Mac DeMarco
The Eternal Tao 2.0
[Verse 1]
T.E.
T.E.T. cannot be whispered
T.E.
T.E.T
The Tao can't be sung
I long to know what is beyond me
I try to change what I should not change
Realistically optimistic
I'm a philosopher, n-not a mystic
No more playing now, I'm on a mission
But I forgive a man if he doesn't listen
I see Lucifer makes a good living
A philosophy so limiting
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Everyone got decisions to make
Oh, yeah, baby, got bills to pay
The truth lies beyond what you see
I'm not mad at you
[Chorus]
When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was sixteen
When I was sixteen
Nobody believed
"Music's for you"
When my turn it comes
When my turn it comes
I will tear the system apart
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 1]
If you wanna be great
You gotta work late
And nothing is ever done
And that's what matters
[Interlude]
T.E
T.E.T. Cannot be said
Now we build statues of robots
Humanity is already a memory
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing's black or white, it's all grey
Honesty without tact is cruelty
Nothing turns me on like what you say
Bending towards pending demise
[Chorus]
When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was sixteen
When I was sixteen
Nobody believed
"Music's for you"
It's harder than I thought
But when my time it comes
Will I be prepared?
I guess we'll see
[Bridge 2]
End of the daydream
Nine zillion lane highway
Was not part of the deal
[Chorus]
When I get my way
When I get my way (Nothing is ever)
When I get my way (Deleted anymore)
When I get my way
When I get my way
When I get my way (The mind wants to play)
When I get my way (Free from the assembly line of thought)
[Outro]
Change all my friends
Only 'cause you asked me twice
Change all my clothes
That don't make a difference either
I don't want anything
Unless there's you
Unless there's you
I don't want anyone
Unless it's you
Unless it's you
