The Dynamo of Volition
½ÜÉ ÂêÒ®×ÈJason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With po-pole position
Automatic transmission with lo-ow emissions
I'm a brand new addition to the old edition
With the love unconditional
I'm a drama abolitionist
Damn no opposition to my proposition
Half a politician holding the mic
Like ammunition
And my vision is as simple as light
Ain't no reason we should be in a fight
No demolition
Get to vote, get to say what you like
Procreation
Compositions already written by themselves
Saying heck is for the people not believin' in gosh
[Chorus]
Good Job
Get 'em up way high
Gimme gimme that high five
Good time
Get 'em way down low
Gimme gimme that low dough
Good God
Bring 'em back again
Gimme gimme that high ten
You're the best definition of good intentions
I do not answer the call if
I do not know who is calling
I guess the whole point of it all is
That we never know really
I'm tryin' to keep with the Joneses
While waiting for guns and the roses
To finish what we all suppose is
That shit's so silly
Oh, fist like pumpin' and wrist lock
Twisting up a rizla
Kid Icarus on the transistor
Nintendo been givin' me the blister
I bend over take it in the kisser
Best friends are hittin' on my sister.
Try to tell them that they still wish-a
Cause she already got herself a mister
And besides that's gross to want to dis her
Didn't I say, didn't I say
[Chorus]
You're a representation of good versus evil
I do not keep up with statistics
I do not sleep without a mistress
I do not eat unless it's fixed with
Some kind of sweet like a licorice
My home is deep inside the mystics
I'm known to keep diggin' on existence
I'm holdin' in the heat like a fish-stick
And my phone it beeps because I missed it
I do not answer the phone if
I do not know who is calling
I guess the whole point of it all is
Fuck's sake, can I get a witness
I'm only a boy in a story
Just a hallucinatory
Trippin' on nothing there is
Living in the wilderness
With a tiger spot on my back
Living life of a cat
I just wanna relax here
And sing another rap tune
Driving off on your blind man's bike
You can say just what you like
Or nothing can stop you
[Chorus]
You're the best definition of good versus evil
[Chorus]
You're a representation of good intention
You're the best definition of good intention
[Repeat: x3]
You're the best around
And nothings ever gonna take you down
You're the best around

I suppose the ultimate purpose is
That we never know really
We may never fully understand
I'm tryin' to keep with the Joneses
I am attempting to keep up with the latest trends or societal norms
While waiting for guns and the roses
I am anticipating a significant event or change to occur
To finish what we all suppose is
To complete what we have been assuming will happen
That shit's so silly
That idea or belief is absurd and ridiculous
Oh, fist like pumpin' and wrist lock
A gesture of enthusiasm and excitement
Twisting up a rizla
Rolling a thin, tobacco-filled cigar
Kid Icarus on the transistor
Playing a video game on a transistor radio
Nintendo been givin' me the blister
Playing video games for too long has caused physical discomfort
I bend over take it in the kisser
I am willingly accepting a difficult or unpleasant situation
Best friends are hittin' on my sister
My closest companions are showing romantic interest in my sibling
Try to tell them that they still wish-a
I am attempting to explain that their desires are unattainable
Cause she already got herself a mister
My sister is already in a committed relationship
And besides that's gross to want to dis her
Disrespecting or criticizing my sister would be inappropriate
Didn't I say, didn't I say
I previously gave a warning or advice
You're a representation of good versus evil
You embody the contrast between positive and negative forces
I do not keep up with statistics
I do not follow or study numerical data
I do not sleep without a mistress
I cannot rest without a romantic partner
I do not eat unless it's fixed with
I only consume food that has been prepared a certain way
Some kind of sweet like a licorice
I prefer my food to have a specific flavor or taste
My home is deep inside the mystics
I find comfort and belonging in spiritual or philosophical concepts
I'm known to keep diggin' on existence
I am constantly searching for meaning and purpose in life
I'm holdin' in the heat like a fish-stick
I am keeping my emotions under control and not showing them outwardly
And my phone it beeps because I missed it
I have a missed call or message notification on my phone
Fuck's sake, can I get a witness
Expressing exasperation or frustration and seeking agreement
I'm only a boy in a story
I am just a character in a larger narrative
Just a hallucinatory
Perhaps not even real, just a figment of imagination
Trippin' on nothing there is
Experiencing vivid and intense sensations despite no external stimulus
Living in the wilderness
Living in isolation or separation from society
With a tiger spot on my back
Having a distinctive marking or feature
Living life of a cat
Emulating the behavior or lifestyle of a feline
I just wanna relax here
I desire a state of calm and contentment
And sing another rap tune
Creating and performing a new rap song
Driving off on your blind man's bike
Riding a bicycle without a clear direction or plan
You can say just what you like
Expressing oneself freely without censorship or restriction
Or nothing can stop you
No obstacle or hindrance is insurmountable
You're the best definition of good versus evil
You represent the most clear contrast between positive and negative forces
You're the best around
You are the pinnacle of excellence and achievement
And nothings ever gonna take you down
You are unstoppable and invincible
