Welcome home class
U've come a long way
(U've come a long way and heaven knows)
Mine damer og herrer
[Translation: "Ladies and gentlemen"]
Konger og dronninger og alt der imellem
[Translation: "Kings and queens and everything in between"]
Velkommen til timen
[Translation: "Welcome to class"]
Vi er ved at gøre noget, der vil forandre dit liv for evigt
[Translation: "We are about 2 do something that will change Ur life 4ever"]
Cage
Cage
Åbn dette bur!
[Translation: "Open this cage!"]
Come on, let's go
Free the people, come on, let's go
Free the people
Free the people
I woke up in the city in a bit of a rage
Determined 2 free my mind from this art official cage
Tought by tought my teachers taught from an early age
A place in heaven far off in the future
Come on, let's go
Free the people, come on, let's go
Art official, art official cage
Ghettos 2 the left of me, malls 2 the right
Why's my kingdom come only in prayers at night?
What should I expect if I'm not willing 2 fight?
A place in heaven somewhere in the future
Art official, art official
Art official cage
Louder than a bomb since the day of my birth
Got me 2nd class when I got here 1st
Lovely score but how am I supposed 2 know what it's worth
Art official age in the future
Free the people, come on, let's go
Startin' from the top, gettin' higher so
Never goin' back underwater, no
Brand new boogie without the hero
As sure Minneapolis get this snow
I'm goin' up Lady Liberty's dress and blow, blow, blow
Art official, free the people
Art official, art official cage
Cage
Cage
Art official cage
Cage
We need U 2 tell us what U know
Cage
We need U 2 tell us what U know
Art official cage
Art official cage
Art official cage
Art official cage
Cage, cage, cage, age, age, age

CLOUDS
You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get a flower
Don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back
In this brand new age we do everything
Quick, fast, in a hurry
All of our life's a stage
Everybody stars, reality so blurry
If you scream out loud, loud
Top of your voice be higher than the crowd (no)
Tattoo-less and proud, yeah
We'll get to something higher that doesn't require clouds
No, we don't need no clouds, no
You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get a flower
Don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back
All over me
I'm gonna give you something baby
But I wonder does it really even matter if it ain't on a stage
If it ain't on a stage
I don't really think it matters in this brand new age
When life's a stage, in this brand new age
How do we engage?
Bullying just for fun
No wonder there's so many guns
Maybe we're better off in space
Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson, can you hear my voice?
Sir, we know you're a little bit groggy
And you're probably going to find it hard to speak
But don't try to talk or process too much now
We just want to let you know that the medication you were given
Has put you in a suspended animation for quite some time
Well, in fact, about 45 years
But where you are now
Is a place that does not require time
That being said, you are completely safe
And we are here to help you
You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
It's in my power to love you
It's in my power to love you up
It's in my power to love you
It's in my power to love you up
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get a flower
Don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back
In this brand new age we do everything
Quick, fast, in a hurry
All of our life's a stage
Everybody stars, reality so blurry

No, we don't need no clouds, no
You should never underestimate the power of
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck, when she doesn't expect
A kiss on the neck
And every time you catch her singin' in the shower
You should go and get a flower
Don't matter what the hour
Just rub it on her back, rub it on her back, rub it on her back
All over me

Breakdown
Listen to me closely as the story unfolds
This could be the saddest story even been told
I used to want the house with the biggest pool
Reminiscing now, I just feel like a fool
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
I used to throw the party at the New Year's Eve
First one intoxicated, last one to leave
Waking up in places that you would never believe
Give me back the time, you can keep the memories
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like you
Whenever I was sorry, so sorry for the things I used to do
A journal full of numbers that I used to go through
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) all behind me now, all because of you
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
Keep breaking me down, down, down
You keep breaking me, you keep breaking me down
I don't wanna walk out
Don't wanna go down, down, down
See there's a door that you can walk through
Where there used to be a wall
I don't care, it's cool as long as you catch me baby
(Catch me when I fall) If there's ever a fall
Closer to the breakdown, the closer we get

U KNOW
Put Ur hands 2gether
No, like this
Surprise, surprise
Another treat, another trick
Huh, this is sweet
Which one's which?
4 the record, let me state that I never had a reason 2 break contractual endeavor or sever relationship with anyone I pleasure, pleasure
4 the playa, let me stop and say that I only paid attention when I heard U mention that he tried 2 take Ur treasure, treasure
(Oh, no he didn't?)
(What then?)
And as a matter of fact I would have gave U back, but then he had a heart attack when U made him pack and said his shack without U would be better, better
(See, what I really mean... uh)
See, what I really mean is that our future queen should never be in frustration with this rock 'n' roll machine ... no, no ... not ever, ever
(Yeah, hmm... U know)

