Lyrics
They say that kids like us won't amount to much
I say what do they know of us?
They boarded up the record stores
Along with all that we had come to know and love
Every day we wander aimlessly through high school corridors
Every hour like the hour before
Squaring circles isn't all we were meant for
We want to dance all night, and sleep all day
We want to dance all night and sleep all day
We want to dance all night and sleep all day
And we don't care what the teachers say
We dance all night, we sleep all day
Now we work from 9 to 5
Drowning in fluorescent lights
Tooth and nail to keep our heads
Just above a raging sea of debt, 'til we're dead
Every day we sit like zombies in these office cubicles
Every hour like the hour before
Cashing paychecks isn't all this life is for
We want to dance all night, and sleep all day
We want to dance all night and sleep all day
We want to dance all night and sleep all day
And we don't care what the bosses say
We dance all night, we sleep all day
Every moment passing is a chance to make a change
All the light you're wasting is never coming back again
Day is done, everyone, sing it at the top of your lungs
We want to dance all night, and sleep all day
We want to dance all night and sleep all day
We want to dance all night and sleep all day
And we don't care what the others say
We dance all night, we sleep all day
