Put your old ladies back into bed
|
Your old men back into their graves
|
Cover their ears so they can't hear us sing
|
Cover their eyes so that can't see us play
|
Get out of the way
|
Let the people play
|
We're gonna get down on you
|
Come alive all over you
|
Dancin' down into your town
|
|
Tyrannosaurus Rex was destroyed before
|
By a furry little ball that crawled along
|
The primeval jungle floor
|
And he stole the eggs of the dinosaur
|
CLOSE YOUR EYES & CREATE THE SOUND
|
OPEN YOUR HANDS & REBUILD THE GROUND
|
We are egg snatchers -
|
flashin' sunshine children
|
Diamond thieves
|
|
You unlease the dogs
|
of a grade-B movie star governor's war
|
While you sit in the dark -
|
insane with the fear of dying
|
We'll ball in your parks
|
- insane with the flash of living
|
|
I AM ALIVE
|
I AM HUMAN
|
I WILL BE ALIVE AGAIN
|
So drop your fuckin' bombs
|
Burn your demon babies
|
I WILL BE AGAIN -
|
The rabid lover-feelin' the starch in your grin
|
Callin' for acid cocaine and grass
|
And receiving your homemade gin
|
PUSH THE BUTTON
|
PULL THE SWITCH
|
CUT THE BEAM
|
C'MON MAKE IT MARCH
|
Sign me up as a diplomat - my only office is the park
|
|
You need to be out before you come in
|
And after you come you go
|
In the midst of Yang is a smaller part of Yin
|
And when it happens you know -
|
THE DAWN COMES
|
|
HEY DICK
|
Whatever you think of us is totally irrelevant
|
Both to us now and to you
|
We are the present
|
We are the future
|
You are the past
|
Pay your dues and get outta the way
|
'Cause we're not the way you used to be
|
When you were very young
|
We're something new
|
We don't quite know what it is
|
Or particularly care
|
We just do it - You gotta do it
|
|
Open your eyes there's a new world a-comin'
|
Open your eyes there's a new world today
|
Open your hearts people are lovin'
|
Open it all we're here to stay
|
OPEN THAT DOOR
|
