Lyrics
Thumper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes, axiomatic subject matter
Executed with absolute lucidity
We can't keep deferring action
Only surviving by the skin of our teeth
We can't keep deferring action
Only surviving by the skin of our teeth
We're sick of the same old story
Tonight the motionless must vacate
So we can accelerate out of a stagnant society
We're sick of the same old story
Tonight the motionless must vacate
So we can accelerate out of a stagnant society
We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
In an unsane system
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
(Keep the tempo up)
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
(Keep the tempo up)
Will someone take the first step?
Be brave, cave in
Alright, I admit it, we are totally lost
Imagine that!
And then they'd say
We've lost the movement, we've lost the beat
We got so tied up in making a profit
That we choked when we realised what was at our feet
We've lost the movement, we've lost the beat
We're all made of the same dark matter
It's intrinsic that we rise to our feet
We'll start a movement, we'll start a beat
We're all made of the same dark matter
It's intrinsic that we rise to our feet
We're sick of the same old story
Tonight the motionless must vacate
So we can accelerate out of a stagnant society
We're sick of the same old story
Tonight the motionless must vacate
So we can accelerate out of a stagnant society
We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
In an unsane system
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
(Keep the tempo up)
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
(Keep the tempo up)
Will someone take the first step?
Be brave, cave in
We're sick of the same old story
Tonight the motionless must vacate
So we can accelerate out of a stagnant society
We're sick of the same old story
Tonight the motionless must vacate
So we can accelerate out of a stagnant society
We can't keep deferring action
Only surviving by the skin of our teeth
We can't keep deferring action
Only surviving by the skin of our teeth
