I knew this dude
He was very cool
He used to rule
Until he went to schoolNot a normal school
That breeds a fool
But the ones that teaches
Men aren't fit to ruleThat's when he took his pearly crown
He raised it up and spun it 'round
And tossed into the deep blue undergroundNo longer lead by the ways of men
He looked for the kingdom deep within
That's when the drums in his head began to poundDon't let nobody bring you down
Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father
Will bring the everlasting now
Join the party, make a sound
Share the truth, preach the good news
Don't let nobody bring you down
The everlasting nowNow turn the page, at an early age
This brother on stage, he was all the rage
He taught an integrated world to sing
The color you are don't mean a thing
Everybody's a star all the everyday people sangHe changed the funk, put it in a bag
Then he changed the colors of the flag
But you can't teach a dog new tricks if his tail don't wag
Don't know matter how much money you made
All the cars you got and all the women you laid
Mess with the flag and to them you're still a spadeDon't let nobody bring you down
Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father
Will bring the everlasting now
Join the party, make a sound
Share the truth, preach the good news
Don't let nobody bring you down
The everlasting nowSee this girl in her make-believe world
Plastic boobs and clip-on curls
Round the pole see her big butt twirl
There are the dreams that do unfurl
Never everlastingDon't let anybody bring you down
The everlasting nowWatch that girl in her make-believe world
Plastic boobs and clip-on curls
Round the pole see her big butt twirl
Electric beaches skin do bake
Vanilla fudge and wedding cake
If you should die before you wake
You got any last requests to make?The everlasting now
The everlasting now
The everlasting nowJohnny, B. Well and bring the beatFrom this day forward 'til times indefinite,
Those who love Christ are the
Ones who benefit.
All the players' ice melted into one platinum chain and in
A downward spiral it dropped down the chain."You know, this is funky but I wish he'd play like he used to, old scragglyhead."Don't let nobody bring you down
Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father
Will bring the everlasting now
Join the party, come on make a sound
Share the truth, preach the good news
Don't let nobody bring you down
The everlasting nowThe everlasting now
The everlasting now
The everlasting now
Now, now, now
The everlasting now
