lyrics
Verse
Jagged little pill makes the sun bright
makes everything clear to me
makes all the bad kids act right
no more mystery
Oh, oh , oh, take away the clouds
make some parents proud
And help the blind man to see
Furry little nugget, musty little stem
transport me from reality
slow it all down make the time pause
so I can comprehend
and oh, oh, oh for the right price
and your shrinks advice
you can buy your destiny
Chorus
So I just go, go, go, go
Until I can’t go no mo
So I just go, go, go, go
till i can’t feel no more
Sweet lord I go
Till I don’t know what I’m going for
Verse
Red light and blue lights stir my soul
officer, i swear i didn't do no wrong
pulled me over twice and checked my papers right
isn’t that a double jeopardy
But I’ll consent and be polite no quick moves right?
I don’t wanna die on T.V.
Sell you a dream to make your heart sing
Just sign your name on that line
Screwing over decent peoples never been a crime
Once you do it’s no looking back
You can do it all you want, just remember man
It’s gonna eat your soul alive
Chorus
So I just go, go, go, go
Until I can’t go no mo
So I just go, go, go, go
till i can’t feel no more
Sweet lord I go
Till I don’t know what I’m going for
Instrumental break
Chorus
So I just go, go, go, go
Until I can’t go no mo
So I just go, go , go, go
till i can’t feel no more
Sweet lord I go
till I don’t know what I’m going for
