[INTRO – DJ echo, beat building]  
Stop. Right there.  
You’ve demonstrated that you don’t really care  
About much else  
Except your beautiful self…

[PRE-CHORUS]  
You must reject me ‘cos you’ve got to be right  
You won’t expect me to put up a fight  
But that’s where you’re wrong  
Even though you claim I don’t belong

[HOOK – CHANT]  
I won’t be dancing along to your tune  
Now that I know you don’t care  
I’m sure that you will be over the moon  
When I am no longer here

[VERSE 1]  
Cast me out and defend your attack  
Hold your position and hand out the flak  
Have a team that’s got your back  
It won’t change the outcome, no, it won’t change the outcome

Be reckless and obtuse, be vindictive  
But there’s still no excuse for all of this abuse  
It’s a zero-sum game that I’ve outrun  
You claim it’s all about love  
As you clench your fist in a velvet glove  
Just face the fact: I know it’s all an act

[BUILD]  
Because…  
You say I act like I’m in a coma  
But I’m telling you this charade is over  
From now on, I’m gonna write my own song  
From now on, I’m gonna write my own song

[HOOK – SWITCH-UP]  
I won’t be dancing along to your tune  
I know you won’t be over the moon  
But I’ll live to deny you  
And I’ll live to defy you

[VERSE 2]  
For all of your contradictions  
And all of your contrary fictions  
I won’t forgive you  
I’ll just outlive you

Your behaviour is a disgrace  
You wouldn’t know love if it punched you in the face  
You claim I’ve changed, my life’s in tatters  
Is punishment your ultimate goal?  
Bereft of a heart, bereft of a soul  
You just need to take control, it’s all that matters

[HOOK – CALL & RESPONSE]  
(I won’t be dancing) along to your tune  
(Now that I know) you don’t care  
I’m sure that you will be over the moon  
When I am no longer here

[BRIDGE – LIFT]  
Channel the voice of self‑validation  
Be the cause of celebration  
You’re still here, you’re still here  
You won’t give in, you won’t give into fear

This is ordained self‑preservation  
As we emerge from isolation  
We’re still here, you may jeer  
We won’t give into fear… and you won’t interfere

[OUTRO – FINAL CHANT]  
I won’t be dancing along to your tune  
I won’t be dancing along to your tune  
From now on, I’ll write my own song  
From now on, I’ll write my own song  
We’re still here / you may jeer  
We won’t give into fear… and you won’t interfere.
