Oh the troubled line
Of accomplished facts
(Misery mass, stand at the back, misery mass, slip through the cracks)
When it's not your fight
And you counteract
(Misery mass, stand at the side, misery mass, we're taught to hide)
Where there are no lights
There's no-one to impress
(Misery mass, standing around, misery mass, when you surround)
Will you ask me more?
Will you hear me less?
It's anyone's guess
Don't want to dance in front of strangers I don't know
Nuh huh
Oh no
Don't want to validate the people I've outgrown
Nuh huh
(Don't, don't, don't)
(Oh no)
Can we go somewhere else?
Where we can be ourselves?
If we held our smiles
We'd be free to go
(Misery mass, stand at the back, misery mass, slip through the cracks)
And we don't go out very often
'Cause "pristine" is part of the problem
I'm for radio
Don't want to dance in front of strangers I don't know
Nuh huh
Oh no
Don't want to validate the people I've outgrown
Nuh huh
Oh no
Can we go somewhere else?
Where we can be ourselves
Truly?
Don't want to dance in front of strangers I don't know
Nuh huh
Oh no
Don't want to validate the people I've outgrown
Nuh huh
Oh no
Don't want to dance in front of strangers I don't know
Nuh huh
(Don't wanna dance)
Oh no
Don't want to validate the people I've outgrown
Nuh huh
Oh no
Can we go somewhere else?
Where we can be ourselves?