U know how much I want U

U know, U know
If U really wanna find the answer 2 this cancer, then we must rewind
Then nevermind the 1st opinion, opinion
(U better ask somebody else)
2 run this game requires fame, Ur soul and name and nothing gained unless it's sacrificed, my dear ... his only claim 4 his dominion, dominion
And any question of the deal is met with another demand 2 kneel and reprimand concealed allegations of U sinning, sinning
(Huh... what's that all about?)
That's why, uh...
Feminine wiles R not surprised in recognizing that the power of the breasts is just a test that U'll be winning, winning
(U got this)
Oh, baby!
(Will U feed me, baby?)
(Come on)
U know how much I want U
U know how much I care
When he gone, U know I'm gonna flaunt U
U know, U know

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Been a couple hundred hours since he got your call
You use to treat me like David, but now I feel like Saul
Been making it rain all around the world
What difference does it make when the boy ain't got his girl?
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
(This is what it feels like, babe)
This is what it feels like, babe
(This is what it feels like)
This is what it feels like
(This is what it feels like, babe)
Your name's not David and it sure ain't Saul
Maybe you have no business writing on my wall
Springtime on the Philistines before the middle of the fall (Middle of the fall)
Silly rabbit needs to stop doin' tricks if you wanna get my call
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
(Oh oh) This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
Oh this is what it feels like
Oh this is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
Everybody goes up and down in a lifetime love affair
Makin' up, just breakin' up and pullin' each other's hair
What I wouldn't give to have you right here next to me
Show you want I really feel about you, well listen and you will see
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like yeah, yeah
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
The art of seduction, you and me is the right equation
And all you need to reach my lovin' is why I stared down a muffin
I can't wait to be your baby, baby, here I am just take me
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, baby
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe (this is what it feels like, babe)
You use to treat me like David, but now I feel like Saul
Been making it rain all around the world
What difference does it make when the boy ain't got his girl?
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
(This is what it feels like, babe)
This is what it feels like, babe
(This is what it feels like)
This is what it feels like
(This is what it feels like, babe)
Your name's not David and it sure ain't Saul
Maybe you have no business writing on my wall
Springtime on the Philistines before the middle of the fall (Middle of the fall)
Silly rabbit needs to stop doin' tricks if you wanna get my call
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
(Oh oh) This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
Oh this is what it feels like
Oh this is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
Everybody goes up and down in a lifetime love affair
Makin' up, just breakin' up and pullin' each other's hair
What I wouldn't give to have you right here next to me
Show you want I really feel about you, well listen and you will see
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like yeah, yeah
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe
The art of seduction, you and me is the right equation
And all you need to reach my lovin' is why I stared down a muffin
I can't wait to be your baby, baby, here I am just take me
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, baby
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like, babe (this is what it feels like, babe)

Affirmation I & II
Before you have any interaction with members of the opposite sex
We're going to have to debrief you thoroughly over the course of the next few sessions.
Today though we are just going to start off with some simple affirmations that will be automatically induced to your memory temple, that you can upload on to a hard drive and can review at your desire.
Affirmation number one, there are no such words as me or mine.
Words of this nature were introduced into society as a control mechanism which systematically first divided the subjects individually and then as a collective.
From now on, any person or object whatsoever that requires your attention is something that's veered from its path and pre ordained destiny of total enlightenment.

WAY BACK HOME
Any person or object whatsoever
That requires your attention
Is something that has veered from its path
And preordained destiny of total enlightenment
I never wanted a typical life
Scripted role, huh a trophy wife
All I ever wanted, to be left alone
See my bed's made up at night
'Cause in my dreams I roam
Just trying to find, trying to find
My way back, back home
So many reasons why
There's so many reasons why
I don't belong here
But now that I am I
Without fear I am
Gonna conquer with no fear
Until I find my way back home
Until I find my way back home
(Find my way back home)
Most people in this world (Most people in this world)are born dead
But I was born alive
(I was born with this dream)
With a dream outside my head (outside my head)
That I could find my way back home
My, my, way way back home
Is this the way? (Is this the way?)
(Power to the ones)
Power to the ones who could raise a child like me
The path was set
But if you look the truth will set us free
I've heard about those happy endings
But it's still a mystery
Lemme tell you about me
I'm happiest when I can see
My way back home
Can you see
My way back, my way back home
That requires your attention
Is something that has veered from its path
And preordained destiny of total enlightenment
I never wanted a typical life
Scripted role, huh a trophy wife
All I ever wanted, to be left alone
See my bed's made up at night
'Cause in my dreams I roam
Just trying to find, trying to find
My way back, back home
So many reasons why
There's so many reasons why
I don't belong here
But now that I am I
Without fear I am
Gonna conquer with no fear
Until I find my way back home
Until I find my way back home
(Find my way back home)
Most people in this world (Most people in this world)are born dead
But I was born alive
(I was born with this dream)
With a dream outside my head (outside my head)
That I could find my way back home
My, my, way way back home
Is this the way? (Is this the way?)
(Power to the ones)
Power to the ones who could raise a child like me
The path was set
But if you look the truth will set us free
I've heard about those happy endings
But it's still a mystery
Lemme tell you about me
I'm happiest when I can see
My way back home
Can you see
My way back, my way back home

