Like walkin' on the moon was such a good feeling
Lyin' in bed and I'm staring at the ceiling
Can't wake up on Monday morning
Thinkin' about what makes me yawn and

As I look outside it's raining, pouring
Cats and dogs I want to do no more an'
When I gotta get up an get out my bed
Rather sleep in late and smoke a be

Load instead
'Cause the harder you try
Less you succeed
Don't try at all and get everything you need

'Cause the harder you fall
More it's gon' bleed
Watch where you steppin'
'Cause you best not step on me

I said the harder you try
Less you succeed
Don't try at all and get everything you need
'Cause the harder you fall

More it's gon' bleed
Watch where you steppin'
'Cause you best not step on me
'Cause if you're ugly on the outside

It don't matter
If you're beauty on the inside
It overpowers
If the beauty on the outside

It won't matter
If you're ugly on the inside
Baby don't want it
And if you the type of person getting no recognition

Reach inside your pockets
And then all your money missin' an'
You want to shoot your guns
But you got no ammunition

Open up your mind and find
It's time to take a listen
The harder you try
Less you succeed

Don't try at all and get everything you need
'Cause the harder you fall
More it's gon' bleed
Watch where you steppin'

'Cause you best not step on me
I said the harder you try
Less you succeed
Don't try at all and get everything you need

'Cause the harder you fall
More it's gon' bleed
Watch where you steppin'
'Cause you best not step on me

It's always hard when you're working for the other man
Tyrin' to make a dollar with the palms of my empty hand
It seems so easily
But it never seems to last long

Thinkin' thatcha got it for a minute then a minute's gone
The harder you try
Less you succeed
Don't try at all and get everything you need

'Cause the harder you fall
More it's gon' bleed
Watch where you steppin'
'Cause you best not step on me

I said the harder you try
Less you succeed
Don't try at all and get everything you need
'Cause the harder you fall

More it's gon' bleed
Watch where you steppin'
'Cause you best not step on me

    General Comment:The harder you try the less you succeed
    Don't try at all and get everything you need

    first time i heard that I was like that makes no sense, cause you need to try and put in work to have success but I realized hes just sayin just live and "everything you need" will fall into place around you and i guess if you try too hard to get the things you want and you dont get them then "the harder you fall more its gone bleed".

    "And if you the type of person getting no recognition
    Reach inside your pocket feelin all your money missin
    And you wanna shoot your gunz but you got no ammunition
    Open up your mind, body, soul and take a listen"

    Amazing line

    General Comment:I love slightly stoopid, but i must say that im a little disappointed that i'm starting to hear them on the radio. I heard 2 am today in the car and my jaw dropped. But even if they are starting to get out there on the radio and such you can never stop lovin their chilled out music. best live performers i must say.

    General Comment:even without being mainstream, slightly stoopid reaches who it needs to reach. that's why their concerts are so much fun.. there's so much energy and united love for this amazing band.
