Meter on The Sky

Intro

Ow! Yeah!

(Bass thumpin' through the cosmos)

They told the sun to pay rent...

Can you dig it?

Verse 1

Big Stiff came down in a chrome-plated scow

Flat-foot chumps in a three-piece row

They launched a tarp across the sky

Said "That light's too good for you, goodbye"

Paper-pushers with a fancy scheme

Tryin' to monetize the daydream

But they ain't never met a groove this deep

Before the funk puts 'em all to sleep

Pre-Chorus

You can't put a meter on the morning ray

You can't charge a brother for a brand new day

Chorus

Meter on the sky, who you tryin' to fool?

The universe don't follow corporate rules

Space-age suits, you lame-brain clowns

The whole damn cosmos is gonna tear it down

Post-Chorus

Can't charge the light

Can't charge the light

No no no

Can't charge the light

Verse 2

They talkin' "terms of service" and "quarterly yield"

Man, that jive don't fly way out in the field

The sun don't run on no credit card

It runs on the vibe from the funky stars

We rolled up in a bass-mobile

With a frequency they couldn't steal

Chicken-shit pencil-pushers better hide

'Cause the rhythm's about to take 'em for a ride

Pre-Chorus

You can't patent the hum of a cosmic wire

You can't lease the flame from the solar fire

Chorus

Meter on the sky, who you tryin' to fool?

The universe don't follow corporate rules

Space-age suits, you lame-brain clowns

The whole damn cosmos is gonna tear it down

Post-Chorus

Can't charge the light

Can't charge the light

No no no

Can't charge the light

Bridge

One note from the bass and, CRACK!

Solar collectors shatter like glass

The groove went deep through the stratosphere

Broke the whole machine right here

Can't meter the soul

Can't meter the soul

Hand over that sunshine

Let the good times roll

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus

You can't put a meter on the morning ray

You can't charge a brother for a brand new day

Chorus

Meter on the sky, who you tryin' to fool?

The universe don't follow corporate rules

Space-age suits, you lame-brain clowns

The whole damn cosmos is gonna tear it down

Post-Chorus

Can't charge the light

Can't charge the light

No no no

Can't charge the light

Outro

Ow!

The light is free now

(Can't charge the light)

Let it shine on everybody

(Can't charge the light)

The universe don't take no checks...
