Story Of Everything

(album: Threads - 2019)

[Chuck D:]
Sing
The story of everything, uh
Living, dying, lying, denial
Sing
The story of everything
Sing

[Sheryl Crow (Chuck D):]
Here's a story for you that will make your head spin 'round
Some troubled soul walks into church and guns everyone down
What did that congregation do, they forgave that boy somehow
Our do-nothing congress, they never make mistakes (Check 'em)
'Cause they don't show up to work except to give themselves a raise
The audacity of hope makes every bigot shake, yeah

That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along, get along
(Living, dying, lying, denial)

[Sheryl Crow (Andra Day) {Chuck D}:]
On Main Street USA, everybody's closing shop
'Cause them that's got get richer, it's the have and the have-nots
My cousin stays on welfare, 'cause it pays more than a job
Ooh yes it does
(Now every time they talk about the way it used to be)
(You keep on living in the past, don't do a damn thing for me)
(Don't tell me how it was, I tell you how it needs to be)
(Oh, yes I will)
{Sing}

That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything {That's right y'all, sing}
(That's the story of everything, yeah)
(You can live, you can die)
(But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah)

[Chuck D:]
Living, dying, lying, denial
Just hold them hands up, don't ya'll dare stop trying
Stomping those feet and gasoline on these new seats
Save these babies spinning on this merry-go-crazy
Brees like the Saint, Chuck verse I'm stuck in
Cursing worse than the new blues, non-stuttering
What the O-M-G, S-M-H
Views of rating, news of hating, things get far gone if ya'll waiting

[Sheryl Crow:]
My mama held me in her arms, the same as I hold mine
I say my prayers and tell my babies everything is fine (Uh huh)
Sometimes I break down, these are surely troubled times
Oh, yes they are

[Sheryl Crow (Andra Day) {Chuck D}:]
{Sing}
That's the story of everything {Hey}
That's the story of everything {That's right y'all, sing}

[Andra Day:]
That's the story of everything, yeah
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything
That's the story of everything, yeah
You can live, you can die
But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah

[Sheryl Crow {Chuck D}:]
Woo, woo {Yeah, aw yeah, yeah, aw yeah}
Oh, oh {Yeah, aw yeah, yeah, aw yeah}
That's the story {Yeah, aw yeah, yeah, aw yeah}
That I make it back
I know we gotta change (Story of everything)
{Live, die, try, try} (Story of everything)
That's the story (Live, die, know we gotta try)
Get along, yeah, yeah

[Chuck D {Sheryl Crow}:]
Views of rating, news of hating
Views of rating, news of hating (Get along)
Views of rating, news of hating
Things get far gone if ya'll waiting (To get along)
Views of rating, news of hating
Things get too far gone if ya'll waiting (To get along)
(To get along, try) {Get-get-get, get-get-get-get, get-get-get}
{Get-get-get-get along}
(To get along) {Oh, along, along, along, along}
Come on, clap your hands, keep that head up
Keep that head up, throw them hands up
