Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mind clouded, losing vision

Thoughts racing, but the head won't listen

Add it up, it's just division

Nails scratching down a chalkboard prison

Who are you? Contemplated

Your personality will be rated

Bad impressions, don't debate it

Hate to love it, love to hate it

[PreChorus]

Dance, kid, dance

Dance, kid, dance

[Chorus]

My social skills are wearing off

My phobias are at a loss

Don't call me crazy

That's how they made me

My education's wearing off

My generation's getting soft

Brain sick and so bored

That's what you're built for

The fever might put you in a trance

But the pills'll make you dance

[PostChorus]

The pills'll make you dance

[Verse 2]

School bells seal the borders

Playground's in complete disorder

Call it hell, call it mortar

A side hustle, doctor's orders

[PreChorus]

Dance, kid, dance (Dance, kid, dance)

Dance, kid, dance

[Chorus]

My social skills are wearing off

My phobias are at a loss

Don't call me crazy

That's how they made me

My education's wearing off

My generation's getting soft

Brain sick and so bored

That's what you're built for

The fever might put you in a trance

But the pills'll make you dance

[PostChorus]

The pills'll make you dance

Pick it up

[PreChorus]

Dance, kid, dance

[Chorus]

My social skills are wearing off

My phobias are at a loss

Don't call me crazy

That's how they made me

My education's wearing off

My generation's getting soft

Brain sick and so bored

That's what you're built for

The fever might put you in a trance

But the pills'll make you

The pills'll make you dance

[PostChorus]

The pills'll make you dance

[Outro]

So run while you got the chance

Dance, kid, dance, right?
