Prince - Everlasting Now lyrics

I knew this dude He was very cool He used to rule Until he went to school Not a normal school That breeds a fool But the ones that teaches Men aren't fit to rule That's when he took his pearly crown He raised it up and spun it 'round And tossed into the deep blue underground No longer lead by the ways of men He looked for the kingdom deep within That's when the drums in his head began to pound Don'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 now Now 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 sang He 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 spade Don'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 now See this girl in her make-believe world Plastic b**bs and clip-on curls Round the pole see her big bu*t twirl There are the dreams that do unfurl Never everlasting Don't let anybody bring you down The everlasting now Watch that girl in her make-believe world Plastic b**bs and clip-on curls Round the pole see her big bu*t 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 now Johnny, B. Well and bring the beat From 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 now The everlasting now The everlasting now The everlasting now Now, now, now The everlasting now
