Why Aren't You Dancing?

Why is everybody angry?

Why is everybody bored?

All they do is point their fingers

I don't think anybody's sure (listen)

No one knows how to be patient

And no one can take a joke

If we all get what we paid for

Why is everybody broke?

And one more thing

If the world is spinning round

Then tell me why aren't you dancing?

All the trees stuck in the ground

Are doing more than just standing

I don't know if they make a sound

But I guess I'll take my chances

If the world is spinning round

There's a song I don't remember

I think I wrote it in my mind

But the words were really simple

Something about everything ending up fine

(Everything's gonna be fine)

Yeah, and one more thing

If the world is spinning round

Then tell me why aren't you dancing?

All the trees stuck in the ground

Are doing more than just standing

I don't know if they make a sound

But I guess I'll take my chances

If the world is spinning round

Are you mad? Fix your face, come and get this cake

Give me a kiss, here's a plate, let me celebrate

It's my big day and I made my Momma proud

I was in a foreign state, I do want I wanna now

Look at what it costs just to make some people smile

I'm so glad I didn't grow up as a Nero child

If you want a break, come here, baby

Let's forget that everybody's going crazy, oh

If the world is spinning round

Then tell me why aren't you dancing?

All the trees stuck in the ground

Are doing more than just standing

And I don't if they make a sound

But I guess I'll take my chances

If the world, yeah, ooh, cool
