[Verse 1]

Oh, pick it up!

There's a bass guitar in this

Grenade launcher roars in a television sky

Tell me how many young brothers must die

[Chorus]

Dance on, dance on

Dance on, dance on

[Verse 2]

Little-Talk Johnny blew the big score

The gang nailed his feet to a wooden floor

Nuclear Ben never stays in tune

They all know the words but the music is doomed

[Chorus]

Everybody, dance on, dance on

Dance on, dance on

Pick it up!

Dance on, dance on

Dance on, dance on

Dance on, dance on

Dance on, dance on

[Verse 3]

A bass guitar in spider webs longing for the funk

Uzi gun takes his place in a wagon trunk

(Get off me, punk, you ain't sexy!)

Stealing ladies' purses then setting them aflame

M&M killers playing Mickey Mouse games (Oh, have mercy)

[Bridge]

Dance on, dance on (Dance on!)

Dance on, dance on (Dance on!)

[Verse 4]

It's time for new education

Former rules don't apply

We need a power structure that breeds production

Instead of jacks who vandalize

Detroit, what's happening?

[Outro]

What color is your money today? (Get your money straight)

Get your money straight

Everybody dance on
