The Everlasting Now

[Verse 1]

I knew this dude

He was very cool

He used to rule

Until he went to school

Not a normal school

That breeds a fool

But the ones that teaches

Men aren't fit to rule

That's when he took his pearly crown

He raised it up and spun it 'round

And tossed into the deep blue underground

No longer lead by the ways of men

He looked for the kingdom deep within

That's when the drums in his head began to pound

[Chorus]

Don't let nobody bring you down

Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father

Will bring the Everlasting Now

Join the party, make a sound

Share the truth, preach the good news

Don't let nobody bring you down

The Everlasting Now

[Verse 2]

Now turn the page, at an early age

This brother on stage, he was all the rage

He taught an integrated world to sing

The color you are don't mean a thing

"Everybody's A Star," all the everyday people sang

He changed the funk, put it in a bag

Then he changed the colors of the flag

But you can't teach a dog new tricks if his tail don't wag

Don't know matter how much money you made

All the cars you got and all the women you laid

Mess with the flag and to them you are still a spade

[Chorus]

Don't let nobody bring you down

Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father

Will bring the Everlasting Now

Join the party, make a sound

Share the truth, preach the good news

Don't let nobody bring you down

The Everlasting Now

[Verse 3]

See this girl in her make-believe world

Plastic boobs and clip-on curls

Around the pole, see her big butt twirl

These are the dreams that do unfurl

Never everlasting

Turn it up

Don't let anybody bring you down

The Everlasting Now

See that girl in her make-believe world

Plastic boobs and clip-on curls

'Round the pole, see her big butt twirl

Electric beaches, skin do bake

Vanilla fudge and wedding cake

If you should die before you wake

You got any last requests to make?

[Chorus]

The Everlasting Now

The Everlasting Now

The Everlasting Now

Johnny B. Well and bring the beat

[Verse 4]

From this day forward until times indefinite

Those who love Christ are the ones who benefit

All the players' ice melted into one platinum chain

And in a downward spiral, it dropped down the drain

"You know, this is funky

But I wish he'd play like he used to, old scraggly head."

Don't let nobody bring you down

Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father

Will bring the Everlasting Now

Join the party, come on make a sound

Share the truth, preach the good news

Don't let nobody bring you down

The Everlasting Now

[Chorus]

The Everlasting Now

The Everlasting Now

The Everlasting Now

Johnny B. Well and bring the beat
