lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you’re dancing on a sinking ship
You nod the head that people said you should be thinking with
You shake the body that you’re probably working to the bone
You move the feet you’re always keeping in the danger zone
‘Cause, baby:
It’s all whatever when it’s said and done
You either live or wait for moments that may never come
If they don’t feel it, let ‘em be and sing along with me
We’ll keep it rolling ‘til we’re soaking in the shining sea

[Hook]
This is a rock & roll call for all my folks stuck in a new world spinning out of control
A bunch of old souls that just won’t fold
And that’s... and that’s… and that’s set in stone

[Verse 2]
Well, we’re living in a no man’s land
The time is sinking, sinking, sinking into the sand
The people going crazy, tryina’ get what they can
But we keep stickin’, stickin’, stickin’ right to the plan
Now tell me:

[Bridge]
Can you feel it in the big city?
Can you feel it on down-home?
Can everybody on the top feel it?
Can you feel it on the ground floor?
Can you feel it in the big city?
Can you feel it on down-home?
Can everybody on the top feel it?
Can you feel it on the ground floor?

[Verse 3]
Well, I’m singing for those people now
I know you’re tired of getting up for them beat you down
I know you’re feeling blue, your eyes are red, the sky is grey
I know you’re sinking but you’re dancing through it anyway
‘Cause, baby:
It’s all whatever when it’s said and done
You either live or wait for moments that may never come
If they don’t feel it, let ‘em be and sing along with me
We’ll keep it rolling ‘til we’re soaking in the shining sea

[Hook]
