Just A Test - Beastie Boys

Like a flag at half-mast as frames click fast

Not a thing will last as past is past

Like stacks of thoughts that got played and worn

Used over and over till they were tired and torn

Like a broken clock that can't tell time

Like a thick ass book that's filled with wack rhymes

Like a scorching blaze that burned the sand

Like a band that planned and planned and planned

And flew down like a raven in the dark of night

And snatched up the worm helpless to fight

And brought it back to the nest, singing microphone check

One two one two, this is just a test

One two one two, this is just a test

One two one two, this is just a test

Like sand in one hand You can't hold for long

Like scheming on a plan that goes all wrong

It's like fudge and caramel, they're not the same

And it's a shame, all you talk is game

You act like a diamond waiting to be set

In a gold ring, as if, I bet

As time goes by in this give and take

As long as I learn I will make mistakes

Now, what do I want? What do I need?

Why do I want it? What's in it for me?

It's the imagery of technology

Is what you get is what you see

Don't worry your mind

When you give it your best

One two one two, this is just a test

One two one two, this is just a test

One two one two, this is just a test

Come on-come on, come on-come on

Come on-come on, come on-come on

Come on-come on, come on-come on

Come on-come on, come on-come on
