Scritti Politti - The World You Understand lyrics

RAPPER: And when you want that hip hop, beat bop, body rocking
Give me something I can ride and ride
GREEN: Something I heard

RAPPER: And when you want that hip hop, back beat, [42nd]
Give me something that the world can't hide
GREEN: Something you said

GREEN: I tell you who we are
Eloise and Ebelard
We turnin' Pere Lachaise
Over and over and over

RAPPER: And when you want that hip hop, beat bop, body rocking
Give me something that the gods decide
GREEN: Something I heard

RAPPER: And when you want that hip hop, back beat, 42nd
Give me something I can hold inside
GREEN: Something you said

GREEN: I tell you who we are
Eloise and Ebelard
We turnin' Pere Lachaise
Over and over and over

I came to conquer you
Nothing else will ever do for me
I wonder what you are
The 4th of July, girl?

It will get better now (you know what I mean)
It will get better now

RAPPER: And when you want that hip hop, beat bop, body rocking
Give me something that the world can't hide
GREEN: For nothing
RAPPER: Tomorrow
GREEN: Something I heard

RAPPER: And when you want that hip hop, back beat, 42nd
Give me something I can ride and ride
GREEN: Far away
RAPPER: For ever
GREEN: Something I said (better now)
Something you say (better now)

GREEN: We got a warning here
Coming at you loud and clear
The world you understand
Is over and over and over
(And over and over and over)

It doesn't bother you
Nothing else will ever do for me
I wish you were what you are
The first day of fall, girl

(You know what I mean)

It will get better now (you know what I mean)
It will get better now (you know what I mean)
Better and better and better and better
It will get better now

Time after time after history (history)
Better and better and better and better
It'll get better now
Time after time after you hear me (oh it'll get better now)

Time after time after history (it'll get better now)
Time after time after you hear me
It'll get better now
It'll get better now
