lyrics

In a bathroom in a gas station
Off the 101 plans were being laid
Dan stood hunched over the sink
On which lay the magic-markered list he’d made
Singing I’ve got some new ideas
For some new stickers and some doubts
About the whole campaign about what we’re all about
Tell me are we playing right into their hands
Said Dre alls I know is too much weight can crush a man
True said Dan he said you’re an icon a beacon
A reason not to feel destitute
You’re everyplace everyone knows your face respect is due
But when you peek out at the landscape now
Doesn’t it look like it expected you
Every surface is pushing something
Dre are we infected too
Because I swear its got a life of its own
Like every wall I claim’s a sacrifice
To a wrathful name crowned and throned
With an appetite an appetite an appetite
To fill the skies swallow the seas saturate your sight yeah

We got the whole world in our hands
We got the whole world in our hands today
But Dre too much weight can crush a man
And I think we just got suckered again

But now that’s plenty said Danny
About the paranoias that attend me
What's happening friend why you look white as a ghost
Said Dre I’m still lagging on this godforsaken coast
He said I woke up in the basement it was totally dark
There were no windows just a radio that said four o clock
And I knew I told you that I’d meet you here at quarter to eight
But for a minute I didn’t know whether I was early or late
And Dan I’m wearying of jockeying for pole position
Sorting piles of prophesies and superstitions
I’m sorry if my eyes don’t see
With twenty-twenty twenty-forty vision
But I’m through with studied posturing I’m going with intuition

We got the whole world in our hands
We got the whole world in our hands but Dan
You know too much weight can crush a man
And I think we just got suckered again
