Jamiroquai - Light Years

People tell me I’m no good
’Cause I’m expressing all my sentiments
Now I got to channel all my vehemence
For the benefit of my self-defence
And you can be a do-gooder
But true sincerity ain’t charity
It can take a life time to be
How you wanna be

You can be light years
Away from serious intention
And I thought I knew it all
Someday I’d get to turn mankind this way
If you don’t know you can be light years
Away from your true destination
No conscious escalation
Until I get with good vibration
I’m never gonna get to use that earthly power
Substitutes can never take the place of peace of mind
Losing all sense of direction

When you’re light years
Too far away to turn your back on substitution
There is no u-turn on a one way route
Going up when I learn to love the life I can bite the fruit
Now I got sunshine in my life

Light years
Never to return to Babylon
See money don’t make a man
But if you really want you get there anyway you can
