“Chained to the Rhythm” Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Are we crazyLiving our lives through a lensTrapped in our white picket 
fenceLike ornaments

So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the
trouble, trouble

Aren’t you lonely
Up there in utopiaWhere nothing will ever be enoughHappily numb

So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the
trouble, trouble

Pre-chorus:
So put your rose-colored glasses onAnd party on

Chorus:
Turn it up, it’s your favorite songDance, dance, dance to the distortionTurn
it up, keep it on repeatStumbling around like a wasted zombieYeah, we think we’re
freeDrink, this one’s on meWe’re all chained to the rhythmTo the rhythmTo the rhythm

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortionTurn it
up, keep it on repeatStumbling around like a wasted zombieYeah, we think we’re freeDrink,
this one’s on meWe’re all chained to the rhythmTo the rhythmTo the rhythm

Verse 2:
Are we tone deafKeep sweeping it under the matThought we could do better
than thatI hope we can

So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the
trouble, trouble

Pre-chorus:
So put your rose-colored glasses onAnd party on

Chorus:
Turn it up, it’s your favorite songDance, dance, dance to the distortionTurn
it up, keep it on repeatStumbling around like a wasted zombieYeah, we think we’re
freeDrink, this one’s on meWe’re all chained to the rhythmTo the rhythmTo the rhythm

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortionTurn it
up, keep it on repeatStumbling around like a wasted zombieYeah, we think we’re freeDrink,
this one’s on meWe’re all chained to the rhythmTo the rhythmTo the rhythm

Bridge:
It is my desireBreak down the walls to connect, inspireUp in your high place,
liarsTime is ticking for the empireThe truth they feed is feebleAs so many times
beforeThey greed over the peopleThey stumbling and fumblingAnd we about to riotThey
woke up, they woke up the lions

Chorus:
Turn it up, it’s your favorite songDance, dance, dance to the distortionTurn
it up, keep it on repeatStumbling around like a wasted zombieYeah, we think we’re
freeDrink, this one’s on meWe’re all chained to the rhythmTo the rhythmTo the rhythm
