There is this thing that's like touching, except you don't touch

Back in the day it just went without saying at all

All the world's history gradually dying of shock

There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk

You sing

You sing

Sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor, sing

Sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing

Sing for the children shooting the children, sing

Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing

Just sing

There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked

It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance

After the show you cannot sing whatever you want

But for now let's just pretend we're all gonna get bombed

And sing

Sing 'cause it's obvious, sing for the astronauts, sing

Sing for the soccer team, sing for the Janjaweed, sing

Sing for the president, sing for the terrorists, sing, whoa

Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing

Just sing, just sing, just sing

Just sing, just sing, just sing

Just sing, just sing, just sing

Just sing, just sing, just sing
