Song blueprint

A heavyweight funk-metal revival sermon: a shouted one-chord funk vamp welded to a detuned doom riff, with gospel piano and a picked, trebly countermelody bass carrying the melodic payload. The groove is the song; every section is an event, and the band answers the frontman's commands like a drilled revue.

heavy funk / doom-riff hard rock / gospel soul / progressive rock / big-band R&B · 104 BPM

From a simulated 12-year career with 11 major hits, peaking in year 9.

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Count it off — one!

[VERSE]
Floor took my name, the ceiling took my pride,
I been down so long I learned the underside.
But the boiler's lit and the bell is coming round,
I got two good feet and a reason to make sound.
Hey — ain't no mercy in the morning,
Hey — so I give the morning mine.

[PRECHORUS]
Feel it climbing up the spine,
band hold steady, hold the line —
one more measure, let me go,
hit me now!

[CHORUS]
Hit the ground running!  (running!)
Hit the ground running!  (running!)
If the sky won't carry me I'll carry the sky,
Hit the ground running — don't you ask me why.

[VERSE]
Every bone is a drum and I play what I've been given,
every scar a stripe for the staying and the living.
Preacher in the smoke say the river's gonna rise,
so I built myself a boat out of other people's lies.
Hey — I been late to my own rescue,
Hey — now I'm early every time.

[PRECHORUS]
Shoulders back and teeth in tight,
trouble came, I set it right —
hold it, hold it, let me go,
hit me now!

[CHORUS]
Hit the ground running!  (running!)
Hit the ground running!  (running!)
If the sky won't carry me I'll carry the sky,
Hit the ground running — don't you ask me why.

[BREAKDOWN]
Drop it down... bass by itself now... I said bass!
Piano, testify.

[BRIDGE]
There's a dark note under every happy song,
hold it long enough and the dark turns strong —
so take the low road higher,
take the ash and make the fire.

[CHORUS]
Hit the ground running!  (running!)
Hit the ground running!  (running!)
If the sky won't carry me I'll carry the sky,
Hit the ground running — I was born to fly.
Hit the ground running!  (running!)

[OUTRO]
Running, running, running on —
(run on, run on)
I said run on!
