ben visini – please clap on 2 and 4 (old version) lyrics

[lyrics stolen from ben visini’s bandcamp]

verse 1
live show
the groove has moved into the crowd you
might blow
your chance to dance and what’s allowed? well
i know
how to do it right, gonna tell you about it
gonna tell you all about it
no more will anyone doubt it

this song’s in 4/4, wanna emphasize the upbeats
that’s 2 and 4, avoid those downbeats
1 and 3, clapping on those is just like dragging your feet
see not that hard of a feat
now everybody here, repeat after me, go:
2 4 2 4
clapping like that makes musicians nut on stage

chorus
you feel the rhythm inside of you
i know that deep down you know what to do
feel it through
one day you will realize it too
please clap on thе 2 and 4
i don’t wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
no, no, no, stop, just stop, no no no no no no

versе 2
if live music had a geneva convention
clapping on 1 and 3 would be a war crime (war crime!)
we have a drummer and a bassist here
please don’t distract them with your time (your time)
every time people get it wrong, we all die a little, bit by bit
you’re not cool or different for doing 1 and 3 especially at this point
after all i just said, jesus christ, you’d be a d+ck
you say you’re too drunk to clap on the hits
that’s no excuse, when i’m on stage i’m drunk as sh+t

chorus
you feel the rhythm inside of you
i know that deep down you know what to do
feel it through
one day you will realize it too
please clap on the 2 and 4
i don’t wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore

verse 3
maybe
there’s an assh0l+ in your local scene
inflated ego and they’re always mean
next time they play + you didn’t hear this from me
consider clapping on the 1 and 3
obviously i’m kidding, that’s crossing a line
i’m kidding again, yeah it’s totally fine
i’m joking again i’m kidding, that’s how much this means to me
i wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy
murder the song, you’ll do serious time
never forget, you’re committing a war crime
chorus
you feel the rhythm inside of you
i know that deep down you know what to do
feel it through
one day you will realize it too
woah
you feel the rhythm inside of you
i know that deep down you know what to do
feel it through
one day you will realize it too
please clap on the 2 and 4
i don’t wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
please clap on the 2 and 4
i don’t wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
please clap on the 2 and 4
i don’t wanna hear 1 and 3 anymore
