Bad Brains - Sailin' On Lyrics






You don't want me anymore,
So I'll just walk right out that door.
Played a game right from the start,
I trust you, you used me, now my heart's all torn apart.

So I'm sailin', well I'm sailin' on.
I'm movin', hey I'm movin' on.
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

Try to see if I'll give up,
But there wasn't any luck.
That's a fact, a fact of life.
That's the game, game of strife, everything is all in stride.

So I'm sailin', well I'm sailin' on.
I'm movin', hey I'm movin' on.
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

So I'm sailin', well I'm sailin' on.
I'm movin', hey I'm movin' on.
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

There's too many years with too many tears,
Too many days with nothin' to say.
How will we know when there's nowhere to grow?
What's the facts for life too short?

    Interesting hardcore punk rock. Never heard any Bad Brains pre-Quickness but I like this. Still prefer its heavy metal material over this, though.

    First time I heard the Brains I was 14. It was 87 88 and this was the first song I had ever heard from them. I was already into punk/ hardcore and I was floored. They were fast skilled and no joke. It became a choice to love them. Viva la Bad Brains

  14. 4.... ....

    HIM covered this song pretty great.

    I trust you, you used me, now my heart's all torn apart.

    So I'm sailin', well I'm sailin' on. 
    I'm movin', hey I'm movin' on.
    Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

    Try to see if I'll give up,
    But there wasn't any luck.
    That's a fact, a fact of life.
    That's the game, game of strife, everything is all in stride.

    So I'm sailin', well I'm sailin' on. 
    I'm movin', hey I'm movin' on.
    Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

    So I'm sailin', well I'm sailin' on. 
    I'm movin', hey I'm movin' on.
    Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.

    There's too many years with too many tears,
    Too many days with nothin' to say.
    How will we know when there's nowhere to grow?
    What's the facts for life to show?

  22. R.... H....

    If this doesn't motivate....

    Sink or Sail in 2018

  23. D.... G....

    Punk rock lives on as we enter 2018.. you just don't know where to find it. Search up 'Prisoner' by HeadAche - real DIY punk rock shit!!!

  24. k.... ....

    I trust you, you use me, now my life's all torn apart

    So I'm sailing, yeah I'm sailing on
    I'm moving, yeah I'm moving on
    Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on

    Tried to see if I'll give up
    But there wasn't any luck
    It's a fact, a fact of life
    That's the game, game of strife everything is all in stride

    Too many years with too many tears
    And too many days with none to say
    So how will we know when there's nowhere to grow
    The fact of life, life too short oh

    J.... D....

    Thank you. The only vids I could find with lyrics were karaoke. Who would have thought that there were karaoke versions of Bad Brains songs?

  28. m.... ....

    this is very smilar to another song IMO especially in the vocal melody. Does anyone know which one?

    m.... ....

    Motorbreath by Metallica

  29. a.... l....

    walk right out tha doooorrrrr

  30. m.... ....

    FCKN ROCK EN ROLL!!!!!

  31. C.... V....

    Bob Marley on cocaine! :D awesome lol

    C.... V....

    Bob Marley wishes he was this talented

    C.... V....

    ahahah thats great i had never thought about it that way. its a great analogy

    C.... V....

    Chriz V. Bob Marley with bipolar schizo affective manic psychosis

    C.... V....

    Cystal meth more like

    C.... V....

    Mixed with some decent crack

  32. M.... T....

    when you listen to this music you just wanna dance and jump around what we can't say about other genres just drink your grain and go out and beat the shit out of everyone but don't get a shit

  33. D.... D....

    Bad Brains >>>> anyone else imo

    D.... D....

    DUDE DUDERSON bf3 soundtrack > bad brains

    (Lmao not really but gottta love that Bf3 song)

  34. K.... L....

    Voy navegando¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ lml

  35. �.... V....

    Охуенная песня

  36. S.... &....

    These typical punk riffs are so damn fuckin' good. It's pretty too bad that it sounds like a crap home made record but I think it makes the charm and the authanticity of a marginal band.

    S.... &....

    The low quality makes it sound more raw.

    S.... &....

    theres a release that has this song on a neat 80s production by rick ocasek, it's far inferior because its just too sanitary and not fun for this type of band

  37. g.... ....

    My God, this is REALLY fucking fast. It's basically the aural equivalent of driving 100 miles an hour on a dangerous highway. Truly wondrous how hardcore could be so intense.

    g.... ....

    hardcore is somewhat a synonym for intense I don't see how you're so surprised

  38. D.... J....

    punk = real music

    D.... J....

    punk & metal = best

    D.... J....

