You ever had any obsessions? I mean ideas that drive you to do something.
Well yeah, I guess so. Yeah I used to have spells
Where I was afraid to touch a knife for fear I'd cut my throat.
Ever feel that way now?
Woah ho!
(repeat)
It's an open act of defiance
And it's beamed directly at you
We could form some kind of alliance
We could do what we wanted to do
And the young would live forever
And the sun would shine through the blue
If we got our hands on this nation
We could do what we wanted to do
Oh, oh, oh
Make my body move
My name is not important; it's a signal, a sign
It means I'm doing what I do because I do it all the time
I get a lot of fun emotion. I get none if I use ya
I would crawl across the ocean so I could not abuse ya
It's an open act of defiance
And it's beamed directly at you
We could form some kind of alliance
We could do what we wanted to do
And the young would live forever
And the sun would shine through the blue
(Listen to me now!)
If we got our hands on this nation
We could do what we wanted to do
I wanna know yeah
Listen to me now!
It's an open act of defiance
And it's beamed directly at you
We could form some kind of alliance
We could do what we wanted to do
And the young would live forever
And the sun would shine through the blue
If we got our hands on this nation
We could do what we wanted to do
