lyrics

You can't stand on this wave
But you keep paddling out
Paddling out

You can not stand on this wave
Stand on this wave
So you go down down Down


You can not handle the storm
What are you battling for
Corruption injustice is law
Must just be lusting for war
Love should be coming up more
But you keep rubbing the sore
Till it festers gets infected and you have to cut it off
We stick to infighting
Instead of staying enlightened
Internet debates inciting
regulation change and tighten
But the people stay divisive
Instead of being decisive
And it could just save your life
To fight the fight worth fighting.

You can't stand on this wave
But you keep paddling out
Paddling out

You can not stand on this wave
Stand on this wave
So you go down down Down

You are just caught it the foam
Life crashes down and you roll
Trying not to drown
while also trying to gain control
Everything you say you know
Is constantly in question
Ideologies are mentioned
Without logic or intention
When your freedom of expression
Ends up causing all the tension
With your comments and your mentions
You're the problem you're lamenting
We are all the victims of deception
But we'll never learn the lesson
without connection
And deeper introspection

The New Groovement Victoria, British Columbia

For a decade The New Groovement has been the funk, hip-hop machine of Victoria, BC. The band features a 4-piece horn section and enough guitar, bass and drums to get you dancing. The original line-up has shifted over the years, the current frontman and emcee Shane Blaq keeps it funky fresh. To quote Ed the Sock, “this band should be bigger than it is, not like in roster but in popularity.” ... more
