Let's Sing

David Bowie, a playfool drummer, and my shiny red shoes walked into the goddamn white gilded ballroom house, and the rest is yet another song...

If you play drum, I’ll dance with you / And then we can howl, woohoo.

Lyrics

Ah, ah, ah, ah
(Let’s sing)
(Let’s sing)
(Let’s sing) put on your cracked truth and hum the blues
(Let’s sing) to the lies they’re piping through the news
(Louder) as the mirror lights up your face
(Louder) shout through the crowd for a waking grace

If you play drum, I’ll dance with you
And then we can howl, woohoo
Because the love of truth can split a hush in two
But if you fall, into my arms, I’ll care for you meow

(Let’s sing)
(Let’s sing)
(Let’s sing) let’s hope our voice dares y’all
(Let’s sing) let’s share our dreams and all
(Louder) now please look inside my eyes
(Louder) beyond the bollocks, seminal bollocks

And if you play drum, I’ll dance with you
And then we can howl, woohoo
Baby my love for truth may scare ‘em farts of foo
But if you fall, into my arms, I’ll care for you meoow

(Let’s sing)
(Let’s sing)
(Let’s sing) put on your red shoes, hazard the odds
(Let’s sing) through the cracks where the silence nods
(Louder)
(Louder) beyond the bollocks, seminal bollocks

[Bridge / Outro Chant]
Raise your voice, my sweet believers of denial,
True hope’s on fire, freedom’s on trial,
We sing for peace while ducks go to war,
Ain’t a dream, we’ve quacked there before!

Hey! Wake the sleepers!
Hey! Shake the slackers!
Hey! Lies do matter,
Hey! Truth’s only fair…

Let’s sing… beyond the bollocks, seminal bollocks
