Valentine's Day - Don't Dance to This Song

It was 2016 when the world went to shit
We were all sting young, healthy and hip
Now we all just fade away
A generation lost in time
We don't like to vote or smoke or fall in line
Unless we're dealing with pot
We all seem to really love pot
We're desensitized to love from too much porn
We're all bleeding out but we're still warm
At least I think this is my blood
We're violently depressed we believe
Our planet has regressed
But we still got Late Night Jimmy on our side

How are we supposed to fall in love
When you're prone to static shock
From the hilltops we hear freedom ringing
You can hear the people singing

"Don't you dare dance to this song
You aren't meant to live these lyrics
You're forbidden from singing along
Don't you dare dance to this tune
If you've ever felt afraid lying awake at night
This song is not for you"

Well its 2020 now and the world is still shit
And I don't remember whose fault it is
Probably everyone's
We've shut down every circus and zoo
Sure there are kids in cages but at least we freed Shamu
And your conscience too
We're all burnt out from this legal weed
All choked up from all the possibilities
Drag me ashore
Now my life is almost over
And there hasn't been a single song worth getting fucked up over
I'm so bored

You just wanted to have a good time
Did need neo-fascists in your face
From the hilltops we hear freedom ringing
You can hear the people singing

"Don't you dare dance to this song
You aren't meant to live these lyrics
You're forbidden from singing along
Don't you dare dance to this tune
If you've ever felt afraid lying awake at night
This song is not for you"

And I get it
I fought too hard
I know what its like to be a fallen star
Drowning in what's beyond control
The gravity
Hold me close and dance real slow
We don't know what tomorrow knows
Or what it was supposed to be
The gravity
The planets are all misaligned
We're falling through a broken time
Dragged down by something we can't see
The gravity
This isn't what we were meant to be I don't

Lay low and
Don't you dare dance to this song
Don't you dare dance to this song

"Don't you dare dance to this song
You aren't meant to live these lyrics
You're forbidden from singing along
Don't you dare dance to this tune
If you've ever felt afraid lying awake at night
This song is not for you"
