11:59 Lyrics by Michael Franti & Spearhead

All People

[Chorus]
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you
[Verse 1]
It was eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine clicks
The whole world's burning but the clock just ticks
Over and over, every single day
Some people steal while other people pray
To God, to man, machines, or whatever
Some of us just lost faith altogether
No way, they say, it can't be this way
That's why so many people stand up and say
[Pre-Chorus]
One love, one blood
One heart, one soul and
One drum and only one rhythm
One tribe and all of us singing
[Chorus]
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you (I wanna rock with you)
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you (I wanna rock with you)
(I wanna rock with you)
[Verse 2]
It was eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine clicks
Life support plugged in, the whole world's sick
Got diseases excited, they crawled up inside us
Super stupiditis, philosophies that divide us
Keep us in fear from one another
So we can't recognize a brother from another mother
No way, we can't live this way
That's why so many people stand up and say
[Pre-Chorus]
One love, one blood
One heart, one soul and
One drum and only one rhythm
One tribe and all of us singing
[Chorus]
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you (I wanna rock with you)
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you (I wanna rock with you)
Ay (I wanna rock with you)
(I wanan rock with you)
[Bridge]
'Till the day I die, 'till the day I die
I wanna rock with you 'till the day I die
[Verse 3]
It was eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine clicks
The whole world's burning but the clock just ticks
Some people cry, others occupy
Throw your hands high as the bullets fly by
I dry my eyes, others wonder why
But I just wanna be with you until the day I die
[Pre-Chorus]
One love, one blood
One heart, one soul and
One drum and only one rhythm
One tribe and all of us singing
[Chorus]
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you (I wanna rock with you)
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you (I wanna rock with you)
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you
It's eleven fifty-nine and fifty-nine seconds
If I'm gonna die tonight I want heaven
Ay, ay
With you
