Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The yellow light shining down
The yellow light shining down
The yellow light shining down
The yellow light shining
[Verse 2]
One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two
Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Oh, hey!
[Verse 3]
Everyone's overdosin' the blue light use
United States of anxiety continues
The brat is in his tower singing the flag, burning blues
But we feel like the nuts 'cause we feel the screws
We don't care 'bout no fits
We don't care 'bout no trouble
We just wanna get in
Let's make out like we're lovers
[Verse 4]
So much for takin' it slow
Now everybody knows
Here we go!
[Verse 5]
The yellow light shining down (Congratulations)
The yellow light shining down (Whoopi do)
The yellow light shining down (You control the world now)
The yellow light shining down (Look at you)
The yellow light shining down (I said "Hey")
The yellow light shining down (There's a higher power)
The yellow light shining down (Like a yellow light)
The yellow light shining down
[Verse 6]
When the stupid gets injected
The sunlight's the best disinfectant
Oh, just let the sun dry
It be like that sometimes
We don't care 'bout no fits
We don't care 'bout no trouble
We just wanna get in
Let's make out like we're lovers
[Verse 7]
So much for takin' it slow
Now everybody knows
Here we go!
[Verse 8]
The yellow light shining down (Congratulations)
The yellow light shining down (Whoopi do)
The yellow light shining down (You control the world now)
The yellow light shining down (Look at you)
The yellow light shining down (I said "Hey")
The yellow light shining down (There's a higher power)
The yellow light shining down (Like a yellow light)
The yellow light shining down
[Verse 9]
Kill whatever you want
And undo what was done
But one thing you can't kill is the fun
[Verse 10]
The yellow light shining down (Congratulations)
The yellow light shining down (Whoopi do)
The yellow light shining down (You control the world now)
The yellow light shining down (Look at you)
The yellow light shining down (I said "Hey")
The yellow light shining down (There's a higher power)
The yellow light shining down (Like a yellow light)
The yellow light shining down
[Verse 11]
So much for takin' it slow
Now everybody knows
Here we go!
(Here we go!)
So much for takin' it slow
Now everybody knows
Here we go!
[Verse 12]
The yellow light shining down (Congratulations)
The yellow light shining down (Whoopi do)
The yellow light shining down (You control the world now)
The yellow light shining down (Look at you)
The yellow light shining down (I said "Hey")
The yellow light shining down (There's a higher power)
The yellow light shining down (Like a yellow light)
The yellow light shining down
