We got the message
I heard it on the airwaves
The politicians
Are now DJs
The broadcast was spreading
Station to station
Like an infection
Across the nation
Though you know you can’t stop it
When they start to play
You’re gonna get out the way
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message’s understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message’s understood
We’re under pressure
Yes we’re counting on you
Like what you say
Is what you do
It’s in the papers
It’s on your tv news
Oh, the application
Is just a point of view
Well you know you can’t stop it
When they start to play
You’re gonna get out the way
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message’s understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message’s understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message’s understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message’s understood

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn’t know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I’d owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart The colors of my sea
Perfect color me
Extreme ways that help me
That help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it then
I would stand in line for this
There’s always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn’t have much to say
I didn’t get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along
I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I’ve seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn’t even believe
I would stand in line for this
It’s always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
(Falling apart)
It’s a Monday morning, it’s everywhere
Oh no I can’t
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
All day, all day
Like it always does, always does
