no one wants to go to shows in Antarctica
no one wants to go out dancing down here
no one wants to party, they say the
weather's too severe
someone needs to put these birds in gear
mother superior censors every pleasure, but
I can't help my rock 'n' roll dissent,
she doesn't want me to boogie, well I
guess I'll just repent
someone needs to rock the convent
life is but a dream, a dreary melody
living isn't living without R&B
common baby, there's only one thing to do,
the world's on fire, hell's a frozen sty,
you don't need sex or drugs to feel good,
you don't need wings to fly,
common baby, dance and don't be shy
life is but a dream, a dreary melody
living isn't living if it ain't got that swing
all the world has lost it's tune
tears of rage falling from the moon
the music will keep going somewhere
we'll all be there soon
dance today with no fear
you're immune
life is but a dream, a dreary melody
living isn't living if the music doesn't play
