Let's Go Crazy [Explicit] | Prince Lyrics, Meaning & Videos

Let's Go Crazy
Prince Lyrics

If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends
You see, I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heard

I'm not gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no let's go

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go

We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die
And when we do (when we do)
What's it all for (what's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go

Come on, baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go
Go crazy (woo)

I said let's go crazy (go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go (let's go)

Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough, children

He's coming
He's coming
Coming

Take me away

Prince's Let's Go Crazy is a song packed with life lessons and challenges to seize moments of joy while we can. The opening lyrics describe how we are gathered to tackle the challenges of life. Prince references "Electric word, life" and its implicit link to forever, which may seem long, given its implications. However, he believes in the afterworld, where there is no ending to joy and happiness, a world that we can all aspire to. He advises that instead of asking "how much of your time is left," we should ask "how much of your mind," to prioritize the things that truly matter in this life.

Prince refers to the difficulties of life and the challenges of facing them. He urges listeners not to be held back by these challenges and instead says we should "go crazy, punch a higher floor." The song continues, noting that we should take control of the world around us, face our fears and live in the moment. The chorus becomes a call-to-action, encouraging people to get nuts and look for the purple banana, despite whatever obstacles may present themselves.

Let's Go Crazy is ultimately an uplifting anthem that encourages listeners to live life on their terms and not be held back by fear. The message is that the world we live in can be challenging, but we can rise above and find our own happiness by not taking things too seriously, taking control and letting go of our inhibitions.

Dearly beloved
Hello, everyone

We are gathered here today
We are here now in this moment

To get through this thing called life
To survive our lives

Electric word, life
Life is intense and powerful

It means forever and that's a mighty long time
Life lasts a very long time

But I'm here to tell you
But I have something else to say

There's something else
There is more to life than what we know

The afterworld
A spiritual dimension outside of our world

A world of never ending happiness
A place where everyone is always happy

You can always see the sun, day or night
The sun, which represents life, is always present

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
If you need help from a professional, like a therapist

You know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
A specific therapist who claims to make everything better

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Rather than asking how long you have to live

Ask him how much of your mind, baby
Ask how much of your mental wellbeing can be saved

'Cause in this life
Because in our world

Things are much harder than in the afterworld
Life is more complicated than the spiritual realm

In this life
In our world

You're on your own
You must fend for yourself

And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
If life shatters you

Go crazy, punch a higher floor
Get wild and aim higher in life

If you don't like the world you're living in
If you are unhappy in life

Take a look around you
See what you can change

At least you got friends
Remember that you have people to support you

You see, I called my old lady
For example, I called my girlfriend

For a friendly word
Just to chat

She picked up the phone
She answered the call

Dropped it on the floor
But then she hung up unexpectedly

(Ah, ah) is all I heard
I only heard a sound

I'm not gonna let de-elevator
I won't let life beat me

Bring us down
Defeat us

Oh, no let's go
Let's not be beaten

Let's go crazy
Let's act wild

Let's get nuts
Let's do something unusual

Let's look for the purple banana
Let's search for something impossible

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go
Let's keep going until we're defeated

We're all excited
We are enthusiastic about life

But we don't know why
But we don't know why we feel this way

Maybe it's 'cause
Perhaps it's because

We're all gonna die
We will all inevitably die

And when we do (when we do)
And when death comes

What's it all for (what's it all for)
What is the purpose of life

You better live now
You should live life fully

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Before death comes to take you away

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Are we going to allow life to beat us

Let's go crazy
Let's act wild

Let's get nuts
Let's do something unusual

Look for the purple banana
Search for something impossible

'Til they put us in the truck, let's go
Let's keep going until we're defeated

Come on, baby
Let's go

Yeah
Yes

Crazy
Wild

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down?
Are we going to allow life to beat us?

Go crazy (woo)
Get wild (yeah)

I said let's go crazy (go crazy)
I mean it, let's act wild

Let's go, let's go
Let's move on, let's go forward

Go (let's go)
Let's get going

Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
A specific therapist who claims to make everything better

Will make everything go wrong
Will probably make things worse

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Drugs and excitement won't solve your problems

Hang tough, children
Stay strong, everyone

He's coming
Death is inevitable

Take me away
Death will take us away
