Sing - The Dresden Dolls

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

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

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 can not sing wherever you want

But for now let’s all pretend that we’re gonna get bombed

So sing

Sing cause it’s obvious sing for the astronauts sing

Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing

Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjaweed sing

Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing

Just sing

Life is no cabaret

We don’t care what you say

We’re inviting you anyway

You motherfuckers you’ll sing someday…
