[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Bright Garage-Rock Guitar, Driving Bass, Punchy Drums, Hammond Organ Stabs and Rising Analog Synth]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nRaise it…
\n(Why?)
\nRaise the bar.
\n(But how high…)
\nCan we go?
\n(Do you know?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nOne more step
\nOne more climb
\nMove the marker
\nOne more time<\/p>\n
Set the standard
\nSet the pace
\nPush the limit
\nChange the race<\/p>\n
Yesterday
\nWas yesterday
\nTomorrow
\nMoves away<\/p>\n
What we thought
\nWas far enough
\nSuddenly
\nIs gettin’ tough<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nRaising the bar
\n(Sound bizarre)
\nGonna see how far
\n(We push, push, push)<\/p>\n
Gotta raise the bar
\n(To accommodate the state)
\n… the state we’re in…
\n(Begin!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nHeat goes up
\nWater climbs
\nStorms arrive
\nAt different times<\/p>\n
Old assumptions
\nLose their grip
\nWhen the system
\nStarts to shift<\/p>\n
What was rare
\nBecomes routine
\nWhat was distant
\nNow is seen<\/p>\n
Adaptation
\nIsn’t fear
\nIt’s responding
\nTo what’s already here<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Electric Guitar Solo: Energetic Blues-Rock Lead With Wah-Wah, Hammond Organ, Synth Arpeggios and Driving Drums]
\n[Bridge]
\nThe bar was built
\nFor yesterday<\/p>\n
Yesterday
\nIs gone<\/p>\n
If the baseline
\nMoves beneath us<\/p>\n
Then the baseline
\nMust move on<\/p>\n
[Rap Vocal Break]
\nRaise the standard
\nRaise the floor
\nMeasure more
\nOf what’s in store
\nDon’t pretend
\nThe old scale
\nStill explains
\nYour fairytale<\/p>\n
New data
\n(New day)
\nNew limits
\n(New way)<\/p>\n
New conditions
\nNeed knew vision<\/p>\n
Don’t wait
\nUntil the water
\nReaches the door
\n(No, we can’t wait any more!)<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Music Drops to Bass, Sparse Piano and Percussion]
\nRaising the bar…<\/p>\n
Sound bizarre…<\/p>\n
How far?<\/p>\n
[Whispered]
\nThe state we’re in…<\/p>\n
Begin.<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nRaising the bar
\n(Sound bizarre)
\nGonna see just how far
\n(We can push, push, push)
\n… push the lush<\/p>\n
Gotta raise the bar
\n(To accommodate the state)
\n… the state we’re in…
\n(Begin!)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Full Band Crescendo With Electric Guitar, Bass, Hammond Organ, Synth and Heavy Drums; Sudden Stop]
\nRaise…<\/p>\n
The bar…<\/p>\n
Push…<\/p>\n
[Spoken, fading]
\nAccommodate…<\/p>\n
The modern state.<\/p>\n
