Applied Science Lyrics

[Drum Solo]

[Verse 3]
Electricity running through is all that feels good
Sometime the only thing that really ever could
Feed that hunger I crave it I love it I gave it
I shoved it in a battery and saved it for later
A waiter in the Dorothy C. Pavilion in ’89
I met some weirdos and had myself a real good time

Downtown L.A. is a soul graveyard
Where you gotta be hard or get jacked
It lacked a certain sense of something something basic
No karma in the least I broke east
You know I had to face it I guess I flaked
But it was no mistake because 311′s got the boom y’all

[Bridge]
My mic check is giving me electric company
I can’t see the high wide sky or stars above me
Are you a flower or more like a high rise tower
If so the soul of sweet delight on you will shower
There’s a place for us they say is somewhere
Not a dream but a place and you will be there
You’re slippin’ but content because your spirit
And hills are alive with the sound of music
[Outro]
People never see the whole trip of life
Grab knowledge man and all you do is siph

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
