  • Mmm buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
    Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah

    We're all goin', we're all goin'

    Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
    The room lit up and we ran about
    Well, this is what I really call a party now
    Packed up our cars, moved to the next town

    Well, the lampshades's on fire when the lights go out
    This is what I really call a party now
    Well, fear makes us really, really run around
    This one's done so where to now?

    Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
    Well you all know what I'm talking' about
    Shaved off my eyebrows when I fall to the ground
    So I can't look surprised right now

    Pack up again, head to the next place
    Where we'll make the same mistakes
    Burn it up, or just chop it down
    Ah, this one's done so where to now?

    Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
    Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah

    We're all goin', we're all goin'

    Well, the lampshade's on fire when the lights go out
    This is what I really call a party now
    Well, fear makes us really, really run around
    Ah, this one's done so where to now?


    Our eyes light up, we have no shame at all
    Well, you all know what I'm talkin' about
    The room lights up, well, we're still dancing around
    We're havin' fun, havin' some for now

    Pack up again, head to the next place
    Where we'll make the same mistakes
    Open one up and let it fall to the ground
    Pile out the door when it all runs out

    Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh-duh-dah
    Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh-duh-dah

    We're all goin', we're all goin'

    We have spines in our bones
    We'll eat your food, we'll throw stones

    Oh, this is how it's always gone
    And this is how it's goin' to go

    Well, we're the human race
    We're goin' to party out of this place
    And then move on

    Tough love

    We'll kill you off and then make a clone
    Yeah, we got spines, yeah, we have bones
    This is how it's always gone
    And this is how it's goin' to go

    As our feelings are getting hurt
    Ah, we want you to do the work
    Our ass looks great inside these jeans
    Well, we all just don't wanna' clean

    Oh, this is how it's always been
    And this is how it's goin' to be
    So, you just move on

    The air's on fire so we're movin' on
    Better find another one 'cause this one's done
    Waitin' for the magic when the scientists glow
    To push, push, push, push, pull us up

    Spend some time to float in outer space
    Find another planet, make the same mistakes
    Our mind's all shattered when we climb aboard
    Hopin' for the scientists to find another door Writer/s: ERIC JUDY, ISAAC BROCK, JEREMIAH GREEN, KIRBY FAIRCHILD, RUSSELL HIGBEE, TOM PELOSO
