[Intro] Ladies and Gentlemen We have a spectacular show lined up for you all tonight Featuring self-doubt, depression and pretending your fine We would like to welcome you all to witness, Complete utter madness [Verse 1] Watch them all perform Like they've all been taught to do Look at her smile See how it doesn't reach her eyes It's not real She smiles exactly on cue not because she's happy But 'cos it's what you expect her to do And look at him Talking about his wife and kids But in reality he fuckin' hates em He'd run away if he could They're all actors Paid in social fuckin' credit tryin' to pretend they're something, THEY REALLY FUCKIN' AIN'T! [Chorus] Dance Monkey Dance Do as you've been taught You don't wanna stand out Don't wanna get a step outta time. So, Dance Monkey Dance You don't want em to see the real you The spotlight's on you Perform your little routine like you should. [Verse 2] It makes me sick Everybody wears a mask Nobody is who they say they are You only see what they let you see They expect it from you too Don't let em know who you are You'd become a pariah A fuckin' glitch in their code The stage is yours the curtain is drawn Time for your chance show 'em your little routine They all wear a mask EVERY FUCKIN' ONE! That's not their true face Their real one is blue They're all inside But no-one admits that it's true take the stage tell the lies tell em everythin' is fine. NO IT'S BETTER THAN FINE! It's fuckin' divine Everythin' is perfect NOTHIN' WRONG WITH ME! Hahahahaha! [Chorus] Dance Monkey Dance Do as you've been taught You don't wanna stand out Don't wanna get a step outta time. So, Dance Monkey Dance You don't want em to see the real you The spotlight's on you Perform your little routine like you should. [Bridge] I don't wear my mask anymore Broke mine in two with my own hands The nail that sticks out Gets hammered down quick Keep up the mask Don't let em know you're sick I know I'm ugly inside It's the truth But what you won't admit IS YOU'RE FUCKIN' UGLY TOO! [Chorus] Dance Monkey Dance Do as you've been taught You don't wanna stand out Don't wanna get a step outta time. So, Dance Monkey Dance You don't want em to see the real you The spotlight's on you Perform your little routine like you should. Dance Monkey Dance Do as you've been taught You don't wanna stand out Don't wanna miss your lines. So, Dance Monkey Dance You don't want em to see the real you The spotlight's on you Perform your little routine like you should.
