Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There is this thing that's like touching, except you don't touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world's history gradually dying of shock
There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk
[Verse 2]
You sing
You sing
Sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor, sing
Sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing
Sing for the children shooting the children, sing
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing
Just sing
[Verse 3]
There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance
After the show you cannot sing whatever you want
But for now let's just pretend we're all gonna get bombed
And sing
[Verse 4]
Sing 'cause it's obvious, sing for the astronauts, sing
Sing for the soccer team, sing for the Janjaweed, sing
Sing for the president, sing for the terrorists, sing, whoa
Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
Just sing, just sing, just sing
Just sing, just sing, just sing
Just sing, just sing, just sing
Just sing, just sing, just sing
