Been waiting for the day, but it’s been to long.
Just pick up the beat and carry on.
The rhythmn’s still flowing when the river’s dry.
But if I’m living the music then I’m living my life.
People criticise but I’m hypnotised,
I’m blinded by the thud of the mainstream lies.
Pick up your coat and get your bag unpacked,
‘cause when you hear this you’re never going back.
Forget about reality and actuality,
‘cause as a matter of fact you’ve got to get down with Funktuality.
Forget about gravity and the dead society,
‘cause if you’re asking me, you’ve got to get down with Funktuality.
Don’t wanna’ know where you’ve gone a been,
Whatever it takes to bring the money in.
Whatever you do to get through the night,
If you’re doing it with soul then you’re doing it right.
Hang down the bait and hold on tight,
Wait for the world to take a bite.
You can scream all you want but you won’t be heard,
‘cause if you want voice then “Funk”’s the word.
Picking up bits of your life from the floor,
Thinking you can’t go on no more.
Down your glass it’s time to go,
Take a leap and you never know.
Try to understand the way the worlds turning,
But the slap of the bass has left the world blurring.
Can’t see the light through your closed eyes,
So open up and give this a try.
Forget about reality and actuality,
‘cause as a matter of fact you’ve got to get down with Funktuality.
Forget about gravity and the dead society,
‘cause if you’re asking me, you’ve got to get down with Funktuality.
Hang down the bait and hold on tight,
Wait for the world to take a bite.
You can scream all you want but you won’t be heard,
‘cause if you want voice then funks the word.
Forget about reality and actuality,
‘cause as a matter of fact you’ve got to get down with Funktuality.
Forget about gravity and the dead society,
‘cause if you’re asking me, you’ve got to get down with Funktuality.
