All I Know - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I travelled across the world

Seeking the promised land

Dreams so big, so grand

I’ll never fail

Walked the streets until I found

A man with open ears

He asked what brought me here

I told the tale

It’s the music that I need

I hear it in my sleep

The words, the chords, the beat

I know them all

There’s one instrument I own

It flies above the rest

When I play I feel possessed

Oh it grabs my soul

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Better play boy better play boy better

He beckons me to the studio and he calls a band

Better play boy, better play boy, better

All I know is I feel alive with the trumpet in my hand

[Chorus]

Now play it

[Verse 2]

Years went by as I played on

The crowds began to form

I dived into the storm

I loved the rise

High, as though I couldn’t fall

And then I lost the way

Forgot the price I paid

I closed my eyes

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Better play boy, better play boy, better

Three AM in a smoky den I’m a wasted man

Better play boy, better play boy, better

All I know is I’m still alive with the trumpet in my hand

[Chorus]

Now play it

[Bridge]

All I know is I’m still alive

In the night he comes to me

He says

All I know is you won’t survive

Till the music sets you free

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Better play boy, better play boy, better

Remember what you said to me when you first began

Better play boy, better play boy, better

All I know is I feel alive with the trumpet in my hand

[Chorus]

Now play it

Better play boy, better play boy, better

Now play it

Better play boy, better play boy, better

Now play it