    @lunch box tooth pick metal is not music. they stole everything from rock and roll and try to do it 'punk' ( harder). metal is just copy on real music. whitch is, offcaurse, hardcore. hxc punk is truley punk that has nothing to do with rock.

    D.... J....

    Psycho Bastard I think he was generalizing when he said punk, so all genres

    D.... J....

    Depends..I wouldn't consider pop punk "real music." Then again I wouldn't consider any music that used the adjective pop as a descriptor.

    D.... J....

    @Ives Nedic metal is music dumass

  39. T.... ....

    feelin' this

  40. P.... F....

    lyrics?

  41. M.... I....

    too bad... to brains!
    wanna more? try HC!

  42. f.... k....

    I was hangin out with HR in DC in about '83. I remember how pissed he was that white bands like fugazi and minor threat would get LOTS of press attention but bad brains were always overlooked

    f.... k....

    bullshit
    fugazi didn't exist in 83
    you are either a troll or a moron
    or both

    f.... k....

    @Lindsey McKirdy My guess is that he probably meant Minor Threat instead of Fugazi.

    f.... k....

    Well, there were no black punk bands....probably still. If THIS is an example of black punk bands then fuck....we were ripped off.

    f.... k....

    Swaggy Bickford false

    f.... k....

    I mean Fugazi and Bad Brains are barely in the same category of punk, no use comparing this to The Argument.

  43. L.... S....

    <3 <3 <3

  44. M.... S....

    I came here because of the Stone Sour cover and honestly, as much as I love stone sour, I like this version a hell of a lot better.

    M.... S....

    disgusting

    M.... S....

    Without a doubt it sounds better because it IS

  45. h.... f....

    xrayultra said bad brains sailin changed his life..why i check it out..need to get more familiar.first time i heard..and justice for all..i didnt like it after a few more listens it became my favorite for years..i am 59 ya know.

  46. J.... R....

    Ty Dolla Sign brought me here. Interesting!

    J.... R....

    +Jasmine Royal They also do reggae music! I must say I was suprised to see a bunch of Rasta men playing hardcore punk in 1982. They are legends in the scene and influenced everybody! The reggae dub albums are nice to sit back and smoke to totally different music I recommend it!

  47. R.... D....

    I learned about these guys reading Dave Grohl's biography . He spoke very highly of their music. I'm glad I discovered them! Love that punk sound!

    R.... D....

    The Godfather’s of hardcore

  48. C.... P....

    just got offa work at 530am. smashing down the street on my board with this in my ears. no electric skates here. PUSH

    C.... P....

    Carlitos Padilla fuck you

    C.... P....

    Voy a hacer lo mismo

    C.... P....

    2 years old post and im still feeling this post right here. 👍👍👍

    C.... P....

    YES I hate longboarders and electric boards

    C.... P....

    Do a kickflip at full speed bro !!!

  49. h.... ....

    history right here

  50. F.... C....

    That weird feeling when you're a white nationalist and an old fan of Bad Brains. Life is strange, folks.

    F.... C....

    The reactions to Fernando's comment proves that being right-wing is the new counter-culture. PC left-wingers are part of the establishment and can't handle oppossing views, despite claiming to be "open minded punk rockers". What a bunch of twonks they are.

    F.... C....

    Fuck you

    F.... C....

    djdanman99  white nationalism has nothing to do with being patriotic dipshit

    F.... C....

    Nazi Punks Fuck Off

    F.... C....

    You sound like an asshole.

  51. m.... s....

    Why does this song feel like it's 5 minutes long?

    m.... s....

    +nipper seaturtle I know, right?! check out this cover of mine https://soundcloud.com/l-h-rock-music/sallin-on-cover-low-high

    m.... s....

    +marla singer Basically a condensed song. by 1 min in, its already had its second chorus finished. then it has a lil break/solo, back to chorus then outro. normal song formula condensed.

    m.... s....

    marla singer yeah

    m.... s....

    It's because they packed a lot in, in a small amount of time. I guess you could say that they're very efficient.

  52. j.... z....

    This is a great song. I love HIM's cover of it too

    j.... z....

    justin zach yes!! Somebody said it!

  53. T.... E....

    I love the terms it ends on like, "Hey, y'all need to calm the fuck down." It's also a nice sample of their roots.

  54. a.... ....

    Their best song. I am also just sailing on and there is no death.

    a.... ....

    +aivopark https://soundcloud.com/l-h-rock-music/sallin-on-cover-low-high

  55. S.... H....

    Instant classic.

  56. V.... M....

    Happy Black History Month!

    V.... M....

