The Music, The Message lyrics

I never had to think about it all that much It came to me so easily, then it became a crutch I took it all for granted, figured it would always be So solid, set, dependable, and always there for me (chorus) So much a part of us, so much a part of it We got the music, and the message So much a part of you, so much a part of me We never cared when all those people criticized We had no problems spotting, what was real and what were lies Despite the changes that we went through, we were always down You gotta stand the strongest when dissention's all around (chorus) (guitar break) (chorus twice)
