  • Never say that nothing ever came from a mouse anyway
    Crawled into my house, took my cat away
    Don't let your brain tell your mind that it must say
    That nothing ever came from a mouse anyway
    Anyway

    Never say that nothing ever came from a gnat anyway
    Flew into my ear and then he done flown away
    Always causing aggravation so can't you ever say
    That nothing ever came from a gnat anyway
    Anyway, anyway, anyway

    Something always comes from the music anyway
    Came into my life and it stole me blues away
    Oh, my stereo is my best friend every day
    And this music is my blood, it's my blood
    It always comes and goes, but it never floods
    Something always comes, something always goes
    Something always comes from the music
    Something always comes from the music anyway
    Anyway, anyway, anyway

    Don't ya feel that this music flows
    Don't ya feel like it's life
    Well I do, well I certainly do
    I can't live without this music in my blood
    Well it gets me up when I'm feeling down
    And I cannot sleep when this music is around
    I live to move
    And I know that there's something there
    Filling me up, this music
    A wise man once said
    A wise man once said when he told me
    One good thing about music
    When it hits you, you feel no pain

    Something always comes and it always goes
    It will be there to the end after everything is gone
    The music
    Ah, it will, to the end
    Something always comes, something always goes
    Something always comes and it goes
    Something always comes from the music anyway
    Anyway, anyway, anyway Writer/s: BENJAMIN AARON GERSHMAN, CHRIS CULOS, JERRY DE PIZZO, MARC ANDREW ROBERGE, RICHARD JOE ON

  • Tim from Columbus, Ohactually, there are two versions of this song.. OAR tends to make CD's off of the concerts they hold. In one version they do change up the line " one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." But in the original CD version, the line by Bob Marley is used in its original text.
  • Melissa from Madison, AlThey changed it up for some reason, I have no clue why they would do that. I guess because so many people have sampled this one quote. It is actually "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." O.A.R. pretty much marches to the beat of their own drum.
