Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   Ooh you know we pepper you
   With a sonic assault side step a you
   I cannot think of a better way
   That we could celebrate freedom
   Than make up a set of goals and cold beat 'em
   See dumb verbal tags like audio spaghetti
   Give a shout to the one they call Yeti
   I bet he put the cabash on any foes whatsoever
   Like original brodel Trevor
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   Positive vibe merchant grandson of Lord Buckley
   Scottish Ralston shows up if you're lucky
   Ad Raspler the sweed a friend in deed
   He's keeping an eye on the other guy's greed
   These are 311 characters I dubbed everyone
   The story ain't over but my rhyme is done
   It was the year that I first touched ground
   So I grabbed the microphone and I got down
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   Just like James Brown gather round of our sight and sound
   Pound for pound we throw down rather profound
   I'll put you in another world I can't hear you
   Like having phone sex with a deaf girl
   No doubt we got the jams that'll smack ya
   I penned three books of lyrics 2 for action 1 for backup
   'Cuz I'm a cold rockin' brother got transistor tunes
   And it feels real good to get close to you
---> Play Chorus over:
   The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at
   The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat
   The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter
   To be one who loves to be one who works
   The nazz not something that can be given
   The brodel is inside you it comes from within
---> Play Riff 1 over:
   When I feel into the sea
   When the world came and kissed me
   Transformed my shit told the shark I was a dolphin
   Swam quick funny though
   Pirranahs chilled and laughed at
   The way that I took off my polka dots on top of that
   The whales know I'm quick watch out
   And I get funky fresh as for the fishes I'm lit luminous
   I'm not nouveau techno I glow like a glacial
   In skin that swims faster than speed
---> Play Riff 2 over:
   I am I be dropped out of nothing I will return to nothing
   Rotate my style my rhyme my way magician of a rhythm
   Lover of animals damn I wanna hear 'em
   Aquatic my way I got soul shape
   Well I'm 6 foot 3 and like Mohammed Ali
   I float like a butterfly but sting like poison ivy
   Drive a 69 lincoln suicide doors
   Around the town I'm slinking fat subs of course
---> Play Riff 3 over:
   We're the greatest show on earth
   You know we turn it out daily
   In and out of town like Barnum and Bailey
   I know that is a simile but I couldn't resist
   From Solomon Roadie for the PJ's
   I don't think he'll be pissed
   I eat a cobb salad, smoked fish, duck, or clam chowder
   Chill with indica and Guinness
   Steer clear of white powder
   I run into my brother give him a pound and a yodel
   They know my word is bond talkin' bout the brodels
---> Play Chorus over:
   The brodels is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at
   The brodels is the nazz who knows a cat who can feed a cat
   The goal is to be a poet and a carpenter
   To be one who loves to be one who works
   The nazz not something that can be given
   The brodel is inside you it comes from within
---> Play Ending over:
   And we're fresh dude just check my man P
   He said I will not muddle my mind with impertinency
   Lost a lot in Vegas plays a lot of Sega
   Saw a phrase that he likes and put it on his leg
   And we're fresh dude just check my man D he said
   Comin' in ruff and tuff all systems are tweakin'
   People all over the world they must be thinkin'
   All the shit that we kickin' our shoes must be stinkin'
