Good Shit
Cornershop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I know it won't be too long
Two foots racing and the man made blues
I feel the magic of the man and the ghost
Checking out the animal heads in the animal kingdom
Taking acts on through the turbulent sea
It?s the truth, it?s the truth, make it be tree
To the chorus now, it'll always be tough
A beach Manhattan from the middle of the heart
I want each and all to switch your tiny mind on
I want each and all switch on your tiny mind
I want each and all to switch your tiny mind on
I want each and all switch on your tiny mind
'Cause good shit's all around good people
Don't let it get you down, good people
Good shit's all around, it?s all about, it's all around
Good shit's all around good people
Don't let it get you down, good people
Good shit's all around, it?s all about
Good people now, good shit, I'm on fire
Directing traffic on the disco floor
Well, one by one, we're gonna take you lovers on and
One by one, we're gonna take you lovers on
Eastern claps on the one and the third, and I'm thinking
It?s a mighty God, we serve
Good shit, I'm on fire
let's been waiting, I don't give up on a good thing
Heavy metal from the back of a stage
Walk into interstate with the worst attorney that helped me
Making old your mothers day
To the chorus now, it'll always be tough
A beach Manhattan from the middle of the heart
I want you each and all to switch your tiny mind on
I want you each and all switch on your tiny mind
I want you each and all to switch your tiny mind on
I want you each and all switch on your tiny mind
'Cause good shit's all around good people
Don't let it get you down, good people
Good shit's all around, it?s all about, it's all around
Good shit's all around good people
Don't let it get you down, good people
Good shit's all around, it?s all about
Good people now, good shit, I'm on fire
And it?s the triple route, it?s the truth, it?s the truth
And it?s the triple route, it?s the truth, it?s the truth
And it?s the triple route, it?s the truth, it?s the truth
It?s the truth, it?s the truth
Truth
