On a day like this
Like any other day
You crave a little bliss
A little break from all that you deal with and yearn to miss

Go for something quick
With a catchy lick
Though they call it lame
"It all sounds the same!"
You're not in the mood
For the finest food
Too much to digest
It's an endless quest!

Set originality aside
For the inevitable drop

Play our chords
We gravitate towards
A comfortable sound
Don't try to switch out the familiar
Keep the rules to which we are bound

The minor and the major
The rhythm from Africa
Nothing here's original
But we don't care

The party fills the air
A hazy, pulsing light
Dance to the beats if you can't sleep
And keep the streets busy all night

A pumping, upbeat tempo
Electrifying synths
Play the chorus from your deck
They wrote it for us to spec

And after work is done
You know just where to turn for fun

Maybe you can create something unique and new?
Or don't bother tempting fate:
Attempt to emulate those that know how to play it safe

Pick a simple beat
Let them stomp their feet
Keep the time in four
What they've felt before
Don't use dissonance
It's just common sense
Be predictable
Never too simple

Set musicality aside
And press play!

Feel that beat and hit the floor
Your body screams for more
Just give in to the dance
You know you're bored whenever you can't
You can't afford another chance

The lead, sweet like a siren
The bass, punchy and rude
Drums drive it like a bullet train
And we all climb aboard

Return to that old chord
The soundtrack to your life
A song to bump every day
A little something for the strife

Imagine you're the diva
And belt it out at once
Pretend a band is in your room
Lacking a mic stand, swing a broom

And after school is out
You know just what to sing and shout

It might be seen as base
But it doesn't matter
There's a time and place
For every taste
You don't have to stick to just one

Simply enjoy

Cue it up again
Cue it up again
Take me way back when
Take me way back when
Here's another chance
Here's another chance
For your favorite dance
For your favorite dance

Get ready for it one last time
Lose yourself in sound

And play our chords
We gravitate towards
A comfortable sound
Don't try to switch out the familiar
Keep the rules to which we are bound

The minor and the major
The rhythm from Africa
Nothing here's original
But we don't care

The party fills the air
A hazy, pulsing light
Dance to the beats if you can't sleep
And keep the streets busy all night

A pumping, upbeat tempo
Electrifying synths
Play the chorus from your deck
They wrote it for us to spec

And let your spirits soar
No matter what's in store
And do whatever it takes
Embrace those chance mistakes
And just keep dancing on
Until that worry's gone
And play the songs you love tonight

To make it all right
