IDRIS (UK)
Unnecessary Things
[Intro, Idris Elba]
You're addicted to life
Everything we do, there's a price
Even when we're bored of this shite
It's alright, when you're shy
It's alright
[Verse 1]
She double-parked her old car
Fading sun, door ajar
She says, "Why walk when we could be driving?"
It's not the journey, it's how we're arriving
Dirty, perfect, I forget
All my plans with few regrets
She spends her money when she's got no savings
Only get older, what's thе point in waiting?
Doing her own thing
No banging on with dumb necessitiеs
I finally found a girl that's loving
Going her own way
[Chorus]
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinkin' 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinkin' 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around
[Verse 2]
You should be bored once in a while, press pause
I'm in fast-forward all the time
I'm restless, for no cause, breathless
But no one's told us they're dying
You find your limit, one next minute
I'm no critic (Don't take it when you could give it)
The girls keep living
But you're the villain
[Chorus]
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinkin' 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around
We ain't got time to fool around
Unnecessary things to be thinkin' 'bout
If in doubt
Unnecessary things always stick around
[Bridge, Idris Elba]
Yeah, hey, you know that feeling
When you're just staring at the ceiling
And you're tryna break right through it
But all you get is this sinking
Thinking that you could be elsewhere just living
Through the experience you like
Both hands on the steering
You're going forward or left or the right
You're really bored of this shite
What's the point of waiting tonight?
When we've got the rest of our lives
To turn these wrongs into rights
And put our name up in lights
Before the day that we die
All these unnecessary things we cannot take to the light
No no, hey
This is the shit we should be doing with life
This is the point where we should fly like a kite
It's alright now, it's alright now
To the light, yeah
What's the point when everything we do is in line
Take a seat, listen to Louis and I
It's alright now, we're just shy guys
[Instrumental Outro]
