Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down. Nah nah nah cut this tension mate it's too much. Situation volatile, seriously hostile Breadwinners, Soul searchers, Fear merchants, Seeking. Brightly coloured, no use for camouflage, When you're venomous and willing to sabotage. We're just a group of your white blood cells Fighting off parasites We're your system mechanics Trying to fix this machine What's the one thing that has More speed, More strength, And goes deeper than us? A Nuclear Submarine. Ah come on just open the door! Knocked off my feet by the backdraft Brought back to earth Oxygen clears my head And I just gotta say Oh you're not gonna believe this You can't perceive this This is like nothing you've seen before But lucky for you Yeh lucky for you This is an open door Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down. Down on your shoulders Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down Just push right back. Oh you're not gonna believe this You can't perceive this This is like nothing you've seen before But lucky for you Yeh lucky for you They're well prepared... but they forgot one thing Yeh yeh we're nice guys... until we're not Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down Down on your shoulders Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down Just push right back Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down Come and join the party leave anxieties behind When the weight of all the world is pushing down Just push right back
