Seems to be a typical Prince pop rock effort...very basic...and not too interesting compared to more complicated rock or metal stuff.

Go listen to your Emerson Lake and Palmer Mars Volta Yngvie Malmsteen shit and sit your troll ass down please.

Screwdriver lyrics (there is a bit of a discrepency with the printed lyrics and what he's actually singing in the snippet)

Everyday when I wake up

Gotta make up

Another reason 2 make it last

Miss Mistake Up

If we break up

We'll smash guitars and shatter glass

But til the day that we do

Eye'm ur driver and u're my screw

Everywhere that we go now

People pay $ 4 the rock n roll

& the big wow

B4 we bow

U can call me C.C. Crowd Control

But if u don't want 2 it's cool

Cuz eye'm ur driver and u're my screw

An empty car on a fast train

In the driving rain

I can make u swear that u did somethang

What u don't know

Won't hurt u so

We got a long, long way 2 go

So u might as well enjoy the view

Eye'm your driver and ur my screw

Sharing stories and cool clothes

& party toes

This is what life is like on the road

Never 2 high, never 2 low

That's the only way 2 go

But right now without further adieu

Eye'm ur driver and u're my screw

Counter-clockwise I can turn u around

All u got 2 do is listen 2 the sound

The music never lies u know it's true

Eye don't even have 2 u know who

Time we got plenty of

4ever is worth the wait when it comes 2 real love

"That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide."

The studio snippet is now circulating on other websites. Do NOT ask me where. It's out there.

I feel like the first verse and the general concept is kinda cool but the subsequent verses sort of devolve into corny lyrics and forced rhymes.

I hate to say again that I don't like it but I don't. I know it's just a snippet but that voice he's using is annoying... confused

I agree about the voice, but the guitar... cool

I can't tell much from a short snippet, although the lyrics are predictably stupid. Given that Prince's most enduring strength these days is his virtuoso guitar playing, it's at least good that he make songs that accentutate that.

The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Reductio ad absurdum

Every song has a lyrical context. Kiss has phenomenal lyrics because the context is that of a fun pop song. Its lyrics aren't politically charged or provocative, but that's fine because they aren't required to be. Its lyrics are charming and cute.

"Act your age, not your shoe size" is an example of a classic line, as is "Women, not girls, rule my world."

These lyrics are just lazy attempts to rhyme.

The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Really not feeling the studio snippet at ALL. The live take sounds a bit like Chaos & Disorder-era stuff.

Dunno about this. Not feeling the drummer.

Didn't hear the studio version, but the live snippet reminds me of "Brand New Boy", which I like a lot.

Both sounded really good. On top of RNR heart Affair & Superconductor this has me very excited about 2013.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!
