  • 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

    Dance, kid, dance
    Dance, kid, dance

    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

    The pills'll make you dance

    School bells seal the borders
    Playground's in complete disorder
    Call it hell, call it mortar
    A side hustle, doctor's orders

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

    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

    The pills'll make you dance
    Pick it up

    Dance, kid, dance

    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

    The pills'll make you dance

    So run while you got the chance
    Dance, kid, dance, right? Writer/s: Brent Smith, Dave Bassett, Eric Bass
