    The bridge of this song should have won him a grammy. So unique and creative. Amazing.

    I just want to say that i found this song while 2 tabs into an acid trip 6 months ago and because of this songs message, I completely dropped my shopping addiction, stopped using cocaine, quit drinking, quit all my toxic friends, quit my social media addiction, and stopped eating nothing but fast food. I listen to this often to remind myself of what matters. We all know how to be happy, we just have a hard time applying it to our lives. I've never been happier and healthier. Thank you for the amazing music and powerful message, dude. Take back your knowledge, friends.

    I don't know if everyone realizes how fucking amazing this is!!! Man, it's a great tune by itself, but seriously, can you realize how difficult this song is musically speaking? I consider myself a commiteted musician but I can tell that I not even close to the level of this guy. He sings in absolutely perfect pitch some odd melodies, do crazy octave jumps, record tons of overdubs live and not only is not static (and let's be fair, it would be acceptable because of all the concentration required to do all this stuff), but can still deliver a lot of emotion in his singing. Great tunes and and outstanding musician. I became an admirer.

      My thoughts exactly! I'm a musician myself and don't think the majority of people can grasp just how difficult it is to juggle all the effects and loop pedals he's using, and then to sing and play guitar the way he does. I get goose bumps watching this video every time, I'm honestly in awe of this dude!

This here is some extreme musical multitasking, and wow, he's good at it. I don't care for the style or the lyrics or the message, Mike Love is just such a talented musician.

But I don't realize that I'm very insecure about my own self and my own identity, so when I say something else is cringe it's because I'm experiencing secondhand embarrassment because I put myself in their situation, because I have a lot of empathy because overall I'm a very sensitive kid. But when I feel real emotions I wanna fight that off because I don't want to feel like I'm a good person! But deep down I really am because maybe, maybe, there's an intrinsic value to who I am bro, not just because my cock is huge, but because I'm a human being who has good morals. But fuck all that bro!

The disrespect was painful since Mike's music means so very much to me! I got to meet him after his set though!

      That's because it's still relevant! We still haven't taken back our power! We still get our knowledge from mainstream parasites! This song will remind the future generation of the freedom we once had! The NWO is coming! Cherish these moments because they will eventually be taken from you! Speak out of line and you will be punished! Keep paying your taxes to fund wars that nobody wants and line the pockets of the minority that continue to tell us how to live our lives! When will we say enough is enough! Billions are treated like sheep and not like an intelligent lifeform that exists because of this beautiful planet! Look at all the brain-dead zombies chasing money! These parasites are killing you, your family and life as we know it, all because they are told that money is why they are here! The collapse needs to happen! Watch all the weak get what they deserve! Watch them beg for something they neglected! Money isn't natural but so many blindly worship it! They choose an ideology over the gift of life! I'm trying not to get angry! Fight fire with fire and we all get burnt! Money is a religion! Look at us! What a pathetic waste of life! There is nothing more important than the gift of life! Now look at us! Mike love is bringing us back to our roots!

How do you propose we get those pedals and drums if we stop buying... ??? Nevertheless, great music, very powerful and inspirational tunes. Keep it up Mike Love and accompanying drummer.

      The place isn't his; he was invited there to perform a set. The place was rented by Hi-Sessions.
      He doesn't have a day job. All his equipment will have been bought using the money he's earned from performing and selling his own art. Yes, money's still involved, but it's not wage slavery if you enjoy what you do.
      Lastly, he's not saying to stop buying; he's saying to stop working in a job you don't enjoy where you live for the one week a year when you get to go on holiday.
      The best advice I've ever been given was to do only that which I enjoy and stubbornly refuse to do anything else. Personally, it's worked out pretty well.
      Anyway, glad you enjoyed the video too. My mind is blown by how good this is!

    Sam Ites on percussion doesn't get as much credit next to Mike Love, but he did an amazing job, too. It's easy to mess up a piece with the wrong percussion. Excellent minimal use of snare and cymbals for accent, his hand percussion is on point, and he provides a second voice in the right spots while keeping the beat. Credit where due.

    I saw him do this live 3 times... he does it just as well. One was a solo show and he did a bunch of songs with his looper. Just amazing. I met him and gave him a big hug twice during the festival. He walked around with his band and talked to everyone. He spent nearly 2 hours after his show meeting and taking time to talk to everyone that wanted to meet him, got pictures with him and his band. Just truly an amazing person. Mike Love is a real dude with healing intentions

