[al:The Life Equation]
[00:11.46]I wake up
[00:12.46]Stare at the ceiling
[00:15.02]I'm alive
[00:15.48] But i don't know about that feeling
[00:16.82] My mind goes back to something that I felt when I was dreaming
[00:19.47] I kind of feel the way I used to feel when I was thieving
[00:22.27] Just like when I was dealing - hands clasped and kneeling
[00:25.39] Some creeping gnawing sickness in my belly leaves me reeling
[00:27.97] I feel the layers peeling
[00:29.46] I'm searching for a meaning
[00:30.83] I know I'm on a journey so i don't stop believing
[00:33.62] I get up
[00:34.56] It's bloody freezing and I'm shivering
[00:36.61] I look out side and down the street a postman is delivering
[00:39.22] Bad news from bad folks to witless human wreckage
[00:42.30] There's knocking at my door and I don't want to get the message
[00:45.01] So I switch on the stereo, Radio 4
[00:47.64] Some dick some where trying to start a war
[00:50.41] Terry Wogan wants a little money for the poor
[00:53.32] The weatherman says it wont be sunny anymore
[00:56.10]I might not be here in the morning baby
[01:00.59] Dropped off far away
[01:02.40] In the middle where the light's all gone, and the cops won't come
[01:06.03] Can't keep holding on
[01:07.92] I might not be here in the morning baby
[01:11.83] Dropped off far away
[01:13.58] In the middle where the light's all gone, and the cops won't come
[01:17.31] Cant keep holding on
[01:53.17]Sorry baby
[01:53.93]We aint spoken in a minute
[01:55.36]I know that we're at war and that I promised you we'd win it
[01:57.98]From the fire to the skillet
[01:59.42]But I'm not in denial
[02:00.76]I had to look away for a little while
[02:03.24]I know it my heart
[02:04.53]I can taste it my bile
[02:05.83]I feel it my gullet like when crocodiles smile
[02:08.55] They all grinning, and they aint winning
[02:10.56] They won
[02:11.06] It's obvious
[02:11.70] While you're all online hanging out for the apocalypse
[02:14.00] Apocalypse, apocalypse, now, now
[02:16.64] There won't no Superman be saving your Metropolis
[02:19.37] Wow, scared
[02:20.71] It's that time already
[02:22.33] The fat lady done sung like Freddie
[02:24.71] Eddie Vedder better f**k off
[02:26.18] This aint the time to whine
[02:27.85] Ah come on baby, hit me one more time
[02:29.93] Till my spine turns to slime
[02:31.38] And my mind just dissipates
[02:32.99] And all that's left is my breath to obliterate
[03:28.99][02:35.06]It was written in alley
[03:30.18][02:36.57] It was written on the roads
[03:31.60][02:38.16] It was on the television
[03:32.73][02:39.34] So that everybody knows
[03:36.54][03:34.02][02:43.18][02:40.52] They know
[03:39.16][02:45.90] And there aint no use in running
[03:40.75][02:47.49] There aint anywhere to go
[03:41.95][02:48.57] And there aint no point in tellin em
[03:43.65][02:50.35] Cos everybody knows
[03:47.20][03:44.59][02:53.90][02:51.21] They know
[02:57.03]Darkseid turned up, old Gods came back
[02:59.46] Lights off, there's no music in your Maybach
[03:02.15] Now you're feeling like a chump
[03:03.39] When your filling at the pump
[03:04.62]But we've been killing for an inning now
[03:06.29]Were giving we the bumps
[03:07.37]Happy birthday bebbeh!
[03:08.85]Hip hip hurray!
[03:10.09]I hope you have a nice day
[03:11.97]Now it's all turned to dust, I will kill you if I must
[03:15.23]I will help you if I can man trust
[03:17.35]But
[03:18.13]We're getting sicker by the second
[03:19.49]Clock is ticking and I reckon
[03:20.65]What we've written's gonna wreck em
[03:21.99]Cos its time to transcend
[03:23.31]Or pretend to ascend from this burial
[03:25.46]Like Ariel
[03:26.24]Like, here we here we here we go!
