Lyrics
"THE GRIND"
(Chorus 1)
The Grind is a State-Of-Mind
Something in which you'd find
That in this world created by design
EVERYTHING is a little benign
Playing with space and time
Throwing down with the slime
Your eyes are open, but you're STILL blind--
It's all a part of The Grind.
(Verse 1)
With your mind I will play
With these words I will say:
There's a method to this madness, baby-baby
Infinite-Looping again and again
The skies are all sunny, but it still rains--
There's a method to this madness, baby-baby!! (repeat Chorus 1)
(Verse 2)
Open this DOOR to REALITY
Which is someone else's FANTASY--
There's a method to this madness, baby-baby
Raise the WINDOW to your SOUL
It's HOT in there, but you're still COLD--
There's a method to this madness, baby-baby!
(Chorus 2)
The Grind is a State-Of-Mind
Something in which you'd find
That in this world created by design--
EVERYTHING is a little sublime!
Playing with space and time
Throwing down with the slime
Your eyes are open but you're STILL blind--
It's all a part of The Grind!
(repeat Chorus 1)
(Verse 3)
This world is like an APPLE that's sweet
But it's much too BITTER to eat--
There's a method to this madness, baby-baby.
Raise the WINDOW to your SOUL
It's HOT in there, but you're still COLD---
There's a method to this madness, baby-baby!
(repeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
