lyrics

Would it be okay to associate?
Call it a game with no need to explain...

The very mundane things that became events in themselves
I'm being set in my ways of breathing fresh air, oh well

In your front room, I am watching you lose yourself
To the perfume while we circle the drain
Such an empty scene is mirrored in the way
It feels like MTV has taken MDMA...

With the very mundane things that became events in themselves
I'm being set in my ways of breathing fresh air, oh well

(Well, race is umm... Race is like, for this country, it's like the thing in the story, in the mythology that you have to do for the kingdom to be well, and it's always something you don't wanna do, and it's always that thing that's so much about you confronting yourself. That is tailor made for you to fail dealing with it, and the question of your heroism and of your courage and of your success at dealing with this trial, is can you confront it with honesty and do you confront it and do you have the energy to sustain an attack on it, and since jazz music is at the centre of the American mythology, it necessarily deals with race. The more we run from it the more we run into it. It's an age old story, you know, if it's not race it's something else but in this particular instance, in this nation... it is race.) - Wynton Marsalis

(Fast!, fast!, last night, I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch, was in the bed before the room was dark. Fast...! And YOU, George Foreman, all of you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him, all of you. I know you got him. I know you got him picked but the man's in trouble. I'mma show YOU how great I am!) - Muhammed Ali

With the very mundane things that became events in themselves
I'm being set in my ways of breathing fresh air, oh well
