The Sermon Lyrics by Ashley & Jackson

Solid Gold

1991

[Verse 1]
Given time you'll change your mind
You've got to listen to the rhythm
And let the rhyme unwind
A rhythm of love that takes you
Down to the bottom and then it makes you
Move up, move out
Then you know what the lesson is all about
It's a lesson in life and I'm the teacher
Now I'm going to preach to you:
Easy money can take you for a ride
You took a girl and left her by the wayside
You needed something she could not provide
Now I want to tell you what you can do for me:
Get a grip on reality
'Cos if you don't you'll find that someone еlse
Will bring you to your knees
[Chorus]
It's a natural rhythm
A rhythm inside you head
Thе rhythm of a single bed
No room to move, but still they groove
The world's got rhythm
It puts your mind at ease
And it gets you down on your knees
And there's no debate when we syncopate
[Verse 2]
It's the way to take a chance
You've got to move with the times
And let your soul dance
The rhythm of love exposed you
And when you thought that he had sold you out
You're moving in the right direction
But you needed a gun for protection
In a difficult world
I know that you can see things from my point of view
If somebody could make you want more
There's one thing that can't ignore
It's the same mistake you made before
And now I want to help you take a much different line
Because it's got to be right this time
'Cos if it's not
You may underestimate your new state of mind
[Chorus]
It's a natural rhythm
A rhythm inside you head
The rhythm of a single bed
No room to move, but still they groove
The world's got rhythm
It puts your mind at ease
And it gets you down on your knees
And there's no debate when we syncopate
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
It's a natural rhythm
A rhythm inside you head
The rhythm of a single bed
No room to move, but still they groove
A natural rhythm
A rhythm inside your head
Now they do it in style instead
They've got room to move
So the groove improves
The world's got rhythm
It puts your mind at ease
And it gets you down on your knees
And there's no debate when we syncopate
'Cos the world's got rhythm
That puts your mind at ease
And it gets you down on your knees
And there's no debate when we syncopate
[Verse 3]
Given time you'll change your mind
You've got to listen to the rhythm
And let the rhyme unwind
A rhythm of love that takes you
Down to the bottom and then it makes you
Move up, you've got to move out
Then you know what the lesson is all about
It's a lesson in life and I'm the teacher
Ain't going to preach to you no more
