(Springfield/Pierce)
|
Everybody looks so spaced out there
|
Busy bowing to the priests of noise
|
Turn it up and make it drown out the warning
|
Bad news for the girls and boys
|
Everybody looks so romantic
|
Acting like it's nothing at all
|
Looking for Number One
|
Working for the week and
|
Living to the beat
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Dance this world away
|
Dance this world away
|
Dance this world away
|
Dance this world away
|
|
I see people all dressed like Nero
|
Fiddling while Rome burns in strife
|
Personal responsibility zero, we've lost that rhythm of life
|
There's a shadow on our bright horizon
|
It won't be manna falling out of the sky
|
The hard rain hits everyone
|
Working for the week and
|
Living to the beat
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Somewhere there is a ship that's sinking
|
Why do I think that nobody knows
|
Looking out for Number One
|
Working through the week and
|
Dancing to the back beat
|
|
[Chorus]
|
