    Chained to the Rhythm
    Are we crazy?
    Livin' our lives through a lens
    Trapped in our white picket fence
    Like ornaments
    So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, bubble
    So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
    Aren't you lonely
    Up there in utopia
    Where nothing will ever be enough?
    Happily numb
    So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, bubble
    So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
    Ah, so good
    Your rose-colored glasses on
    And party on (woo)
    Turn it up, it's your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we're free
    Drink, this one's on me
    We're all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm, to the rhythm
    Turn it up, it's your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we're free
    Drink, this one's on me
    We're all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm, to the rhythm
    Are we tone deaf?
    Keep sweepin' it under the mat
    Thought we could do better than that
    I hope we can
    So comfortable, we're livin' in a bubble, bubble
    So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
    Aha, so good (so good)
    Your rose-colored glasses on
    And party on (woo)
    Turn it up, it's your favorite song
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we're free
    Drink, this one's on me
    We're all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm, to the rhythm
    Turn it up, it's your favorite song (oh)
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up, keep it on repeat
    Stumblin' around like a wasted zombie
    Yeah, we think we're free
    Drink, this one's on me
    We're all chained to the rhythm
    To the rhythm, to the rhythm (woah)
    It is my desire
    Break down the walls to connect, inspire
    Ay, up in your high place, liars
    Time is ticking for the empire
    The truth they feed is feeble
    As so many times before
    The greed over the people
    They stumblin' and fumblin' and we're about to riot
    They woke up, they woke up the lions (woah)
    Turn it up, it's your favorite song (hey)
    Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
    Turn it up (turn it up), keep it on repeat
    Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (like a wasted zombie)
    Yeah, we think we're free (ah)
    Drink, this one's on me (ah)
    We're all chained to the rhythm (we're all)
    To the rhythm, to the rhythm (we're all chained to the rhythm)
    It goes on, and on, and on
    It goes on, and on, and on (turn it up, it goes on and on and on and on)
    It goes on, and on, and on (on and on and on it goes)
    'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm

    Would you know my name
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would it be the same
    If I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on
    'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
    Would you hold my hand
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would you help me stand
    If I saw you in heaven?
    I'll find my way through night and day
    'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
    Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
    Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please
    Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
    And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
    Would you know my name
    If I saw you in heaven?
    Would it be the same
    If I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on
    'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

    All the life she has seen
    All the meaner side of me
    They took away the prophet's dream
    For a profit on the street
    Now she's stronger than you know
    A heart of steel starts to grow
    All his life he's been told
    He'll be nothing when he's old
    All the kicks and all the blows
    He won't ever let it show
    'Cause he's stronger than you know
    A heart of steel starts to grow
    When you've been fighting for it all your life
    You've been struggling to make things right
    That's how a superhero learns to fly
    Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
    When you've fighting for it all your life
    You've been working every day and night
    That's how a superhero learns to fly
    Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
    Oh-oh, oh, oh
