A bit of an anthem for those who might believe in love.
Everybody get down!
You're on the ground.
You've got to clean up your soul;
don't be so cold
to someone who has seen the pain of it all.

Everybody listen up!
Time's now up.
Turn around to break a heart;
you better do your part
to hurt those little pricks.

You better get down!
Now look around.
Has love done anything for you today?
Is it just gonna get in the way
of fully living life?

You better remember!
That's for sure.
Love brings about crimes of passion
then comes the clashin'
of people, places and things.

They're all getting down!
Do you hear that sound?
Love has a pitch all of its own,
one that cannot condone
if you wanna leave this hell behind.

They're all getting closer!
They're approaching danger.
You know just about as well as I;
that closeness isn't right
because love is the human downfall.

The world will get down!
It won't mess around.
It'll ignore the sane cries for money and fame.
The story's all the same,
because love has traditionally had the upper hand.

The world will be destroyed!
We'll be in joy.
The world will discover
love's immense power,
and it will collapse.

So you better get down!
Just stand on the ground.
You gotta get dirty for this;
don't get dirty for bliss,
for it contains no rewards.

So you better wake up!
Time's almost up.
You still have a chance to rebel against love;
slice it up and dispose of the glove
so you can celebrate your freedom.
