Beastie Boys Alive Lyrics

Alive Lyrics

We got rhyme selections in a wide array
     J'ai des bons bons pour vous mangez
     The party people scream, "oui oui, c'est vrai"
     'Cause I got a remote for my bidet
     A-d-r-o-c-k
     I use the microphone like Picasso used clay
     Down with freckles from around the way
     Peace to Bambata and Jazzy Jay
     I rock on the mic from here to Bombay
     I give it my best and say come what may
     'Cause everybody's got their dues to pay
     I'm looking sideways like my man Pele
     Gettin on like Ali boom ba yay
     So fed up with racism today
     Time to speak up and not turn away
     Make the sun shine when it's cloudy and gray

     Dip dip dive so-socialize
     Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
     If you learn to love you're in for a suprise
     It could be nice to be alive

     I'm taking doody rhymes to a brand new height
     I shine on the mic like UltraBrite
     Created a monster with these rhymes I write
     Goatee metal rap please say goodnight
     Now here's a little something that you might not like
     My dj's name is Mix Master Mike
     It's a real pity that you people got to bite
     But I could understand because he sounds so nice
     Reading you the news cause I'm Country Mike
     Use a microphone like Shazam uses tights
     Try to keep clear of that hate and spite
     So I keep my mind still like the still of night
     Now who in the world do you want to fight
     It's against the system that we should unite
     Homophobics ain't alright
     If you larn to love then you might love life

     Dip dip dive so-socialize
     Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
     If you learn to love you're in for a suprise
     It could be nice to be alive

     Now you can shuffle numbers but facts is facts
     So many billionaires while so many lack
     So before the poor decide to react
     Come on party people and share up your stacks
     Now I'm a break it down to the brass tacks
     Do the Biz Mark dance and the cabbage patch
     You try to turn the key but then you broke the latch
     Sneak into my files for some rhymes to snatch
     I'd like to have a say on the income tax
     Don't wanna help build bombs and that's the facts
     No money for health care so what's the catch
     The man got you locked with no key to the latch
     Mike and Adam have got my back
     You bring the mic and we'll bring the rap
     Turn on the P.A. and rock your shack
     Don't smoke cheeba can't stand crack

     Dip dip dive so-socialize
     Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
     If you learn to love you're in for a surprise
     It could be nice to be alive
