Thank God I was born in a time when something new was about to start
Been shut down I've been kicked around, now there's an A-bomb in my heart
And I know that the times are rough but I won't play dead while I'm alive
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound of all the anger in our hearts

'cause right now under this fevering moon I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed, it's okay

Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
And absolutely no [bad word] whatsoever, baby

Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
So absolutely no [bad word] whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no [bad word] whatsoever, baby

And I know that the times are rough, but I won't play dead while I'm alive
For I long for the shock and the awe of speaking plainly from my mind
But I know there's a place down town where they say there's a bug-free zone
So let's go, let's head out tonight and let the words in our minds spill out

'cause right now under this fevering moon I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed, it's all
And a little bit more as [bad word] alive again

Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
And absolutely no [bad word] whatsoever, baby

Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no [bad word] whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no [bad word] whatsoever, baby

It's only ripples in the sand
It's only ripples in the sand
It's only ripples in the sand
