Forget The Covers 03:34

I've forgotten all the cover tunes and remembered all my own And it feels so good to me to know they'll someday soon be known I worked so hard to nurture them, to see that they had grown And soon you will be hearing them beamed into your home I am in fashion, I am what's "in" I have the passion to begin So I threw out all the cover tunes and practiced all my own And got back to the meaning of the place that they had grown I am connected to eternal source I have the pulse, I got the Force

Fearholic, Dramaholic, Petroholic Gearporn, Fearporn, Oilporn I've come to realize, not to avert my eyes Cause no one looks at me Pretend to be busy Hey! Hey you, hey look at me Face to face, not face to book Turn your head and look Now you got the hook We killed the magic We killed the magic We killed the magic Sanitized, Legalized, Monetized Synthesized, everything's been Digitized Oh, baby you been Hypnotized I've come to realize, not to avert my eyes Cause no one looks at me Pretend to be busy Hey! Hey you, hey look at me Face to face, not face to book Turn your head and look Now you got the hook We killed the magic We killed the magic We killed the magic Hey! Hey you, hey look at me Face to face, not face to book Turn your head and look Now you got the hook We killed the magic We killed the magic We killed the magic

I got two shoes on my feet and one on my head I got three eyes on my face and one on my back I got two gloves on my hands and one on my nose I guess they say I'm crazy, that's how the story goes I got one foot on the street and one on the curb I got two flights up the stairs to carry the Word I'm a round peg in a square hole and it shows People call me crazy, that's how the story goes I got one ear on the track and one to the sky Listenin' for the signs of the comin' by Is it getting better, no body knows Being sane is crazy, that's how the story goes Being sane is crazy, that's how the story goes I got two shoes on my feet and one on my head I got three eyes on my face and one on my back I got two gloves on my hands and one on my nose I guess they say I'm crazy, that's how the story goes

Get your face out your phone, fool I need someone I can talk to San Jose gonna get you If you don't take your face out your phone, fool Your face is in your phone and there's nobody home There's people all around but I feel like I'm alone Get your face out your phone, fool I need someone I can talk to San Jose gonna get you If you don't take your face out your phone, fool There's a thing called real life - it's full of love and strife It ain't on a screen and it's waiting right outside Get your face out your phone, fool I need someone I can talk to San Jose gonna get you If you don't take your face out your phone, fool You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off Get your face out your phone, fool I need someone I can talk to San Jose gonna get you If you don't take your face out your phone, fool All around town, everybody looking down Swipin' up and down with a smile or a frown Get your face out your phone, fool I need someone I can talk to San Jose gonna get you If you don't take your face out your phone, fool You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off, You could just turn it off You could just turn it off...

Rona Rust, Rona Rust, why have you left me in the dust You said you'd never leave, but it seems it was a bust Now I'm sitting on a beach, and I'm wondering what the fuss I know there was a fuss, but it seems it was a bust Rona Rust, Rona Rust, why have you left us in the dust You said you'd never leave, but we see it was a bust And they're heading for the hills and they're heading for the plains They're sleeping on the streets and they're hopping on the trains Rona Rust, Rona Rust, why have you left me in the dust You said you'd never leave, but it seems it was a bust Now I'm sitting on a beach, and I'm wondering what the fuss I know there was a fuss, but it seems it was a bust
