Just Won't Stop
The Herbaliser Lyrics

(All aboard)
The song is starting and the listeners are invited to hop on.

(All aboard)
The invite to hop aboard is repeated.

Yo, I heard video, killed the radio star,
The rise of video content providers has reduced the popularity of the radio as a means of entertainment.

And the video stars were ringing so fast,
Video creators saw success come quickly and often.

But YouTube came and changed it so fast
The emergence of YouTube as a dominant platform completely altered the video industry.

That if you don′t wanna hop on the train it rolls past
If you don't embrace change, you will be left behind.

Even though it's full of these brains with no class,
Despite the low quality of some content, the industry is still thriving.

No girls, no chains and no cars
The content creators often lack material possessions that are traditionally associated with success.

But big talk, and it′s straining so hard
They often boast about their successes despite their low socio-economic status.

You can see 'em on them on the blocks it's chaning those bars
The music industry is constantly evolving.

So now it′s like a millions acts but there aint no fans
There are a lot of artists, but not enough listeners.

Just a man with a my space and no plans,
Some artists have nothing but a social media page, but no real plans for their career.

Time waits for no man
Time will continue to move forward unimpeded.

You wait for today but they might change the programme
You can't control what happens in life and plans can change unexpectedly.

Now that′s a remote control
The decisions of others often control situations.

When someone else decides where you're supposed to go
Other people can influence your direction, often taking it away from what you originally envisioned.

And the train wont stop it just rolls and rolls
Life continues moving forward regardless of your desires, much like a train that doesn't stop.

City to city, coast to coast, y′know how it goes,
Life continues in a predictable pattern regardless of where you are.

And it just don't stop Cause the time rolls (On and on and on) To the next stop And it just won′t stop Cause life goes (On and on and on) To the next stop
Life is a continuous journey that doesn't stop, always rolling onto the next step, regardless of your intentions.

What? that's how it goes when you offer a line
Life presents opportunities but it's up to you to take them.

And find anything you like when you can′t buy time
You don't have control over time, so you must make the most of what you have.

And there ain't no cause, no press, no rhymes
Success is often found through unconventional means.

And you don't wanna get left behind
No one wants to be left behind when success is found.

Yo, I hear the record shop shut down
The music industry is constantly changing and traditional record stores are becoming less common.

I guess we got one less spot for heads to link up now
One less gathering spot that supports the music industry

So now they at link, it′s all switched round
The place that people come together to access new content has shifted to an online space.

They move your mouse when you talk about your click now
You need online popularity to create real-world opportunities.

You gotta get heads in to put hits out
You need a large audience to create popular content.

And the first place to hear how your shit sound
The internet is now the best place to preview new content.

Is the set top box or the desktop
People access new content more often through the internet than through traditional sources.

Next stop, the club where no one gets off
People are so invested in their digital lives that they often have a hard time disconnecting and engaging with the real world.

And guess what? It′s a logical progression
The current state of the industry is an evolution of past actions.

The grime don't stop but it′s got a new direction
The music industry continues to evolve and change even though some styles stay popular.

And even though the old school hard knows cast They got some right old scratch
Older artists still have talent and money despite a changing industry.

Now they can't go back
The industry is different than it used to be and there's no going back to the way things were.

Get hosted, that′s what they said on the news
People with big online presences can earn a lot of money.

Now, it's still a lie but it′s getting confused
The idea of getting rich easily online is being mixed up with reality.

So there's no time to waste, not a second to loose
Time is valuable and shouldn't be wasted.

Cause the clocks don't stop when you set ′em to snooze
Time continues whether you're ready for it or not.

And it just don′t stop Cause the time rolls (On and on and on) To the next stop And it just won't stop Cause life goes (On and on and on) To the next stop
Repetition of prior verses emphasizing that life moves inexorably forward and will not stop for anyone or anything.

What? that′s how it goes when you offer a line And find anything you like when you can't buy time And there ain′t no cause, no press, no rhymes And you don't wanna get left behind
Repeating the idea from earlier in the song that life moves too fast and doesn't wait for you.
