A 02:42
lyrics

No A I wake up in the morning And the last thing that I wanna do Is get out of my comfortable bed Of course I wouldn’t do it Unless I were forced to But I’ve gotta keep on paying my rent There’s no choice in the grind Except for getting ahead I’ve gotta leave my friends and neighbors behind I’ve had all I can take Of this never ending game I think I’m really close to losing my mind Seems work goes on and on and on Like this thing never ends Thought I might get ahead someday But now I know I’m just a slave No I don’t wanna go No, No I don’t really wanna go I don’t wanna go to work no more No A I get up in the morning and I don’t know what I’m thinking Cause I’ve been trained since elementary school Not to think But to stand in line and do what I’m told I’m more a product than I am a human Seems work goes on and on and on Like this thing never ends Thought I might get ahead someday But now I know I’m just a slave No I don’t wanna go No, No I don’t really wanna go I don’t wanna go to work no more No A No I don’t wanna go No, No I don’t really wanna go I don’t wanna go to work no more No A Work makes me crazy Wish I could quit I don’t want to end up homeless So I keep on paying rent Can’t fall behind Last place is no place here I don’t wanna be a bum On this losing race No I don’t wanna go No, No I don’t really wanna go I don’t wanna go to work no more No A No I don’t wanna go No, No I don’t really wanna go I don’t wanna go to work no more No A No I don’t wanna go No, No I don’t really wanna go I don’t wanna go to work no more No A

I Will Get By I’m just a little worried About how I’ll get by I quit my job today But I don’t have a dime My car’s a piece of junk And I can’t fix it up I left it in the ditch I’ll have to ride the bus I hope my roommates cool That I can’t pay the rent If I can’t keep my room I’ll take the basement I eat a lot of food I only eat organic I’ll need a lot of money On my food stamps I live in a world that runs on money but I’m not workin’ anymore because I don’t want to and And I, I will get by (how will I pay the rent, how will I buy my clothes?) So what, whatever, whatever, who cares I think it all just hit me That I don’t have plan Maybe I should beg And get my job back Naw there's no goin' back that workin' life don't fit me somethin' will come along and work itself out I live in a world that runs on money but I’m not workin’ anymore because I don’t want to and And I, I will get by (how will I pay the rent, how will I buy my clothes?) So what, whatever, whatever, who cares And I, I will get by (how will I get around even busses aren’t free?) So what, whatever, whatever, who cares Aww man, what was I thinkin’ I can’t quit my job How am I gonna pay the rent? I live in a world that runs on money but I’m not workin’ anymore because I don’t want to and And I, I will get by (how will I pay the rent, how will I buy my clothes?) So what, whatever, whatever, who cares And I, I will get by (how will I get around even busses aren’t free?) So what, whatever, whatever, who cares And I, I will get by (how will I pay for food, buy the latest i-phone?) So what, whatever, whatever

You Can’t Stay Here Hey friend can I talk to you For a minute I need to ask you for a favor I don’t want to work no more So I quit my job and I ain’t goin’ back Can I please stay here I don’t need a room, I can crash out on the couch You won’t even notice me I’ll be quiet and out of the way I can mow the lawn in the summertime And in the winter time I can shovel the snow I can start your car if it’s a little bit cold I’ll even walk the dog whenever you’re not home You said: Hey, Hey wait a minute Let me make just one thing perfectly clear I love you like a brother friend But if you can’t pay rent You can’t stay here Well let me ask you another way I’m alone here in Denver and I don’t have nowhere else to stay I’ll be out on the street With nothing but the clothes on my back I can mow the lawn in the summertime And in the winter time I can shovel the snow I can start your car if it’s a little bit cold I’ll even walk the dog whenever you’re not home You said: Hey, Hey wait a minute Let me make just one thing perfectly clear I’ve known you for a long time friend But if you can’t pay rent You can’t stay here Hey, Hey wait a minute Let me make just one thing perfectly clear I’ve known you for just a little while And if you can’t pay rent You can’t stay here Life is full of changes You’ll have to find a new way to get by And if you wanted my suggestion I’d take the first job you can find And don’t you think of campin’ Out in front of my house on the lawn Cause it’s illegal here in Denver So please, please, just move along

