Dream about the tropics Get out of my head My love is like a faucet Overflowing I can't stop it Past the moon this girl is cosmic I'm a rebel like to rocket Keep my passion in a locket Keep your fingers out of sockets Got an orange in my pocket Always dreaming bout the tropics Dream about the tropics, Get out of my head Dream about the tropics, Get out of my head Riding life from the cockpit Taking fate to the bank for deposit Taking pleasure over profit Pick up the beat, just to d-d-d-d-drop it Riding life from the cockpit Taking fate to the bank for deposit Taking pleasure over profit Pick up the beat, just to d-d-d-d-drop it Just to d-d-d-d-drop it Just to d-d-d-d-drop it As a kid, hooked on phonics Finally coming out of the closet Lay a track, and I'm on it Started innocent, and I lost it All your troubles are microscopic Trust me just breath and drop it Mentally purify all these toxins by dreaming bout the tropics Dream about the tropics, Get out of my head Get our of my head Well you flew into my life, and I may have misread But I never really could get you out of my head Maybe it was all the words that you left unsaid Maybe it was cuz you didn't take me straight to bed But it wasn't ever right, no the timing was wrong We found a wrinkle in time, a fantasy we prolonged Forgot the game by twilight, forgot the world in your arms But once the spell had worn off, I knew it was time to move on Dream about the tropics, Get out of my head Get our of my head Riding life from the cockpit Taking fate to the bank for deposit Taking pleasure over profit Pick up the beat, just to d-d-d-d-drop it Riding life from the cockpit Taking fate to the bank for deposit Taking pleasure over profit Pick up the beat, just to d-d-d-d-drop it

I'm a finder not a seeker, a winner not a weeper A lover and a fighter, Paul Revere a midnight rider Calling out those red coats, crimson cause they're blood soaked Hate em cause they're liars, David and Goliath Gonna fight some giants, strapped with defiance and a sling shot Pop goes the weasel, under the table Don't trust the labels, it's all a fable Gonna build these muscles up Gonna tear these walls down Take a drink from my cup, and pass it all around Connecting with my soul where my feet touch the ground Going round, going round, going round, going round About a billion going bankrupt as the rich rake in the big bucks Money talks, thief's walk, system's rigged and corrupt Makes me want to throw up watching congress act like puppets Wasn't the Muppets, but bankers took Manhattan Making business plans with mad men, and lock it up in patents Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah Gonna build these muscles up Gonna tear these walls down Take a drink from my cup, and pass it all around Connecting with my soul where my feet touch the ground Going round, going round, going round, going round It's the corporations and government They don't give a shit about our environment They say one thing, then turn away Then change their minds the very next day They pollute the earth, but don't pay shit We think it's cheap, but we're paying for it Greed is good, power is hungry, all the best criminals have college degrees Yeah, yeah, say it again Greed is good, power is hungry, all the best criminals have college degrees Hey, hey, one more time yeah Greed is good, power is hungry, all the best criminals have college degrees Gonna build these muscles up Gonna tear these walls down Take a drink from my cup, and pass it all around Connecting with my soul where my feet touch the ground Going round, going round, going round, going round Going round, going round

Welcome to suburbia, full of beige prisons Making people like machines, tell em that they're living Hook em up to cables, and feed em the same diet Kills all imagination and keeps the crowds quiet Living in an age when banks kiss the sky People living for their mortgage, and their piece of the pie Everyday starts and ends with the sun in the sky Ever stop, and ask yourself why? Ever stop, and close your eyes? I said close your eyes, I said close your eyes, and self realize Billboards, parking lots, strip malls, T.V. Get a car, go to college, job, house, family It's all been done before, they'll do it all again A broken record of our culture, if you pay it then your in If you pay it then you're in, if you pay it then you're in Flip over that B side, and play it again If you pay it then you're in All around the world, rebellions are rising People standing on their feet, and together they're fighting Using their bodies, and their voices to make a statement No longer will the greedy have our silent consent Add your voice, join in, the truth won't be silenced It's been a long time since we stood up to these tyrants Like the myths of old, it's like the things of legends Do we stand up, or do we just let it happen? Stop pretending you ain't magik Turn off the T.V. it's all static We all feeling super manic This ship's sinking, the titanic The Dem's and the Rep's are two of the same coin If you can't see it then your mind's gone, Bing Boing Freedom doesn't stay if you give it all away Know your rights, stand your ground, know when to disobey Know when to disobey Freedom doesn't stay if you give it all away Know your rights, stand your ground, know when to disobey Know when to disobey Billboards, parking lots, strip malls, T.V. Get a car, go to college, job, house, family It's all been done before, they'll do it all again A broken record of our culture, if you pay it then your in Got to play to win, got to play with sin Got to jump in the deep end and learn to swim Nothing stays the same, nothing's promised, not even rain Cast your chips on the chance that this all's going to change Billboards, parking lots, strip malls, T.V. Get a car, go to college, job, house, family It's all been done before, they'll do it all again A broken record of our culture, if you pay it then your in

Running through a dream Trying to find what I've been searching for Never quite as it seemed Turned around at what I thought was a door Running till my feet bleed The more I try, the more this scenery keeps up with me Believing if I pick up speed We'll leave this place, and finally we'll be free We found each other with broken hearts and broken dreams Finding the beauty in the simple things, in the simple things Star crossed lovers, lost at sea I followed the North Star, and you found me When the darkness makes me go blind It's always your hands I find Stronger than I could ever be Standing only on my two feet Baby I feel like we Have known each other for eternity No matter what we shall find I know I have your heart, and you've got mine We found each other with broken hearts and broken dreams Finding the beauty in the simple things, in the simple things Star crossed lovers, lost at sea I followed the North Star, and you found me I see the fire in your eyes Burning bright from the inside, the inside With every breath and every sigh I open up from the inside, the inside We're here for the ride The one that doesn't stop even when we die In love we'll both abide Held and tossed like the ocean's tide We found each other with broken hearts and broken dreams Finding the beauty in the simple things, in the simple things Star crossed lovers, lost at sea I followed the North Star, and you found me