    Lyrics^^
    Oh Lord, I’m on a permanent holiday
    I’m going outside to play
    I ain’t gonna slave away
    Not for no corporate Babylon
    I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games
    Oh Lord I’m taking the reins
    I’m breaking the chains
    I’m never gonna kneel, no way
    My prophet is Heaven sent
    No preacher or president can lead I astray
    They’ll never know
    I’m taking Jah highway home
    Oh I’ve got my own path to follow
    Don’t know if you’ll overstand
    I’ve got my own truth to swallow
    And you know that if I could you know I would throw my guitar on my back, pick up the slack, and leave here tomorrow
    But I know that I am a pawn of Babylon I got to face the facts, embrace the axe, and cut these chains off my sorrow
    So I’m on a permanent holiday
    I’m going outside to play
    I ain’t gonna slave away, no, not for no corporate babylon
    I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games
    Ten thousand years of captivity
    We must eventually
    Open up our eyes and see
    They’re manipulating we
    With so much uncertainty
    And so many mysteries
    Why are so few questioning
    The unnatural state of things?
    It’s a nightmare
    We’re living in a nightmare
    Everyone’s living so scared
    They’re virtually unaware
    Of this fear that rules their lives
    Occupies, consumes their minds
    This fear of bankruptcy
    Financial impotancy
    It’s funny money, money, money
    It’s all this digital currency, woah yeah
    It’s all this monopoly money
    That keeps us from ever being free
    And so it seems we’ll be in this prison for life
    ’cause if we keep buying then they’ll keep selling the lie
    So it’s up to I and I…
    Ohh Lord,
    _I won’t be manipulated, mind-controlled, and inundated
    I will seek the Revelation, make my life a celebration
    I will be the change I’m seeking, manifest the words I’m speaking
    I refuse to be imprisoned. I will make my own decisions_
    I’m on a permanent holiday
    I’m going outside to play
    I ain’t gonna slave away
    Not for no corporate babylon
    I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games
    Oh Lord I’m taking the reins
    I’m breaking the chains
    I’m never gonna kneel, no way
    My prophet is Heaven sent
    No preacher or president can lead I astray
    They’ll never know. I’m taking Jah highway home
    I’ll never go astray
    I’m leaving the past
    And forwarding fast
    ’cause freedom is here to stay
    Oh Lord we got to take back the knowledge
    We got to take back the power
    We got to take back the knowledge
    We got to take back the power
    We got to take back the knowledge
    To take back the power
    Take back what they have stolen from our hearts
    And we got to take back the esoteric knowledge
    Ohh Lord for too long they’ve been keeping us apart
    Ohh yes, we got to take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don’t let this be our final hour

    I’m breaking the chains
    I’m never gonna kneel, no way
    My prophet is Heaven sent
    No preacher or president can lead I astray
    They’ll never know
    I’m taking Jah highway home
    Oh I’ve got my own path to follow
    Don’t know if you’ll overstand
    I’ve got my own truth to swallow
    And you know that if I could you know I would throw my guitar on my back, pick up the slack, and leave here tomorrow
    But I know that I am a pawn of Babylon I got to face the facts, embrace the axe, and cut these chains off my sorrow
    So I’m on a permanent holiday
    I’m going outside to play
    I ain’t gonna slave away, no, not for no corporate babylon
    I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games
    Ten thousand years of captivity
    We must eventually
    Open up our eyes and see
    They’re manipulating we
    With so much uncertainty
    And so many mysteries
    Why are so few questioning
    The unnatural state of things?
    It’s a nightmare
    We’re living in a nightmare
    Everyone’s living so scared
    They’re virtually unaware
    Of this fear that rules their lives
    Occupies, consumes their minds
    This fear of bankruptcy
    Financial impotancy
    It’s funny money, money, money
    It’s all this digital currency, woah yeah
    It’s all this monopoly money
    That keeps us from ever being free
    And so it seems we’ll be in this prison for life
    ’cause if we keep buying then they’ll keep selling the lie
    So it’s up to I and I…
    Ohh Lord, I won’t be manipulated, mind-controlled, and inundated
    I will seek the Revelation, make my life a celebration
    I will be the change I’m seeking, manifest the words I’m speaking
    I refuse to be imprisoned. I will make my own decisions
    I’m on a permanent holiday
    I’m going outside to play
    I ain’t gonna slave away
    Not for no corporate babylon
    I’m never gonna be a pawn in their manipulation games
    Oh Lord I’m taking the reins
    I’m breaking the chains
    I’m never gonna kneel, no way
    My prophet is Heaven sent
    No preacher or president can lead I astray
    They’ll never know. I’m taking Jah highway home
    I’ll never go astray
    I’m leaving the past
    And forwarding fast
    ’cause freedom is here to stay
    Oh Lord we got to take back the knowledge
    We got to take back the power
    We got to take back the knowledge
    We got to take back the power
    We got to take back the knowledge
    To take back the power
    Take back what they have stolen from our hearts
    And we got to take back the esoteric knowledge
    Ohh Lord for too long they’ve been keeping us apart
    Ohh yes, we got to take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don’t let this be our final hour
    Take back the knowledge, take back the power, humanity don’t let this be our final hour. (x7)
    Take back the knowledge
    Take back the power

    First time hearing this song. The singing and percussion were awesome and the deep lyrics were striking a chord with me. I was really feeling the music and the guitar solo at 3:35 confirmed to me that this man has some serious musical talent.
    Then...the pause at 4:23. ( Looking back, this was the moment that expanded my mind as to what music can be).
    I was getting into the groove of the song and I initially thought that the pause was a bit abrupt. And then...it started to happen. I didn't know what was happening to be honest...I wanted the groove back...and then...I started to understand. I was witnessing pure genius-level lyrical magic.
    This song is so powerful and our brothers here are conveying their message in an amazing way. Thank you!

      *****
      No corporations would leave you without that pretty house this was recorded in, that provided excellent acoustics. You won't have any of the electronic equipment there, nor will you have the guitar, drums and cymbals used. They're all made, sold, imported, exported, transported and designed by corporations.
      My point isn't that people aren't creative. My point is that the lyrics are hypocritical about wanting to disconnect so bad, and yet he won't even show any attempt other than superficially appearing anti-establishment.
      What I'm saying is this guy is a false hippy, and this song is a corporate product. This isn't some private person recording something from their bedroom. This is a professional recording and filming session with proper lighting and sound mixing.

    Saw this preformed live and I have to say Mike is by far on the most talented people in the industry today and with meaningful lyrics and can just feel the love he exuberates!
