Request the honor of your presence The tear gas has blown away Put down your crumpets and your coffee now So unfashionably late Little brother, little sister Underwater we go Out of our ordinary selves Steppin' out to where To the people sing Woohoo And the people sing And the times are good You say I'm acting like a beggar I call it k**in' the fool You carry more baggage Than a momma's boy On your first day of school Little brother, little sister Underwater we go Out of our ordinary selves Steppin' out to where To the people sing Woohoo And the people sing And the times are good Let go the light of the TV Drop the hands The chains that bind me Turn it all around Stop, lift you up 'n die to self In a time when the left and the right's the same When it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze Send out the invitations Woohoo And the people sing And the times are good You say I'm acting like a beggar I call it k**ing the fool To save your life you gotta lose it So the people sing
