Lyrics
[Chorus] So you're looking for a Jedi? You won't find him here You wanna know who am I, and how'd I wind up here? There ain't much left of this man cause I'm just dust in the wind But if you can let the dead lie, I'll tell you why I'm here [Verse 1] Yo, simply put, I love sand, I wanna run my fingers through it The pleasure of the texture is somewhat therapeutic I've never found it to be coarse, rough or irritating I'm sick of smooth surfaces, I prefer it grainy With exfoliating properties - healing it bestows I feel it on my skin, even in between my toes This sandy sensation is divine to the touch For those who know how to find a diamond in the rough I love sand - that's why I settled in the desert Retirement on Tatooine? Can't get any better I used to hold the high ground, now I'm layin' low While the suns are in the sky, I'll be covered head to toe I stripped myself of who I was - so if you unrobe me You'll find an Old Ben, but there won't be no Kenobi I've only grown in age after all the time that passed Now I'm not only haunted, but I'm hunted by the past [Chorus] So you're lookin' for a Jedi? You won't find him here He'd already be a dead guy for him to wind up here I'm just a tired old man, but don't think I won't throw hands If you wanna start a barfight, then I'll be here [Verse 2] I love sand - nothing else to know about me I'm not a fan of people, keep no company around me So if you got a question, inquisitor You know I like to keep my negotiatin' short And these surely ain't the droids that you're lookin' for Neither is the boy - don't know who you mistook him for Now be a good Stormtrooper, it's your time to split Cause odds, are you got the kind of mind that I could trick Not that I know how to do that, I'm a weak little hermit Never heard of a Lightsaber, does that need a permit? Ride or die for the Empire, take that to church Even got my "Make the Galaxy Great Again" merch But to be candid, I've abandoned my hope I thought he could bring balance, but he went up in smoke Before the times got dark, I lost more than my brother But if the sun doesn't rise - we can count on another [Chorus] So you're lookin' for a Jedi? You won't find him here He'd already be a dead guy for him to wind up here I'm just a tired old man, but don't think I won't throw hands If you wanna start a barfight, then I'll be here, ain't going nowhere [Verse 3] Qui-Gon told me: "When I'm gone, Obi Train the boy, he'll make a fine Jedi Knight, homie" Thought I could handle him, that little Anakin Even if his midichlorians were beyond measurin' I mean they're off the charts, he could show up Yoda His mama said he never had a dad? That's so sus I hoped he was the chosen one - to be the messiah But becoming a Jedi held his feet to the fire Ooh, sorry Darth, are you sizzlin' mad? At least you didn't get Mauled - I could have split you in half How far you have fallen, and I would give you a hand But I'm up on the high ground, where the Sith never stand I'd rather deal in death sticks than in absolutes Cause mercy is the only thing that I have left for you Strike me down, and I'll become what you can't I'll be one with the Force - you'll be one with the sand [Chorus] So you're lookin' for a Jedi? You won't find him here He'd already be a dead guy for him to wind up here I'm just a tired old man, but don't think I won't throw hands If you wanna start a barfight, then I'll be here, ain't going nowhere
