I don’t want to take it anymore
I’ll just stay here locked behind the door
Just no time to stop and get away
'Cause I work so hard to make it every day
Whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh
There’s no money falling from the sky
'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind
Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet
And the rent is due, I got no place to stay
Whoo-ooh
Whoo-ooh
And it’s hard to say
Just how some things never change
And it’s hard to find
Any strength to draw the line
Oh, I’m just burning doin’ the neutron dance
I’m just burning doin’ the neutron dance
Industry don’t pay a price that’s fair
All the common people breathing filthy air (Lord, have mercy)
Roof caved in on all the simple dreams
And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes
Edit- but the vibe of the song is so upbeat you’d never know
Neutron Dance by the Pointer Sisters
Really? I’ll have to check out the lyrics now. Such an 80s staple that I think I just sang along and never really processed the words.
The title of the song is a reference to nuclear war.
I don’t want to take it anymore I’ll just stay here locked behind the door Just no time to stop and get away 'Cause I work so hard to make it every day
Whoo-ooh Whoo-ooh
There’s no money falling from the sky 'Cause a man took my heart and robbed me blind Someone stole my brand new Chevrolet And the rent is due, I got no place to stay
Whoo-ooh Whoo-ooh
And it’s hard to say Just how some things never change And it’s hard to find Any strength to draw the line Oh, I’m just burning doin’ the neutron dance I’m just burning doin’ the neutron dance
Industry don’t pay a price that’s fair All the common people breathing filthy air (Lord, have mercy) Roof caved in on all the simple dreams And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes
