Every night with the lights out, where you gone?
What’s wrong?
Everytime you can try but can’t turn on
Your rock song
Got some if you need it
Get it now / get it on / before its gone
Let’s everybody carry on, carry on
Get it now / set it off / before its gone
Get everybody, carry on carrying on
Precipitation, which side are you on?
Are you on the rise? Are you falling down?
Lemme know, c’mon let’s go yeh!
Got some
Get it now / get it on / before its gone
Lets everybody carry on, carry on
Turn it up / set it off / Before we’re gone
Let’s everybody get it on, get it on
This situation, which side are you on?
Are you getting out? Are you dropping bombs?
Have you heard of diplomatic resolve? Yeh!
Precipitation, which side are you on?

Wasn't the first time it was played on The Tonight Show?
Yes, it was on Conan's first night taking over the Tonight Show. I still have it saved on my DVR. I can't bring myself to delete it even though I have watched it 800 times!!!
They rocked out!!
If you listen to the song and follow these lyrics I don't think it's very accurate.
backspacer rocks.......hell yea!!!!!!! they never diappoint, but then again...wouldnt expect anything less from the absolute BEST!! Stone, Mike, Jeff, Matt and Eddie....I know you guys are hella proud of yourselves....youve come a very long way....been a fan since the beginning and gonna remain till the end.....love you guys!!
Yeh. Lyrics are sketchy in few spots. This is the best I can do with the last "Precipitation" verse. This reads a lot better (IMO) though if you want to copy and paste something to send to a friend or something:

This song pumps me up big time! I GOT SOME!!
Make Love (and Music) Not War
This is absolutely one of the best effin songs they play live! Saw it two nights ago at Clark County; it's as good as live music gets. It was my 10th show and I think it might have been the best I've seen. 8 songs off Backspacer, Golden State, The End (solo), Inside Job, In My Tree....it did it for me. I caught the neck of the Fender Eddie smashed at Soldier Field too, but as far as a set list, Saturday night was better.
*edit
Lolz - just noticed the BS lyrics in the CD sleeve contain the correct lyrics and it's "puddle full of detriment".
The make love not war comment pretty accurately sums up the song; however, I will say that I think it's more about a war that sometimes takes place within relationships w respect to sex. As a middle aged guy in a relationship who's Got Some and Gets Some like it's my job, I recognize an epidemic amongst married couples. The ones that aren't having sex(and believe me it's more than you can imagine); they're fooling themselves if they believe that is a successful relationship IMO.
Now that I'm thinking about that corrected line "puddle full of detriment". I have to ask myself if it's the legal version: a giving up of a thing or mode of conduct to which one is entitled...interesting
I love this song and it is SO good live!
Yeah, the lyrics here are not correct. And the thread here made me check the lyrics on the vinyl artwork and MrFadedGlory is right :D
I have it down as 'Are you a puddle full of detriment....yeah!'
Or something with puddle in it, which would add up with the whole precipitation theme I guess!
Watched em play it on tuesday night in adelaide and it blew me totally.Easily the highlight of their set for me even though it was my first listen.
