Violent Dancing

Jesus locked in the basement of an arcade Jesus locked in the basement of an arcade Jesus locked in the basement of an arcade Oh the games, the children play And I don't pretend to love you, I just do And I don't pretend to love you, I just do And I don't pretend to love you, I just do Still it's slightly scary when there's nothing there to hold on to So, I try to be a lifeboat But the kids these days wear spikes and chains I ask mom what's for dinner And she says you, she says it so plain That she might not be joking... Dear mom's never been one to kid So I go violent dancing, when I need to get off the grid I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders I go violent dancing... THE CLOUDS ARE SPRAYPAINTED SHUT AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED THE CLOUDS ARE SPRAYPAINTED SHUT AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED THE CLOUDS ARE SPRAYPAINTED SHUT AND IT'S NOT ALLOWED AFTER YEARS OF WAR, THE SKY IT CORKSCREWED AGROUND If I only had a skateboard,I could sell it and buy stock for free I would make myself an army Of commas and apostrophes But this country's not that gentle And we use far too much gasoline Astronomers are dying, it's time to set priorities I'll buy toys for the children,but who will give them food to eat? I protest where we're going But who's got the chords and who's got the beat To compete in this market? I peek inside to see who's home Cos when I go violent dancing I prefer to not go alone I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders I go violent dancing, throw the world's weight off my shoulders I go violent dancing, throw the world right off my shoulders I go violent dancing, throw the world right off my shoulders And my heart it It is shattering like glass Every time I turn my head My neck it seems to snap right back There's better ways to spend my time There's penguins and there's crocodiles You build a saddle and you ride away At the end of the day Hurry up, there's not much left Hurry up, there's not much left Hurry up, there's not much left...