[03:27.76]Death by stereo
[04:18.23]Once upon a time, not too long ago
[04:19.65] There was a boy, Donovan
[04:20.74] Who decided to go
[04:21.43] To the park in Soho for to smoke a fat spliff
[04:23.04] The spliff was a gift from his old man
[04:24.47]"No sh*t!"
[04:24.94] Yeah sh*t mate, cos we're grown up nowza
[04:26.33] Donny had the hash wrapped, stuffed down his trousers
[04:27.96] Sat down on a bench, pulled the stuff out
[04:29.53]"Isn't that illegal?"
[04:30.47] I hear you shout
[04:31.21] Well, yes, yes it is
[04:32.47] Yes it is kinda
[04:33.12] But he heard that it had got decriminalized by the
[04:34.43] London cops who had enough to do
[04:35.99] What with all the murderers and terrorists too
[04:37.72]"Sweet", thought he, sat upon the bench
[04:39.44] Opened up the package and he marvelled at the stench
[04:41.05] Pulled out his papers and he made himself a roach
[04:42.76] That's when his mate saw boys in blue approach
[04:44.53]Donovan said,"hmm.
[04:46.71]I wonder what they want?"
[04:50.42]Two cops suddenly right up in his face
[04:52.54] Yet again the don thought"opposite of ace!"
[04:54.28] Dudes looked pissed off, young and amazed
[04:55.86] That he thought that he could smoke a joint up in this place
[04:57.60] So they searched him, checked him, cuffed him
[04:59.52] Found him on they database, booked him, tooked him
[05:00.78] Back up to the pig pen, but along the way
[05:02.44] Ran into another bunch of piggies who say:
[05:04.05]"What you doing with this lad then?" heed:
[05:05.86] They say:"had a bit of w**d"
[05:07.42]"Had a bit of w**d?
[05:07.91] And you aint letting him go?"
[05:09.02] The two young coppers say,"no".
[05:10.39]"That blows!" thinks he,"just my luck!
[05:12.25]Two pigs in the whole town that give a f**k."
[05:13.95] But he's stuck, they stick him in a van
[05:15.68] Drive him to the station and they march him right in
[05:17.25]Donovan said"
[05:20.08]I don't wanna go to jail"
[05:23.60]Donny went to court and looked a right state in his filthy trousers
[05:30.19] He got bail under condition that he went stay at his mam's house
[05:37.01] And observe a curfew to be home by ten on every evening
[05:43.47] They would check in randomly so there could not be no deceiving
[05:50.16]Safe, Donny was temporarily free
[05:51.95] Met his boys outside the court, went on a spree
[05:53.56] Then upon a three hour journey to his mummy's
[05:55.13] Very very soon this ceased to be funny
[05:56.67] Plus there was another urgent issue to be sorted
[05:58.34] If he went back to America, then he would be deported
[06:00.69] They don't like druggies
[06:01.76] (Unless they elect them)
[06:02.73] Anyway, drop the conviction, that was the order of the day
[06:04.87] In order to avoid a verdict he would have to pay
[06:06.56] An inordinate amount of money to a lawyer who
[06:08.29] Would write the courts a letter that would get them not to do
[06:09.96] Anything to the boy
[06:10.80] SQUASH THAT CASE
[06:11.55] Which they did which was ace
[06:12.96]So what did we learn?
[06:13.69] If you can't afford lawyers
[06:14.91] Don't smoke *** in public squares.
[06:16.72]Donovan said,"I won't do that again."
