A History of Now Songtext
von Asian Dub Foundation

I give up I live up I fill up*
Gotta keep my mind in motion
Gotta keep motion in my mind
Cut it out Leave it out take it out
All the things that make confusion
And diversions in these times
Breathing out Hold it out hold it down
Buttoning down frustration out of neutral into drive
Ray of hope keep afloat take a note
Need another survival strategy just to keep myself alive Too many ideas buzzin round inside my brain
Live in the history of now
And I′m feelin like there's
Nothing left that I can really explain l
Live in the history Live in the history Of now
In a maze In a haze In a rage
Can′t tell the difference between
My TV internet or me
Who is that Who is this Who said that
America's next top strictly dancing ghost celebrity
And I'm always phasing between blinding lights and the deafening sound


And I can′t even make out the words
Or make them match up with the mouths
Too many ideas buzzing round inside my brain
Live in the history of now
And I′m feeling like there's nothing left that
I can really explain
Live in the history
Live in the history Of now
Eye to Eye
Gotta get back to the desert
Gotta get right back to my soul
Burning sky
Where every drop of rain Is a blessing to behold
Cos I can′t be be a relay
On an expanding circuit board
My mind won't fit on a server somewhere I could never afford
You can′t download the sun
You can't download the sea
You can′t download the sun
You'll never download me
Too many ideas buzzin round inside my brain
Live in the history of now
And I'm feelin like there′s
Nothing left that I can really explain l
Live in the history
Live in the history of Now
