Todd Rundgren - Proactivity Lyrics
My new fashion is the ultimate reaction
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
No more waiting for what fate may be creating
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
Ever ready and my gaze is rock steady
Proactivity for me, proactivity yeah
Wake up and face the animal in you
The frightened lizard that wants to win you
That wants the madness to continue
Screwed into every sinew
Go on pretending you don't know the ending
But your broadcast continued sending
Now you're just hoping to blend in
I can't digs it, no one else is gonna fix it
Proactivity for me, proactivity yeah
Air keeps stinkin' while we sit here thinkin'
No activity, proactivity yeah
Keep on fakin', it's a fake world you're makin'
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
Crash test dummies never saw it comin'
Inactivity, proactivity yeah
Look who's talkin', the last believer
I'm the one who was happy with neither
The last to come and the first to leave it
I tossed my faith in the river
My mistake, my philosophy busted
I watched my future become encrusted
I had a dream, but I refused to trust it
Now I've finally sussed it

This is just another reason to listen to Todd Rundgren!
My CD-I brought me here 😄
So you scrubbed all the floors in Hyrule?
@NotOrdinaryInGames I haven't played Zelda since A Link To The Past lol
mmmmmm todd the be best rapper evah mmmmmm
I love this album the more time goes on...
no wait untill i love this now FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR TOD!
Todd's conscious style and criticism of the establishment may be the reason he is not in the R&R Hall Of Fame.
Every rock star criticized the establishment at least 5 times. No, I think it's more because he is trying not to be mainstream.
this album is Awsome
What does it exactly mean by todd rundgren "interactive"?
do what now? @Vainglory 2KW8Ω
@sara cheri Well, okay, not really. It's probably floating around on the internet somewhere anyway.
Its over ur head. Ur girl will work tho
@Vainglory 2KW8Ω i had those to sold it for hooch ya those were cool prob wont make. Em from anybody
Ya i used those those were pretty cool i had used cdi alot. But hadnt heard of todd or utopia tell then. I made hard rock with the ones with his i was.
Todd is a bad ass white boy. His rapping skills isn't bad either.
Although I prefer his singing.
As I never had the money to purchase the interactive CD I only owned the "regular" TR-1 album. On this clip it appears there is audio not on that disc. (Have to go back and listen again.) I've done my own edits on Property and WE which was fun and makes me wish I had the CD-I. Saw this album, but never got around to purchasing it. Thanks for posting!
The non-interactive re-release actually sound better.
Worldwide epiphany, epiphany
Down in the lowlands to the top of the hill
Don't know what's comin', but we know that it will
Blind in Benares, deaf and dumb in LA
Hiding in Africa, but nobody gets away
Give it up one more time for the king of soul
Let the good times roll, bring it on, bring it on
Dusk 'til dawn, the landlady's gone
Send the bill to the government, pack it in cement
Babies and bachelors, fishes, cabbages, and queens
Can't hear it comin', but we know what it means
Boats upon the ocean, every plane in the air
Never know just how or when, but we always know where
Take it from the ground up, this is the last roundup
You can't win, and you can't break even
You can't be leavin' the game anyway
You've got to stay 'cause we came to play
It's a new gene, a new wavelength, or maybe it's a virus
Put the fire in us and inspire us
To trust and lust for the good life
And all that is required of us
Turn to the headline news as if we had a right to choose
To have no views as the rocket's red glare pollutes the air,
And we swear that it can't happen here
And we'll never be there
We got the right to know, which means
We got the right to misunderstand
And slant the plan to help our hand and man
They call it a culture, but it sucks you in like quicksand
Killer bees finally make it to Tokyo
Juliet never made it with Romeo
But check out the video later
Terminator III's gonna preview the next fifty years or so
rapping
Started with this album in 2002; it has all come true; hang in there...
LOVE THIS ALBUM......
The master musician/composer/producer/performer!
Though it's a shame the Lite version is so poorly edited with all those broken fadeouts.
@NotOrdinaryInGames Yes but it was Todd's intention to give fans the ability to adjust the playback, on the interactive version, to suit their own preference. Genius! ;)
Such good music. I grew up listening to this album!
I owned TR:I on CD-I. Never understood what was going on when I was a kid. Didn't understand until later that it was a very progressive and experimental way to present music.
100% himself, everthing. All instruments, sounds, vocals......
Oh yeah i know todds famous for that, just wondering if he used a sequencer on a daw to make his music.
Many artists do the arrangement themselves, like Graham Coxon.
I wonder if he sequenced the percussion on a daw or actually did the percussion himself or with a band? anyone know?
I know, right?
Well that was meaningless.
Peace in, peace out... Next please.
A twoll.
whats a troll trollup? hmnn
You know nothing of trolls, since you don't know yourself.
Your grammar is terrible, but I get your point.
If you can afford an Internet connection, you can afford this album. Online shopping is cheap.
You can just buy the thing, you know :)
The lyrics on "New World Order" are a little goofy.
The full album was a complete departure for Todd, musically, but is like a wake up call from outer space... very powerful and eventually you realise it is actually very, very Todd.
Really good, musically, but Todd really sucks at fade-outs when he does them himself. I actually had to edit almost every single track to add them.
One of the most overlooked albums of the 1990's. A 'head' of its time.... 8-)
I am happy i grew up to this music!
@imautopian If only moar ppl would comment....
SO beautiful!
