Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Nod your head to this as a lot of apprentice
   Some of this were standing on the shoulder of giants
   Some tryants some benevolent
   To the followers it's relevant
   The rest get bent on lending opinions
   I'm sending to a brand new level
   I revel in completion I'd like to see the deletion
   Of the parasites, to make your load light
   Fool know rules but the rest keep bouncing back
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   With the lack of further adieu see
   As one can deduce we
   Kick out the jams, slam the *** out hard and long
   Cuz we got more song
   Something you might like now
   So check it
   All-star bound yeah your so sound
   Cool as the blue water all around
   From a force field flashing aliens are sending
   Black evolutions of love you are hearing
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   The dark supernatural is the world we call
   Our own home lightning in the mind comes out in song
   But we're wild they say never trust us we're shady
   In lieu of the crew your into we are baby
   Cuz music will be coming out the words we speak
   We erect breakbeats shatter wax still on the platter
   Our *** is badder we come fly then we scatter
   Cuz we deep and we solid yeah we hear ya holler
---> Drum Solo
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Electricity flowin' through is all that feels good
   Some time the only thing that really ever could
   Feed that hunger I crave it I love it I gave it
   I shove it in a battery and save it for later
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   A waiter in the Dorothy C. Pavilion in '89
   I met some wierdos and had myself a real good time
   Downtown L.A. is a soul graveyard
   Where you got to be hard or get jacked
   It lacked a certain sense of something
   Something basic no karma in the least I broke east
   You know I had to face it
   I guess I flaked but it was no mistake because
   311's got the boom
---> Play Riff 4 over:
   My mic check is giving me Electric company
   I can't see the high wide sky or stars above me
    Are you a flower or more like a high rise tower
   If so the soul of sweet delight on you will shower
   There's a place for us they say is somewhere
   Not a dream but a place and you will be there
   Your slippin' but content because your spirit
   And hills are alive with the sound of music
---> Play Riff 5
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   People never see the whole trip of life grab
   Knowledge man and all we do is syph