Sleep Where I Want I walk around just to find a place to rest But there ain’t no place for me I’ve got a bag and a pack is all I have Cause today even love’s not free I break the law every time I fall asleep Gotta sleep where I can’t be seen I’m down, down by the river and under a bridge I’m an outlaw just because I exist I feel the night rollin’ in It’s cold again I better put my tent up somewhere Maybe up in your front yard, cause I will sleep where I want You can make the law against me I walked away cause it all seemed like a game Like a game I didn’t want to play You can’t charge me rent my life is free to have Under the stars I’m a child of the land I feel the night rollin’ in It’s cold again I better put my tent up somewhere Maybe up in your front yard, cause I will sleep where I want You can make the law against me, I said I will sleep where I want You can make the law against me I said: I will sleep where I want You can make the law against me, I said I will sleep where I want You can make the law against me, I said I will sleep where I want You can make the law against me, I said

Elon Musk On the street and now I Know what it’s like to be down and out With nothing left and Nowhere to go, no place to call my home I’m walking through the cold in silence Wanting so much more It's how I feel that got me here I couldn't deal with the pain so I had to walk away And find myself out Under the stars or living under a bridge I'm empty all the same Still searching for some reason here Then in the sky appeared a cloud that looked like a face And then it said: I’m Elon Musk, I’m Elon Musk And I'm tellin’ you to build a spaceship Elon Musk, I’m Elon Musk And I'm tellin’ you to build a spaceship Don’t worry if it flies Elon sent me out on a mission I’m low enough now I think I’ll listen He said, build a spaceship I don’t really know how but I’m listenin’ now I’ll make a great design I’ll build a spaceship that can fly Cause I remember when Elon appeared to me And then he said: I’m Elon Musk, I’m Elon Musk And I'm tellin’ you to build a spaceship Elon Musk, I’m Elon Musk And I'm tellin’ you to build a spaceship Don’t worry if it flies I’ll help you get it to the sky I’m Elon Musk, I’m Elon Musk And I'm tellin’ you to build a spaceship Elon Musk, I’m Elon Musk And I'm tellin’ you to build a spaceship Don’t worry if it flies I’ll help you build a ship that blasts off to outer space and beyond But first we’ll go to Mars and build ourselves a colony Our second home

Take 10 Grams Let me show you New methods of travel We are the spaceship Prepare for blast off We don’t need no rocket fuel To push it past the limit The magic is inside of you And mushrooms are the ticket Take enough You’ll need 10 grams to get you there If you’ve had failed attempts It’s just because you got scared Blast right through the atmosphere and see the other side A trip that lasts forever it’s the psychedelic ride Just take 10 grams and sing a song Hold onto your seat you’ll blast off to hyper space and beyond And don’t go far For someone to dose you Grow em yourself Invite someone that you’re close to The secrets in the dosage and to take em all at once Remember you're on mushrooms in 6 hours you’ll be done Just take 10 grams and sing a song Hold onto your seat you’ll blast off to hyper space and just Take 10 grams and sing a song Hold onto your seat you’ll blast off to hyper space and beyond Just take 10 grams and sing a song Hold onto your seat you’ll blast off to hyper space and just Take 10 grams and sing a song Hold onto your seat you’ll blast off to hyper space and beyond Just take 10 grams and sing a song Hold onto your seat you’ll blast off to hyper space and beyond

Secret Inside The Mushroom I finally took the full amount I needed to Now magic mushrooms are fun Time slowed down stopped and then went backwards Back and forth so fast I took off All of the answers to life became crystal clear Psychically transferred and known I faded in and out of knowing all of it The psychedelic show There’s somethin’ words can’t say But easy to see for yourself When you eat mushrooms Make sure take enough Cause there’s a secret inside of the mushroom And I’d love to tell you what it’s about I returned to earth knowing of consciousness And yeah it’s true we’re all one Space and time are an illusion serving purpose So don’t, don’t try to hard it’s all done There’s somethin’ words can’t say But easy to see for yourself When you eat mushrooms Make sure take enough Cause there’s a secret inside of the mushroom And I’d love to tell you what it’s about There’s a secret inside of the mushroom But you’ve gotta take enough to find out Cause there’s a secret inside of the mushroom And I’d love to tell you what it’s about There’s a secret inside of the mushroom But you’ve gotta take enough to find out
