Everybody’s looking for something I’m not looking for much Something’s better than nothing Is nothing better than some I understand what You’re saying And I’m not making a fuss What’s the point of building a mansion If everything’s turning to dust Now I’m a gonna tell ya what I just found Are You pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down I can’t handle what the enemy stole But God’s got everything under control Everybody’s busy with something Nobody wants to hear Edgar’s digging His garden Mikey’s having a beer Elephants in the bedroom But He is not making a sound Stephan’s preaching it louder and louder And louder all over town! Now I’m a gonna tell ya what I just found Are You pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down I can’t handle what the enemy stole But God’s got everything under control So are You picking up what I’m laying down Gonna tell everyone what I just found Take my message and pass it around Are You picking up what I’m laying down I know this sounds like nonsense To an empty heart and soul Why You scratching Your head again Gotta get it under control Life ain’t easy Strange things all around Leading You down a ruthless road Lost and never found Now I’m a gonna tell ya what I just found Are You pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down I can’t handle what the enemy stole But God’s got everything under control So are You picking up what I’m laying down Gonna tell everyone what I just found Take my message and pass .. it... around Coz I’m laying it down Pass it around Are You pickin’ up what I’m laying down
