311 - Revelation Of The Year Lyrics
We are not so different, you and I
no matter what we think
we’re kicking against the traces, bludgeoning
trying to make it sink
peeling layers of the onion right down
cuz that is part of my style to
risk to be left with nothing
in pursuit of chasing something
out of hand
I know, I know don’t tell me
I’ve been on this earth
I know the moon like a friend
I hear a tune or someone sing
these words woman
we have some children
I got memories with you
I wonder how it ends
it’s beautiful yes
what we have chosen
with love in our hands
we have made this garden
& I think I can ride
although I’m not a horseman
but I have a patient mind
& it’s open
We don’t want to walk into the gray
solo rolling with no map in hand
so we reach out for someone to grasp
keep from sinking into the sand
Pick it up now brother help another pick it up
don’t get stuck in the destruction looming near
pick it up now brother help another pick it up
this is the revelation of the year
Picking up all the pieces here and there
to see if one might fit
spinning them around and sideways and up and down
it kinda stings a bit
Digging through all the ditches just unwinding all the stitches into thread
then hang it out to dry so
what was I expecting just collecting balls of lint up in my head?
I know I know don’t yell at me
I know you’re tired of the same routine
you have that look on your face
I think I know what it means
out of sorts in a vast machine
a worker bee up in the scene
never will be the queen
& yes sometimes you have to sting
expose the schemes to unlock the dreams
ignite quicker than the gasoline
to mask everything again in a smokescreen
We don’t want to walk into the gray
solo rolling with no map in hand
so we reach out for someone to grasp
keep from sinking into the sand

2020, this is still a jam!👽
*ATTN Chad & DJ Lofton*
This song definitely has a strong Country music rooted sound- musically & vocally. Especially the chorus. It'll be perfect to hear ROTY completely remade in the studio as 311's first official country song. 👊🏼 #First311CountrySong
Very transistor like
This is so whack
You're a downer...
How have I missed out on Stereolithic?! Bad 311 fan, Jessica! 😂
Jessica Icard hope you didn't miss "mosaic" too
50 lashes with a wet noodle for you, Jessica....lol

LYRICS
We are not so different, you and I
No matter what we think
We’re kicking against the traces, bludgeoning
Trying to make it sink
We’re stepping into the unknown
Peeling layers of the onion right down
'Cause that is part of my style to
Risk to be left with nothing
In pursuit of chasing something out of hand
I know, I know don’t tell me
I’ve been on this earth, I know the moon like a friend
I hear a tune or someone sing, feel the beauty in them
These words, woman we have some children
I got memories with you, I wonder, how it ends
It’s beautiful yes, what we have chosen
With love in our hands we have made this garden
And I think I can ride although I’m not a horseman
But I have a patient mind and it’s open
We don’t want to walk into the gray
Solo rolling with no map in hand
So we reach out for someone to grasp
Keep from sinking into the sand
Pick it up now brother help another pick it up
Don’t get stuck in the destruction looming near
Pick it up now brother help another pick it up
This is the revelation of the year
Picking up all the pieces here and there
To see if one might fit
Spinning them around and sideways and up and down
It kinda stings a bit
Digging through all the ditches
Just unwinding all the stitches, into thread
Then hang it out to dry so
What was I expecting 'cause collecting balls of lint up in my hand?
I know I know don’t yell at me
I know you’re tired of the same routine
You have a look on your face
I think I know what it means
Out of sorts in a vast machine
A worker bee up in the scene never will be the queen
And yes sometimes you have to sting
Expose the schemes to unlock the dreams
Ignite quicker than the gasoline
To mask everything again in a smokescreen
We don’t want to walk into the gray
Solo rolling with no map in hand
So we reach out for someone to grasp
Keep from sinking into the sand
Pick it up now brother help another pick it up
Don’t get stuck in the destruction looming near
Pick it up now brother help another pick it up
This is the revelation of the year

Wish that last riff would go on forever. Loveeeee it baby.
This album grew on me like that garden in SA's hands.
Sounds very Mega Man-y. : )
Too slow paced.
#Grassman
such a gem...whole album kicks!!!
This song makes me feel like I'm floating in space! Such an excellent album all around! :)
+tamaplayer100 Positivity is where it's at.
It sure is! @ParadiXe311
Give 311 the thumbs up they deserve!!
Nice job Mahoney! A real FEEL GOOD vibe to this track! It's one of 311's songs that, no matter what mood you're in, you can't help to feel happy listening to this track, bros!
It gives me the pure bliss of happiness when I hear it, very similar to Strong All Along! I hope you guys put out more albums independently with just the 6th member-Ralston... Like I said on a Twitter post before, it's 100% concentrated 311, with ZERO dilution! Musical PERFECTION.
P-NUT.... Brother... I will continue to request and beg that 311 makes Stereolithic a Trilogy concept album 3 disc set! (311 HAS to chart all territory to be the 311est)
Chad, with more progressive musical styles like First Dimension. (INCREDIBLE!)
And like you said... A 311 Comedy & (haha) Country song
MORE METAL like Ex Hero DEFINITELY!
An instrumental with the musical style of Friday Afternoon.
And how about this.... 311 hasn't really made a song sequel.... I think you know what song choice I'm talking about when I say a part 2 of The Great Divide!
Martinez, bring more Spanish lyrics out holmes! I love it!

You know they are not done yet!
Mahoney always comes through man. Even on the albums I don't like as much.
This album just felt kinda...empty, but there was still was 2 or 3 good songs on it; didn't stop loving 311 anymore than I already do.
That's what I thought at first too but this album has really grown on me.
Nophera It grew on me. At first I didn't care too much but now it's one of my favorites. :D
ive had lots of albums i didnt like at first and grew to be my favorites
i'll go back and give this one the same chance the others got
S.A.'s line's sort of sound like his lines from "Tribute". Awesome song.
So good
Reggae Rastah.
Wild sounding guitar in this track! Wowzer!
Like this on to nice
