The Beat Lyrics

In the beginning was the beat

And the beat was strong

It was kicked around, stuck in the ground, pulled back up,

Stuck in an evening gown, tuxedo, bow tie

But it was still funky

And it went on and on

And on and on

And on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

Now I'm not on the same ways

But I'm gonna tell you what it was

You know the beat was here long before Noah

So it must a have survived the flood

Distant brother from upholstered wings

Started weeping in a homely star

Ever since then and up until now

It surely did a great big job

Hey heavy skinned brother

Look what you have done to the world

Through your misery

You brought joy to the world

Some think they want it

But it's after you have done it

Some folks think they got a brand new thing

But it's two years on and they…

Oooo that hurts

Hey yeah it hurts

Mmmm mmm mmm

Right on right on right on

I'm not trying to change one thing

Because time marches on

I just wanna put the record straight

And put the things where they belong

That is soulful beats that they hearin' so much

Must have begun some where

To be so strong in the house of people

I don't know coz I never been there

How do you think you can shout the blues?

When the blues not a part of the

Who's not a part of the blues

Not a part of the you

(Not a part of the blues)

What a better you

To the fight the pain you do

But don't try to name it

And don't try to claim it

And now, now, now

Hmmm mmm

It goes on and on

Goes on and on
