20/20 Lyrics by Atomic Walrus

Slug Life

2014

[Intro]
Well, I can’t undo my past
And I know that I can’t rewind
Yesterday’s history and tomorrow’s a mystery
And all I’ve got is time

[Verse 1]
Now, when I reflect on the past, there’s some times that I’m missin’
I tend to think of the bad rather than reminiscing
I try to focus on the positive, but most I’m forgettin’
And it’s a cycle that repeats, I’m never learnin’ my lesson
I swear, I think I got depression, give me a prescription
Always second-guessing, never stoppin’ to listen
I need to clear my head and get a better vision
Need to slow down and think about it ‘cause
Well, I know, I’m blessed, I’ve got a family and friends who love me
But I’ve got my regrets, I like to drown ‘em out with weed and bubbly
And I think I need to find a better way to cope
But for the meanwhile, I’m just sittin’ here tryin’ not to lose hope
Hit me!

[Chorus]
It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down
But in time, I will recover
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round
Got to break this hold
I have not seen myself in so long
In so long

[Verse 1]
Now, when I think about the future, all I’m seein’ in my mind’s eye
A wingspan, just a reminder that time flies
I got love for the people in my past
But for all the ones who doubted me, man, y'all can kiss my ass
But for the first half, shit, I thank you for the honesty
Thank you for the lovin' and I hope that you can promise me
To never let yourself be changed or influenced
By all the bullshit, stay inspired by the truest
And I’ll do my best to practice what I’m preachin'
Keep in line my actions, and the words which I am speaking
Keep on top of shit, I mean, at least until the weekend
And keep the PMA before the self-doubt creeps in
You gotta believe in yourself, I said ya, ya gotta believe in yourself
‘Cuz if you don’t believe in yourself, then believe me
Neither will anyone else
Hit me!

[Chorus]
It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down
But in time, I will recover
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round
Got to break this hold
I have not seen myself in so long
In so long
It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down
But in time, I will recover
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round
Got to break this hold
I have not seen myself in so long
In so long

[Verse 3]
Fuck it
I drop the negative and reach inside my pocket
Whip out the microphone, I plug it in, and then I rock it
Better believe I got the power like the inside of a socket
And I'm, I'm too electrical for y'all people to knock it
And whether or not you got the liquor in your system
You ought be jumping around and dancin' when you start to listen
Bitch, I'm bringin' the style and my band's bringing' the rhythm
Yes, we're coming to make you move around, yeah, that's the fuckin' mission!

Bass
I said, bass
Guitar

[Bridge]
Get up on the scene
Rock it like I’m James Dean
Ladies, get out on the floor
And shake it, shake it like you're Ms. Monroe

Watch me!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down
But in time, I will recover
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round
Got to break this hold
I have not seen myself in so long
In so long
It seems life’s tryin’ to break me down
But in time, I will recover
This mind, inside I'm spinnin’ round
Got to break this hold
I have not seen myself in so long
In so long
