Lyrics:

GO! GO! GO! LIVE!

There’s no need to go fast fast fast, just take it slow
Even if time wants to fly by I don’t care, so what?
My time and my tempo are more valuable than gold
I won’t follow time, you can just follow me

The tortoise said, “Faster. Faster. Faster. Faster.”
The hare said, “Tooslowtooslowtooslowtooslow, tooslowtooslowtooslowtooslow, Tooslowtooslowtooslowtooslow, tooslowtooslowtooslowtooslow, Tooslowtooslowtooslowtooslow, tooslowtooslowtooslowtooslow,
You’re just too slow, you’re driving me crazy…
I’m out of breath so I should take a break…”
And because of that the tortoise won in the end!

I don’t want to rush, I just want to mess around.
I want to just mess around like Nolbu.
I don’t want to rush, I just want to mess around,
I want to have fun and mess around.

To the end of this struggle I go
I know, you know, we know, Lee Know
Following the flow of time
I know, you know, we know, we know

We said to hurry, hurry up why are you still sitting around?
Why are you so slow, it’s driving me crazy.
Run all the way there, if you’re even 10 seconds, 1 second late…
well, I don’t know what will happen, but being quicker is better!

Go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go,
go, go, ugh, hurry up!

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go,
gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go,
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hey, wait a second…

Go slow, yeah.
Go slow, yeah.

Slow it down, everyone, everyone slow it down
Slow down all the wheels in your head like a monorail.
Even if a snail looses its shell its still a slug,
why’re you in such a rush? Even if you crawl along slowly it’s all right.

Honestly, even if you feel rushed, as long as it’s not urgent,
I know you honestly think it’s all tiresome, just take it slow.
Yeah, you can go ahead and take a plane,
I’m going to take the Mugunghwa and travel by train.

Living my pace now now now
Living my pace now now now
I’m gonna go, go in my own time, I take it slow

GO! GO! GO! LIVE!

I don’t want to rush, I just want to mess around.
I want to just mess around like Nolbu.
I don’t want to rush, I just want to mess around,
I want to have fun and mess around.

To the end of this struggle I go
I know, you know, we know, we know
Following the flow of time
I know, you know, we know, we know

To the end of this struggle I go
I know, you know, we know, Lee Know
Following the flow of time
I know, you know, we know, we know

Take it easy, take it easy, they say the world is round
Even if we rush we’ll end up right back in the same place
Blue, blue, the sky is clear blue
We take our time looking up to the blue sky and spread our music
