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 out for number one Working for the week and living to the beat 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 Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away 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 Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away Dance this world away
