Open in app

Living in a world where

everybody's ga-ga

Shakin Shakin it faking it like

they're all a Yc Yc

Find myself a girl with a name like Zsa Zsa

Pack up all my shit and move

it down to Baja

If there's more to life than money,

shelter, food, sex

I gotta get it straight in my Cerebral

cortex

Everybody's got the usual defects

Chalk it all up to automatic reflex

Seems to me the rules

Maybe emancipations in danger

Every coalition is a new game changer

I I I I wanna speak free, love free,

everyone to thrive

I don't really care if you're

software or hard drive

No time to sit still,

bow out or shuck and jive

Get up stand up nobody's

getting out alive
