“Got The Life” was released as a promotional single for their third studio album. Though never actually making much of a radio buzz until after the band’s success, the music video was the first video ever to be retired on MTV’s “TRL”, which was a much bigger deal in the 90s.
The track was originall...
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hate, something, sometime, someway
Something kicked off the front for me
Something inside (I'll never ever follow)
So give me something that is for real (I'll never ever follow)
[Interlude]
Get your boogie on
Get your boogie on
[Verse 2]
Hate, something, someway, each day
Feeling ripped off and given away
This shit inside (Now everyone will follow)
So give me nothing, just feel (And now this shit will follow)
[Chorus]
God paged me, "You'll never see the light", who wants to see?
God told me, "I've already got the life", oh I say
God paged me, "You'll never see the light", who wants to see?
God told me, "I've already got the life", oh I say
[Bridge]
Each day I can feel it swallow
Inside something took from me
I don't feel your deathly ways
Each day I feel so hollow
Inside I was beating me
You will never see, so come dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
Dance with me (Rum-biddie-boo, rum-bum-dee-dum)
Dance with me (Rum-biddie-boo, rum-bum-dee-dum-dee-bum-did)
Dance with me (Rum-biddie-boo, rum-bum-dee-doo)
Me!
[Chorus]
God pains me the more I see the light", who wants to see?
God told me, "I've already got the life", oh I say
God paged me, "You'll never see the light", who wants to see?
God told me, "I've already got the life"
[Outro]
Got the life, got the life, got the life
Got the life, got the life, got the life
Got the life, got the life, got the life
