[Chorus:]

Talk is cheap, shut up and dance

Don't get deep, shut up and dance



Love has got me down

The weight is all around

So you lend a hand to peace on earth

Here's my piece, now what's it worth

Yea, but it's all right



When you can't define the crime

Then life ain't worth a dime

When they take away everything you got

And they rub your nose in the funky spot

Not without a fight



When you work your fingers to the bone

And what does that get you--NOTHING

If in a crowd of people

You're still alone

I hope that tells you something



The road to heaven is paved in hell

And it makes you wonder 

Why you're here at all



Check out the shape of your circumstance

He wears the dress and she wears the pants

Here comes Jill and she needs romance

But you can't do jack so shut up and dance!



Sex is like a gun

You aim, you shoot, you run

When you're splittin hairs with Mr. Clean

It' like gettin head from a guillotine

And the night has just begun

[Chorus]
