lyrics

Lonely I roam, slowly getting older/they're gonna tax us for their weight again, they're gonna make us pay for change./I bust my gut when I work too much and rust my nut if I don't earn enough/where's the middle ground, middle man's fiddled now it's riddled sounds and it's turning me down/now we're a state of this common convenience, innocent consumption forced by the media/enforced by the government, absorbed by the people, it's fed straight through our screens/we've seen- the daily news tells us what they want, giving us the blues and conversation front/but it's backwards, choosing the important- propaganda, standing as the upper-hand/have a ganders, watch your damn cctv and see/everybody's unhappy./when you go dancing, for the right reasons, come on/put down your weapons, lean to the speakers, come on./though we stand us one, so sweetly different/each are trying to succeed, in turn forget what we've achieved/we consist of the-./Calm and collected, down and neglected, wise and reflective, we're all connected./You know that when the beat comes around, you can feel it now/don't stand with your toes implanted in the ground/make your shape now, break the chain now./When you go dancing.