FUNKNROLL
So finally beloved we meet at last
Middle of the here, nevermind the past
Only way to get to where you never been
Is to party like you ain't gonna party again
[Chorus:]
Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it out of control
Getting to the rhythm is good for the soul
Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it out of control
Come on everybody, let's funknroll
Whether you are coming by bus or train
Shade throwers hating like they're going insane
Million dollar party to their nickel and dime
Another mother further you're committing a crime
[Chorus]
Only way to last 'til the break of dawn
Put your phone down now and get your party on
Who you gonna call when it's obvious dear?
Everyone you know is rocking up in here, so let's funk
[Chorus]
Middle of the here, nevermind the past
Only way to get to where you never been
Is to party like you ain't gonna party again
[Chorus:]
Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it out of control
Getting to the rhythm is good for the soul
Let's funk, let's roll
Get it turned up, get it out of control
Come on everybody, let's funknroll
Whether you are coming by bus or train
Shade throwers hating like they're going insane
Million dollar party to their nickel and dime
Another mother further you're committing a crime
[Chorus]
Only way to last 'til the break of dawn
Put your phone down now and get your party on
Who you gonna call when it's obvious dear?
Everyone you know is rocking up in here, so let's funk
[Chorus]

TIME
This song about time
Say its about time
About time that u
R around
I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Alone with u
I think I'm running out of patience
I think I'm running out of lies
I think its 'bout time I tell the truth
Instead of these alibi's
Well...
I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too
No more peace and quiet
I wonder why
A party full of drunken fools
I betcha some will b the rushing tide
Splashin all over u
I don't wanna work another day baby
No no stay with me
I wish u coulda stay with me
Stay with me
I don't think it matters anyway
It don't matter girl
For u I'm as rich as I could be
Baby baby
I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
I know u know
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too
Sho 'nuff
Sugar well I'm thinking
That u really need 2 b my pet
And let me put u in my little cage
C'mon
Im sick and tired of playing hard to get
With an animal that's half my age
Sugar well well
My heads a little dizzy
My heads spinning 'round and 'round
Another dirty hotel room
Another lonely town
I need some time to rest?
I need some time with u
This is what it feels like
I know what I wanna do
This is what it feels like
Gonna lemme tell u one time
I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too
Oh oh I think I need u 2 b my girl
Travel with me around the world
Baby baby
So no paper
This works out fine
But not half as fine
As when I get time
With u
Sugar have u heard
I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too
Keep breakin u down.
Down down down
I think its 'bout time
That I got time
Alone with u
Cuz ure so fine
When I get mine
Baby u can too
U, u, u, u
Baby baby u can to!
Ooh ooh oh...

affirmation III
How are you feeling today Mr Nelson?
I trust you're having a quick and enjoyable adjustment period
As you can see, we are communicating now telepathically
Which makes things move so much faster here
After you've completed the planned affirmation therapy
You will find this way of interaction far easier
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
You've probably felt for many years in you're former life
That you were separate from not only others, but even yourself
Now you can see that was never the case
You are actually everything and anything that you can think of
All of it is you
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home
(Until I find my, my way back home, home)
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Remember, there is really only one destination, and that place is you
All of it, everything is you
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home
I trust you're having a quick and enjoyable adjustment period
As you can see, we are communicating now telepathically
Which makes things move so much faster here
After you've completed the planned affirmation therapy
You will find this way of interaction far easier
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
You've probably felt for many years in you're former life
That you were separate from not only others, but even yourself
Now you can see that was never the case
You are actually everything and anything that you can think of
All of it is you
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home
(Until I find my, my way back home, home)
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Remember, there is really only one destination, and that place is you
All of it, everything is you
Until I, I find my, my way back home, home
Until I, I find my, my way back home