    @***** evErY MontH

  57. C.... A....

    I can't believe Moby did a cover of this LOL

    C.... A....

    He was in a hardcore punk band in the early 80s. Weird but apparently not a poseur.

  58. C.... A....

    the bad brains music is for certain people, with a certain personality. We know something you don't know, sheep!!! Go watch TV.... Baaaaaaa!!!

    C.... A....

    +Corey Allen How's the weather up there on your high horse?

    C.... A....

    High indeed.

    C.... A....

    Corey Allen Word. I & I agree 100%

    C.... A....

    YTPNoob lol, ketamine gets horses high.

  59. d.... ....

    Frust!
     
    Can't get this to sound the same as the original plastic waffle I had.
     
    Crapola!

  60. R.... ....

    Guess what music is noise. It's taking sound and organizing it. Your simple mind hears really fast music as noise you have to listen a little deeper than that. Your just hearing what's on the surface and calling it out. You sound like some old man haha. "What is that god forsaking noise". hahaha

  61. e.... ....

    Looove jaaahhh <3

  62. a.... .....

    BLACK HAAAAAAAAAARDCORE

  63. T.... C....

    NAAAARDCOOORE

  64. a.... ....

    Go choke on the business end of a shotgun..

  65. T.... C....

    Cmon i know your lying, You got a nardcore symbol as your picture. 805!

  66. N.... ....

    ok, immA listen 2 three days grace, its better than this crap loll

    N.... ....

    Is that a joke?

  67. M.... ....

    Go listen to emo

  68. N.... ....

    lol butthurt

  69. R.... R....

    Metamorphosis67 You are an idiot. Music is music, bad brains are music, technically all music is noise. And punk isn't just a bunch of people all left wing politics, it isn't just about politics and doesn't matter if u r left or right wing.

  70. M.... ....

    Emocore? No. Fuck you.

  71. s.... ....

    One of the best post ambient emocore-a-billy songs of our generation.

  72. J.... ....

    Amen brother!

  73. S.... ....

    you are why babies cry man

  74. S.... ....

    Sir, be quiet please. You are rude.

  75. T.... ....

    Well, if you don't like it, then go listing to green day or something.

  76. S.... G....

    This mob ruled. I met up with them in a London hotel in 1988 to do an interview with Phil Alexander for Raw Magazine.

  77. w.... ....

    3 people thought this was not rock'n roll

  78. L.... B....

    That was great. The bricks thing.

  79. A.... C....

    You make good points and really just blew my mind, but music is structured noise. While most punk is sloppily played, there is structure to the songs. There are many forms of art that don't follow the traditional rules of art of the past, but that doesn't discredit their artistic value, it's just different.

  80. E.... T....

    i just peed on your carpet, Jesus..

  81. E.... T....

    i smell burnt toast.

  82. t.... j....

    cheers!

  83. T.... F....

    your an idiot and for the record i never said it was anything else just simply stated an opinion

  84. T.... F....

    -_- to a point

  85. T.... F....

    first i said it wasn't pure rock so your first statement is already invalid, and seems you're just looking for something to argue about. Your second second statement is basically stating exactly what i said in different words so why you felt the need to comment is beyond me.

  86. H.... G....

    Exactly. thats why i said this is what they call it today. And between crust punk and black metal, believe me there is a difference. You cant just put them under the label of hardcore punk. Hardcore punk is the root of these extreme genres.

  87. k.... ....

    Jesus...that IS a joke. Crust punk? Black metal? Who thinks up this rubbish? I bought this album 30 years ago (actually it was only released on cassette) and it was just top shelf Hardcore Punk...and still is.

  88. D.... G....

    this is youtube, where nobody is allowed to speak their mind.

  89. T.... F....

    all of you commenting back to me stating that this is for a fact hard core who the fuck cares? do you really have nothing better to do than put a label on music thats supposedly against labels?
    go fuck yourself you generic dogs

  90. p.... t....

    haha thats a great comparison!

  91. g.... ....

    its hardcore punk. get your facts str8. this isnt hey oh. lets go. hey oh lets go bullshit

  92. R.... ....

    It's like rock and roll is cocaine and punk is crack

  93. p.... t....

    punk is the purest form of rock and roll.

  94. H.... G....

    Apart from the fast bluesy solo THIS is what they call today crust punk/black metal. No joke.

  95. S.... C....

    Punk isn't rock n roll, you jackass. It's punk. Rock n Roll is about looking cool and being loud. Punk is about whatever the fuck you want it to be.

  96. D.... ....

    dude fuck the new hardcore metal bands like terror and hatebreed. This is the shit!!
