Lyrics

Dance apocalyptic (ooh!) Bands they make her dance apocalyptic now Bands they make her dance apocalyptic (ooh!) Bands they make her dance apocalyptic now (Ahh!) Bands they make her dance apocalyptic You're goin' crazy, the hitmen always find you Do that dance, smokin' in the girls' room Kissin' friends, it's over like a comic book Explodin' in a bathroom stall (ah!) She's so freaked out, worried 'bout the bomb threats You bought a house, but I'm allergic to the house pets Credit cards, they bought a new wife For shiny little lonely men But I really, really want to thank you for dancing 'til the end You found a way to break out You're not afraid to break out But I need to know if the world says it's time to go Tell me, will you freak out? (Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang) But I need to know if the world says it's time to go Tell me, will you break out? Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang You gotta laugh at the zombie in the front yard Take a bath, but nothin' gets the funk off You're on TV, rockin' and a-rollin' 'Cause the dead just love to rock and roll Sick and tired of food tasting plastic You wanna cry, but they grew up without a real kitchen Askin' why the pain is always equal But the joy just never spreads around But I really, really want to thank you for dancing 'til the end You found a way to break out You're not afraid to break out But I need to know if the world says it's time to go Tell me, will you freak out? (Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang) But I need to know if the world says it's time to go Tell me, will you break out? Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang You're going crazy, the hitmen always find you Do that dance, smokin' in the girls' room Kissin' friends, keep a-rockin' and a-rollin' 'Cause the dead just love to rock and roll So freaked out, worried 'bout the bomb threats Bought a house, but I'm allergic to the house pets Credit card, you're workin' and a-bobbin' Just to make enough to pay your rent But I really, really want to thank you for dancing 'til the end You found a way to break out You're not afraid to break out But I need to know if the world says it's time to go Tell me, will you freak out? (Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang) But I need to know if the world says it's time to go Tell me, will you break out? Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang Smash, smash, bang, bang Don't stop, chalang-alang-alang I've been- Look at you You look just like a little old earthquake Break it, break it You got to break it Ain't no order in this courtroom (Smash, smash, bang, bang) Y'all goin' to jail (don't stop, chalang-alang-alang) What's the matter? Your chicken tastes like pork? You have triplets instead of twins? Does your food taste plastic?
