Have you heard it on the news about this fascist groove thang?
Evil men with racist views spreading all across the land
Don't just sit there on your ass unlock that funky chaindance
Brothers, sisters, shoot your best we don't need this fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters we don't need the fascist groove thang

History will repeat itself crisis point, we're near the hour
Counterforce will do no good white blue eyes, I feel your power
Hitler proves that funky stuff it's not for you and me
Europe's an unhappy land they've had their fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters we don't need their fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters we don't need their fascist groove thang

Democrats are out of power across that great wide ocean
Reagan's president elect Fascist God in motion
Generals tell him what to do stop your good time dancing
Train their guns on me and you fascist thang advancing
Sisters, brothers lend a hand increase your population
Grab that groove thang by the throat and throw it in the ocean
You're real tonight, you move my soul let's cruise out of the dance war
Come out your house and dance your dance shake that fascist groove thang 
Brothers, sisters we don't need that fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters we don't need the fascist groove thang

Let Me Go

Once there was a day we were together all the way an endless path unbroken
But now there is a time a torture less sublime our souls are locked and frozen
Once we were years ahead, but now those thoughts are dead let me go
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me let me go
I walk alone, and yet never say goodbye let me go
Change of heart, a change of mind, and heaven fell that night let me go

I tried but could not bring the best of everything too breathless then to wonder
I died a thousand times found guilty of no crime now everything is thunder
Daytime, all I want is nighttime, I don't need the
Daytime, all I want is nighttime, I don't need the got to let me go
Once we were years ahead, but now those thoughts are dead let me go
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me let me go
I walk alone, and yet never say goodbye let me go
Change of heart, a change of mind, and heaven fell that night let me go

The best years of our lives the hope of it survives the facts of life unspoken
The only game in town I'll turn the last card down and now the bank is broken

Temptation

I've never been closer I've tried to understand
That certain feeling carved by another's hand
But it's too late to hesitate we can't keep on living like this
Leave no track don't look back
All I desire keep climbing higher and higher
Adorable creatures with unacceptable features
Trouble is coming it's just the high cost of loving
You can take it or leave it but you'd better believe it

You've got to make me an offer that cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day every second counts I can't break away
Leave no trace hide your face
All I desire keep climbing higher and higher
You can take it or leave it but you'd better believe it

Step by step day by day every second counts I can't break away
Keep us from temptation keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation lead us not in temptation
You've got to make me an offer that cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day every second counts I can't break away
Leave no trace hide your face
All I desire keep climbing higher and higher
Adorable creatures with unacceptable features
Trouble is coming it's just the high cost of loving
You can take it or leave it but you'd better believe it

Trying to find it you've got to get up behind it
Put your dime in the hot slot but it's a million to one shot
You think that you're right you are gonna face it tonight now
Give me a breakdown because it's time for a shakedown
Trying to find it get up behind it
Dime in the hot slot million to one shot
Think that you're right you are gonna face it tonight now
Give me a breakdown it's time for a shakedown

Crushed By The Wheels Of Industry

Work Now Work Now

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show 
We'll watch TV and analyze the weather
Before we go to work, we'll have planned the day ahead 
We'll while away the working day together
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same work the same
If you want to play some are nurses, some steal purses some are workers, some are not
It is time for a party liberation for the nation now work now
Crushed by the wheels of industry crushed by the wheels of industry

There's a party going on that's going to change the way we live
But how do we know we've even been invited
Now the invitation is waiting, and the table is reserved
So just play it cool and don't get excited
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same work the same will we ever change
It's vocation or vacation some are workers, some are not
It is time for a party syncopation for the nation now
Crushed by the wheels of industry crushed by the wheels of industry

Breaking in the future just before the week is up
They can do it, but it's going to take some money
Have what you desire if and when you see the fact
They will lead us to the land of milk and honey
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same
If you want the pay but do you really want the pain
Some drive tankers, some are bankers some are workers, some are not
It is time for a party liberation for the nation now
Crushed by the wheels of industry crushed by the wheels of industry

Penthouse and Pavement

Sweat my youth away with the rules we have to play
Speeding through your magazine pistol, pavement, no T.V.
Talk and talk no time, night time burnt inside
Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Now here comes my job credit, bleeding with the mob
Dreams become ideals no one knows the way I feel
Love to love daytime, right time all my life
Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Feel safe in the crowd and no one admits they're crying aloud
My career fits like a glove knowing no orders can come from above
Work and work full time, part time anytime at all
As you face the wall God make it this time or never at all
Before your chance has gone captain this lead role and you'll be the one
Shine and shine this time, my time make me free at last
Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the night time, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Low Society

A judge a dentist or physician in this low society
Trade ambition for position in this low society
Have you heard it's in the stars next July we collide with Mars
Have you heard it in the bars in this low society
No more pay and lots of leisure in this low society
I'm just doing what I can in this low society
But I'm an incidental man in this low society

I give away what others sell the secret's yours so never tell
Because if you do you'll go to hell low society
Side by side and always tired all for one and no one hired
All that's left is love inspired low society
And when the party is complete and you're still standing on your feet
The taste of victory is sweet low society

And darling don't forget in this low society
To turn off your TV set in this low society
The most important thing at all in this low society
Is not to stand too tall in this low society
In this world that never learns I can see Rome as it burns
All the passion and the power turns to ash within an hour
No more play and no more pleasure in this low society
