Track Lyrics

VERSE 1

IT'S OUR OCCUPATION
WE'RE A DANCING NATION
WE KEEP THE PRESSURE ON EVERY NIGHT
EXPLANATIONS ARE
COMPLICATIONS
WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE WHERE OR WHY

VERSE 2

TAKING CHANCES
BOLD ADVANCES
DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK WE'RE OUT OF LINE
CONVERSATION IS
INTERROGATION
GET OUT OF HERE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME

CHORUS

TAKE OR LEAVE US ONLY PLEASE BELIEVE US
WE AIN'T EVER GONNA BE RESPECTABLE
LIKE US HATE US BUT YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE US
WE AIN'T EVER GONNA BE RESPECTABLE

VERSE 3

HESITATION
IS JUST FRUSTRATION
GIVE US THE MUSIC AND WE'RE ALL RIGHT
ON EACH OCCASION
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
WE CAN LOOK AFTER OURSELVES ALL RIGHT

VERSE 4

FASCINATION
IS OUR SENSATION
WE LIKE TO PUT OURSELVES ON THE LINE
RECREATION IS
OUR DESTINATION
SO DON'T WAIT UP FOR US TONIGHT

CHORUS

TAKE OR LEAVE US ONLY PLEASE BELIEVE US
WE AIN'T EVER GONNA BE RESPECTABLE
LIKE US HATE US BUT YOU'LL NEVER CHANGE US
WE AIN'T EVER GONNA BE RESPECTABLE
