Takin' Back Daydreamin' feat. Robert Randolph

from Welcome to the Brassroots District by Brassroots District

/

lyrics

On the bus she’s staring
you might say a bit too long
she missed her stop, but ain't no thing
She just wrote her very first song

She's late to work but it don’t matter
Head’s in the clouds she’s doing fine
That old boss can’t pull her down
She’s floating up and staying high

All these expectations
Rules and regulations
Always keeping us in line

Inside every story
Heard in a melody
You will find that getting lost is getting free

We are taking back daydreaming
Let you know when we’re back from where our minds just had to go
Daydreaming
in the flow
We don’t need reality
it’s all for show

Drifting away in the office
While everyone’s in the grind
Ain’t no job gonna weigh me down
I can go anywhere in my mind

All these expectations
Rules and regulations
Always keeping us in line

We are taking back daydreaming
Let you know when we’re back from where our minds just had to go
Daydreaming
in the flow
We don’t need reality
it’s all for show

Brassroots District Los Angeles, California

As the outside world gets crazier, the inside groovehaus gets sweatier. Brassroots District is not a band. It's an idea. A musical collective. A respite from negativity. It's a space where freaks and businessmen, weirdos and stiffs come together for a night of unadulterated joy. To dance, sing, smoke, drink and make good, good love. ... more
