Man On A Mission Lyrics


Hey I heard you'd run away
But where you gonna run?
You got such a pretty face
And the world's a small, small place'Cos when you're runnin' on your own
You know you ain't like a rollin' stone
Because a stone will find its place
And when you hear this spaceJust crawl and never run
And when your work is done
And then you'll see the sunSo sing what you want I'm a man on a mission
No time to love, no time to be wastin' no
I wanna know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself
Feel undone, feel undoneBlues, I heard you caught the blues
And what was it they said?
Have you got out of bed?
Have you got out of that?I know a headspace that you don't
I will you cannot and you don't
A fortune has been made

On all the illness they've madeAnd then we've gotta pay
For the drugs to take it away
And then you're goin' to find
There's nothin' in your mindThat you don't already know
That you ain't already seen
And do you live in a dream?Sing your song, don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble but
I wanna know, if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself
Feel undone, feel undoneSing your song, don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble and
Play your cards, throw your dice
You get a piece of land and a piece of adviceNo time to be wastin', there's no time to be wasted
No time to be wastin', there's no time to get wasted
No time to be wastin', always time to get wasted
No time to be wastin', there's no time to get wastedThere's always time to get wasted
(There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted
(There's no time to waste)There's always time to get wasted
(There's no time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted
(There's no time to waste)There's always time to get wasted
(No time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted
(No time to waste)They've got me wasting time
(No time to waste)
Got me wasting time
(No time to waste)They got me wasting time
(No time to waste)
They got me wasting time

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
