Lets Go Crazy
Prince & The Revolution Lyrics

Dearly beloved
We start this song by calling out to the people listening.

We are gathered here today
We are here to speak about an important topic.

To get through this thing called life
We need to work together to get through the struggles of life.

Electric word, life
Life is an energetic and vibrant thing.

It means forever and that's a mighty long time
Life is a long journey that lasts forever.

But I'm here to tell you
I am here to share a message with you.

There's something else
There is an alternative way of living.

The afterworld
The place we go after we die.

A world of never ending happiness
This place is filled with infinite joy.

You can always see the sun, day or night
The afterworld is a place where there is always light, no matter what time of day.

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
When you need advice, you might seek help from a mental health professional.

You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Sometimes, these professionals can have a positive effect on your mental health.

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Rather than asking how much longer you have to live, ask them how you can improve your quality of life.

Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Ask how you can improve or protect your mental health.

'Cause in this life
Because life can be difficult.

Things are much harder than in the afterworld
Life can be challenging, while the afterworld is a place of ease and happiness.

In this life
While we're alive, we must overcome obstacles.

You're on your own
You need to be self-reliant when it comes to solving your own problems and dealing with adversity.

And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
If you face setbacks or obstacles in your life.

Go crazy, punch a higher floor
Don't give up; instead, work harder to reach new heights.

If you don't like the world you're living in
If you're not content with your life.

Take a look around you
Take stock of your surroundings and your relationships with others.

At least you got friends
You are not alone, and can rely on the support of your friends.

You see, I called my old lady
I called my girlfriend for comfort and support.

For a friendly word
I needed her to say something kind or encouraging.

She picked up the phone
She answered my call.

Dropped it on the floor
Then, she dropped the phone, ending the call abruptly.

(Ah, ah) is all I heard
I only heard a static sound on the other end.

I'm not gonna let de-elevator
I will not allow setbacks or obstacles to defeat me.

Bring us down
I want to rise above the struggles and succeed.

Oh, no let's go
Let's start taking action right now.

Let's go crazy
Let's be bold and take risks.

Let's get nuts
Let's not play it safe - let's explore new ideas and ways of living.

Let's look for the purple banana
Let's explore the unknown and the unusual.

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go
Until our time comes to pass on to the afterworld, let's keep moving forward with passion and enthusiasm.

We're all excited
We're full of energy and enthusiasm.

But we don't know why
We're not sure what is causing this emotion or why we feel this way.

Maybe it's 'cause
Perhaps the reason we feel this way is because...

We're all gonna die
... we all know that we will one day pass away.

And when we do (when we do)
When we pass away...

What's it all for (what's it all for)
...what was the purpose of our lives and our struggles?

You better live now
Make the most of the time we have now.

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Before death arrives to claim us.

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Will we let setbacks get the best of us?

Oh, no let's go
No, we will take action instead.

C'mon, baby
Let's do this!

Let's get nuts
Once more, let's take risks.

Yeah
We can do this!

Crazy
Let's be bold and ambitious.

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
We should not allow ourselves to be defeated by setbacks.

Oh, no let's go
We will take action instead.

Go crazy (woo)
Let's be bold and ambitious!

I said let's go crazy (go crazy)
Once again, let's take risks and pursue our ambitions.

Let's go, let's go
We're all in this together, so let's move forward with enthusiasm.

Go (let's go)
Let's go for it!

Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
The mental health professionals who claim to have all the answers.

Will make everything go wrong
Sometimes, these professionals offer bad advice or the wrong solutions.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Dependence on drugs or other vices will lead to ruin.

Hang tough, children
Stay strong and persevere through life's challenges.

He's coming
Death is inevitable and coming for us all.

He's coming
There's no avoiding death.

Coming
Death is approaching us all.

Take me away
Death will take us all to the afterworld eventually.