[06:34.96]Hello, it's That Zilla
[06:36.67] I'm concerned with a stone cold killer
[06:38.25]It been seen making old folks thicker
[06:40.02] It been seen telling kids,"drink liquor"
[06:41.78] When I was a little boy it made a lot of folks bicker
[06:43.54] Mind much sicker
[06:44.42] Increase ticker
[06:45.21] Sold them liver down the river
[06:46.63] Came with a pain giver
[06:47.82] Cry me a river
[06:48.70] Who told you,"don't leave your cake on the sill?"
[06:50.42] Who told the serial killer to kill?
[06:52.04] Who killed Bill?
[06:53.29] Who told tales?
[06:53.98] Who put wind in the ferryman's sails?
[06:55.52] Who put food in the fat man's gut?
[06:57.24] Who turned your daughter into a slut?
[06:58.92] Nama-nama-nama-na, I should war you
[07:00.71]It's that black box sitting in the corner
[07:57.93][07:52.54][07:03.36]I don't own a TV
[07:59.53][07:04.29] Be like me its fun and easy
[08:01.15][07:05.95] You wont leave your lover needy
[08:02.89][07:49.20][07:07.61] Try it if you don't believe me
[08:04.70][07:09.38] As if you really really need someone
[08:06.77][07:11.59] To tell you what to tell somebody else
[08:09.06][07:13.71] Save your self
[08:09.81][07:14.52] Get that book down off the shelf
[07:16.44]She's like,"funny that you mention it
[07:18.20] My bloke don't show a girl much attention
[07:19.80] It's rare that we do it these days
[07:21.15] Spend most nights in a daze
[07:22.58] Bathed in cathode rays"
[07:23.69] I'm like,"girl that's poetry
[07:25.24] Try a night without the telly
[07:26.10] See how quick you go at it
[07:26.85] Try a week without the thing and see how sick your poet is
[07:28.43] I bet you feel a whole lot better when you're rid of it!"
[07:30.43] I did not see the six o clock news!
[07:31.87] Or that advert about those shoes!
[07:33.47] If I wanna watch football I'll go to the pub
[07:35.28] If I wanna see a strip show I'll go to the club
[07:37.00] If I wanna be lied to my face by an obnoxious fat old white dude
[07:40.61] I'll go to f**king church!
[07:42.44] You dig?
[07:45.12]I don't own a television.
[08:22.80]He got it from his ma
[08:25.01] I said,"you owe her it"
[08:26.29] He said,"I bought the bar"
[08:27.49] I said,"you lowered it"
[08:28.69] He didn't disagree
[08:29.91] He just said"you should grow a bit"
[08:31.22] And got another bottle
[08:32.30] Left the jar with dough in it
[08:33.51]"Cheers," said the barmaid
[08:34.65] Sat on the barstool
[08:35.84] Lit up a cigarette
[08:37.01] He made a pass too
[08:38.31] Sang with the jukebox
[08:39.57] Looked, like,"wow.
[08:40.72]"I know how I feel about you now"
[08:43.54]Jesus was a lovely boy
[08:46.05] But I aint seen him lately
[08:48.10] Jesus was a lovely boy
[08:50.83] But I aint seen him lately
[09:41.83][08:52.89] Tell me have you ever been
[09:42.92][08:54.35] To where the men have never seen
[09:44.20][08:55.39] The mellow or the melanin
[09:45.40][08:56.55] The white bright light thing!
[09:46.73][09:36.81][09:32.38][08:57.92] Jesus was a lovely boy
[09:49.33][09:39.65][09:34.76][09:00.75] But I aint seen him lately
[09:02.96]Tap was dripping, I said"I don't like what's in the water,
[09:05.22] Them two pound chickens got me tripping, I should cross the border
[09:07.69] I don't talk to Sun reporters"
[09:08.92] She says,"maybe Don you oughta
[09:10.10] Or number one you ought get your flipping house in order."
[09:12.70] I'm like,"psyche!"
