Formerly known as Terence Knapp, Knight was a crass cabaret singer and master bullshitter. The band’s original manager/svengali, Terry Knight. At the start of the 70s the band took over the US chart with a succession of million-selling, classic rock albums: On Time, Grand Funk, Closer To Home, Live, Survival and E Pluribus Funk… which, for me, is where their story ends.Ģ.
In their prime, Grand Funk were a bludgeoning riff machine that brought you such subtly titled gems as TNUC (read it backwards), Sin’s A Good Man’s Brother and Inside Looking Out. For the original Grand Funk Railroad, look no further than the above trio, and disregard the watered-down AOR outfit they developed into in later years. The band, of course: Mark Farner (guitar/vocals), Mel Schacher (bass) and Don Brewer (drums/vocals). I laugh at anybody begging with their hands out, put your fucking hands down Chorus: I ain't gonna say that I'm changed when I'm not/I remember when I started from the stage in my garage/you can hear it in the stereo, the bass when it drops/everybody trying to tell me that I need to grow up/everybody telling me that I just need to focus/and I don't wanna pay bills, I just wanna Rolex/and I just wanna lay still, I just wanna forget/I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna grow up Verse 2: Got my first job at Taco Bell at 16/I was the cashier, talking about my big dreams/I put my mixtape in the bag with some mixed beans/told em to “make sure you play it” they were like “this kid stinks”/I fucking hated it, all this underrated shit/when I put everything into my music no one played the shit/now they hit me up and tell me “Nathan you're amazing”/bitch, shut up before I find you and hit you in the face with my dick/wait a minute I’m sorry, I didn't mean to offend you/I just wish I could've partied with you way back when I met you/but I just played my Atari cuz imma loser, was never cool/in my school I was ridiculed and I never grew up Chorus: I ain't gonna say that I’m changed when I'm not/I remember when I started from the stage in my garage/you can hear it in the stereo, the bass when it drops/everybody trying to tell me that I need to grow up/everybody telling me that I just need to focus/I don't wanna pay bills, I just wanna Rolex/and I just wanna lay still, I just wanna forget/and I don't wanna, I don't wanna grow up Verse 3: This is the greatest album that I've ever made to date, there's no debate/no home is safe, I'll blow you away/like the three little pigs, and these bitches are frozen in place/what is flow backwards (wolf) I'll blow you away/I never know what to say, I feel like I'm Norman Bates/if I keep doing these drugs, they'll probably ruin my brain/screw it, I'll do it again, don't think it through and you're great/my screws are loose like I'm Dr.1. Grow up: Verse 1: I've had Tourette’s since I was a little kid/always been the outcast, living outside of the grid/learning to keep to myself, becoming introverted/now I let em all see it imma be assertive/Imma make a song about it, imma make it big/imma make em wrong about it, they gon think it's rigged/imma make em talk about it when they tell their kids/how much they supported me and normally I would be pissed/but now, I'm kinda happy that you’re insecure/you ain't happy with your life, 9-5, live to work/you gotta college degree? I put my vision to work/I made the decision as a kid to how live I preferred/not what I was told/I'm turning shit into gold/I put my life in my lyrics/fear is the killer or goals/you've gotta stand out.
