Shakedown!

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.

Hey, two headed monster on the big blue screen

They tell you how to spend your dime

Now all the minutes change to hours

Then the days fly by

And nothing occupies your mind

Beautiful people tell you what to wear

And who to be and what to buy

It's time to leave it all behind and

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, free your mind of what they say

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, free your mind of what they say

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, shakedown

Without a doubt they've thought of everything

Of every way to steal your time

Now all the days have changed to weeks

And still the years fly by

Never thought to question why pretty people

All those people talking at you

Talking what when why

Come on and leave it all behind and

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, free your mind of what they say

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, free your mind of what they say

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, shakedown

Yeah, you're all dressed up

And you got nothing to lose

And I see you've brought your dancing shoes

Well, let's figure out how to use those things

Yeah, come on, come on, come on

Dance with me, dance, I said

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, free your mind of what they say

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, free your mind of what they say

Rise up, dance to a different beat

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up, shakedown

Rise up
