The trouble with schools is
They always try to teach the wrong lessonBelieve me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callowLess shallow
But I say, Why invite stress in?Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life
Dancing through lifeSkimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smoothLife's more painless
For the brainlessWhy think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through lifeNo need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I doNothing matters
But knowing nothing mattersIt's just life
So keep dancing through
Dancing through lifeSwaying and sweeping
And always keeping coolLife is fraught-less
When you're thoughtlessThose who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through lifeMindless and careless
Make sure you're where lessTrouble is rife
Woes are fleetingBlows are glancing
When you're dancingThrough life
So, what's the most swankified place in town?
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom
Sounds perfect
Let's go down to the Ozdust BallroomWe'll meet there later tonight
We can dance 'til it lightsFind the prettiest girl
Give her a whirlRight on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow meYou'll be happy to be there
Dancing through lifeDown at the Ozdust
If only because dust is what we come toNothing matters
But knowing nothing mattersIt's just life
So keep dancing through
