Wake the Dead - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Can you feel the beat underneath your feet

Like a freight train coming

Bringing on the heat

Crowd turned up and the kick drum thumpin'

Ain’t no time to think

About a 50 hour week and the tab we're running

Two more rounds of drinks

Got the gas in the tank and the pistons pumpin'

[Chorus]

Oh don’t hold back, just let it go

Oh stompin' out a hole in the hardwood floor

Shake the ground 'til you wake the dead

[Verse 2]

Couple walks in the door

Hits you hard like a jar of white lightning

Steps out on the floor

She's shaking that thing in perfect timing

Three shots down, feeling ten feet tall

Gonna steal a dance

You're spinning her around

She's looking at you like you got a chance

[Chorus]

Oh don't hold back, just let it go

Oh stompin’ out a hole in the hardwood floor

Shake the ground ’til you wake the dead

Shake the ground 'til you wake the dead

[Verse 3]

Put your hands in the air and sing from the heart

If you’ve ever had a home in a trailer park

You see it don't matter where you got your start

The only thing that really matters is you make your mark

And giving it all you've got 'til you drop

Is gonna take you from the bottom all the way to the top

And everybody who stands up and says they made you

Are always gonna be the ones that try to break you

But damn, it ain’t about your need to win

In the end, success is the best revenge

Ain't about the money at the end of the day

'Cause everyone I give a damn about is at the front of the stage

[Verse 4]

Getting it while we're young anyway we can

Beg, steal, or borrow

Living on the run and partying like there's no tomorrow

Burning up the night and shaking it down 'til the break of dawn

Everybody feeling right

Ain't shutting it down 'til the bottle's gone

[Chorus]

Oh don't hold back, just let it go

Oh stompin' out a hole in the hardwood floor

Shake the ground 'til you wake the dead
