Let's Go Crazy
Prince The Revolution Lyrics

Dearly beloved
Hello, dear friends and attention please

We are gathered here today
We are brought together in this moment

To get through this thing called life
To face and overcome the challenges of existence

Electric word life
The term life, with all its connotations

It means forever and that's a mighty long time
It signifies an endless duration, which is quite significant

But I'm here to tell you
However, I have some other news for you

There's something else
There is another reality worth pursuing

The after world
The life beyond death, whatever that might entail

A world of never ending happiness
A place where joy and bliss are perpetual

You can always see the sun, day or night
The light of hope and warmth is always present

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
Therefore, when you contact that therapist in California

You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
You know who I'm talking about, the one who promises solutions

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Rather than inquiring about the remaining period of your life

Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Ask him instead about the state of your mental health

'Cause in this life
Because in this existence

Things are much harder than in the after world
Challenges and obstacles are far more daunting than in that other reality

In this life
Here, in this present reality

You're on your own
You have to face them alone, without divine intervention

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
And if external forces attempt to pull you down

Go crazy, punch a higher floor
React fiercely, aim higher, and don't give up

If you don't like the world you're living in
If you're dissatisfied with your current circumstances

Take a look around you
Observe the situation you're in

At least you got friends
Be aware that you are not alone in this world

You see I called my old lady
For instance, I contacted my girlfriend

For a friendly word
With the intention of having a pleasant conversation

She picked up the phone
But when she answered the call

Dropped it on the floor
She accidentally dropped the phone on the ground

(Ah, ah) is all I heard
All I could hear were some indistinct sounds of surprise or shock

Are we gonna let the elevator
Are we going to allow external factors

Bring us down
To depress us or influence us negatively

Oh, no let's go!
No way, let's act instead

Let's go crazy
Let's be wild and unpredictable

Let's get nuts
Let's unleash all our energy and creativity

Let's look for the purple banana
Let's search for something unique and extraordinary

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
Until we get caught or defeated, let's keep going

We're all excited
We are all feeling stimulated and enlivened

But we don't know why
But we cannot pinpoint the reason for our enthusiasm

Maybe it's 'cause
Perhaps it's due to the fact that

We're all gonna die
Every one of us is mortal and will eventually perish

And when we do (When we do)
And when our end comes

What's it all for (What's it all for)
What was the whole point of our existence

You better live now
Therefore, we must make the most of our lives now

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Before death arrives to take us away

C'mon baby
Come on, my dear

Let's get nuts
Let's celebrate life with abandon

Yeah
Oh yes

Crazy
Insane, unbelievable, fantastic

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
I repeat, let's be wild and daring

Let's go, let's go
Let's act now, right away

Dr. Everything'll be alright
The therapist who knows all the tricks

Will make everything go wrong
His methods might make things worse instead of better

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Drugs and excitement and flowers are no substitutes for genuine happiness

Hang tough children
Stay strong and resilient, my friends

He's coming
Death is approaching

Take me away!
Take me to the other world, away from here