[09:13.84] Get on my bike
[09:14.69] Bobble cross the cobbles
[09:16.07] Then I - swoosh - through the red lights
[09:17.38] Lit up by headlights, wrong way on the motorway
[09:19.66] I like the way pollution 'luminates the MIA
[09:22.36] I am not cute!
[09:23.26] They cased me in bars
[09:24.54] I'm short arsed and bloodied and covered in scars
[09:27.18] Ah, I guess I'm doing alright
[09:29.00] And though I might not fight
[09:30.47] But I'll probably bite
[09:31.83] Aight?
[10:36.07]This is Adam N, f**k who I'm badder than
[10:37.47] F-freaked-out and I'm m-m mad again
[10:39.32] Can't breathe shouldn't tightened that belt
[10:41.44] But my bed's made and I play what I'm dealt
[10:43.42] So I smile at the minds on the street
[10:45.23] And I'm watched the whole while by The Swine
[10:46.69] I'm complete
[10:47.13] Now the world is a stage and I'm acting
[10:48.70] Look at all the viewers I'm attracting
[10:50.13] Stall seats packed in
[10:51.11] As the light burns low and the sea dries up
[10:52.95] Where the phones don't ring and the bones pile up
[10:54.85] And the clown sings,"it's a popularity contest
[10:57.41]You just gotta put it in context"
[10:58.97] It's not like history needs repeating
[11:00.75] I'm so blind I can't see what I'm eating
[11:02.70] Dead in the middle of this epiphany
[11:04.52] Riddle me this, bro
[11:05.52] Are we in trouble here or did we miss go?
[11:06.79]Don't forget to pass go, and collect all your dough
[11:08.53] Cos the whole world's chasing the same pot of gold
[11:10.53] We just take different roads in our pursuit for happiness
[11:12.75] Some drink alcohol, some smoke ****
[11:14.57] But you've got to have a plan in this
[11:16.36] Cos you could be deaf or blind
[11:17.30] And still not talentless
[11:18.45] I'm about my dough I roll with them savages
[11:20.38] Better let go of that Sword of Damocles
[11:22.33] Think sh*t's not irrelevant?
[11:23.50] Stop being arrogant
[11:24.34] Fam, I'm in my element
[11:25.28] I'm way too intelligent
[11:26.27] The brain of an elephant, I don't forget sh*t
[11:28.03] Now a black president's talking 'bout bring change quick
[11:30.15] Man
[11:30.76] I've been in and out of sh*t from the beginning
[11:32.44] Like man's living out a script
[11:34.01] Now the economy's falling
[11:34.78] Got people losing their homes now
[11:35.82] I'm equipped with the knowledge and know how
[11:37.41] To Show how
[12:01.70][11:53.83][11:46.04][11:42.22][11:40.05][11:38.33]Who's go the most money
[12:07.77][11:59.76][11:51.88] [11:44.25]Has got the authority
[12:25.03]Switch on the PC got an email from this lady who
[12:28.07] Said she lost her baby she went crazy
[12:30.13] She was ready to kill herself, serious
[12:32.26] Go end the whole thing
[12:33.43] Until she heard oh what a glorious thing
[12:36.22] My mother wrote me said she loves her first son
[12:39.01] I got a letter from my dad he says he loves my new song
[12:41.68] My girl rings - she wants me meet
[12:43.28] I grab my coat and step out
[12:44.58] I look up, the clouds part and the sun comes out
[12:47.39]So I'll still be here in the morning baby
[12:51.81] Close or far away
[12:53.56]In the middle where the light comes from
[12:55.85] If the cops wont come
[12:57.32] I'll keep holding on
[12:59.19] I swear I'll be here in the morning baby
[13:03.04] Close or far away
[13:04.77] In the middle where the light comes from
[13:07.06] If the cops wont come
[13:25.85][13:20.20][13:14.31][13:08.59] I'll keep holding on
[13:28.23][13:22.62][13:16.85][13:11.26] And on
[13:29.79][13:24.07][13:18.26][13:12.71] And on
