We’re not going to take this stuff
We’re not going to take itWell I’ve got a will that bounces back
Can ward off pain and form a counter attack
When I do feel abused
The faucet dripping angers my pride, I realize it speaks my life
The machines repeat pound out no time, hypnotize the aimless mind
It seems I’m always waking myself up
While everything begs me to sleep
Feeling removed from these walking shadows
Who only smile when they should be afraid
Apathy is what I feel, a shadow dance is what I am
Pull I’ve got to pull myself into this world
I don’t know how but I’ve got to change this numbness into love
(how about you?)
I might be groggy but I’m not quitting
I’ll keep pushing till I start winning
No more shadow dance, just give me a chance
We’re not going to take this stuff
We’re not going to take it
Files of empty eyes pass my by as I drive
Chatter is the endless chore of those bored the impish horde
Wake up honey this is life we’re living
It’s not fate but the heartbeat dimming
Kick out the juices to make us act
Let’s not spend our time in shadow dance
What I feel makes me real, gets me past the shadow dance
Apathy is what I feel, a shadow dance is what I am
Pull I’ve got to pull myself into this world
I don’t know how but I will change this numbness into love
(how about you?)
I’m fired up to make things happen
I don’t want thrills I want some action
An urgent creature filled with meaning
No just dreaming
The shadow dance is gone forever, the shadow dance is dead
Shadow dance, shadow dance
