Song number 232

lyrics

It's kinda hard to be what I want to be
The men at the top are looking down on me
They're getting giddy from our misery
The only way to win is to deny the game
The only way to fail is to take the blame
We're in the desert collecting names
To curse our luck

Let's ruin all their fun, Let's spoil the party
Let's break all their toys, Time to make a lot of noise
Let's wake their children, Let's break their bank
Let's all rise and shine

There shouldn't be a reason to play along
There never is a reason to hide your song
Don't be afraid of who you are
Playing by their rules won't get you far
If you're born lucky, you're still the same
You're just another number without a name
We're dancing in the desert unafraid
Cursing our luck

Let's ruin all their fun, Let's spoil the party
Let's break all their toys, Time to make a lot of noise
Let's wake their children, Let's break their bank
Let's all rise and shine

Breaking down the walls that keep them safe
Tearing down the smile on their faces

Let's ruin all their fun, Let's spoil the party
Let's break all their toys, Time to make a lot of noise
Let's wake their children, Let's break their bank
Let's all rise and shine

We're dancing in the desert unafraid
Cursing our luck
