Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Request the honor of your presence
The tear gas has blown away
Put down your crumpets and your coffee now
So unfashionably late
[Verse 2]
Little brother, little sister
Underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves
Stepping out
To where the people sing
[Verse 3]
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good
[Verse 4]
You say I'm acting like a beggar
I call it killing the fool
You carry more baggage than a mama's boy
On your first day of school, say
[Verse 5]
Little brother, little sister
Underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves
Stepping out
To where the people sing
[Verse 6]
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good
[Verse 7]
Let go the light of the TV
Drop the hands
The chains that bind me
Turn it all around
Stop, lift you up and die to sell
In a time when the left and the right's the same
When it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze
Just send out the invitations
[Verse 8]
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good (You say I'm acting like a beggar)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the people sing (I call it killing the fool)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And the times are good (To save your life you gotta lose it)
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
So the people sing
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
