HEY!
two-headed monster on the big blue screen
they tell you how to spend your dime
now all the minutes change to hours
then the days fly by
and nothing occupies your mind

beautiful people tell you what to wear
and who to be
and what to buy
it's time to leave it all behind and
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! (Hey!) shakedown!
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! (Hey!) shakedown!
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! (Hey!) shakedown!

without a doubt they've thought of everything
of every way to steal your time
now all the days have changed to weeks
and still the years fly by
never thought to question why

all those people
talking at you
talking what when why
come on and leave it all behind and

rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! (Hey!) shakedown!
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! (Hey!) shakedown!
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! free your mind of what they say
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! (Hey!) shakedown!
