[Verse 1]

Are we crazy?

Living our lives through a lens

Trapped in our white picket fence, like ornaments

So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

Aren't you lonely?

Up there in utopia

Where nothing will ever be enough

Happily numb

So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

[Pre-Chorus]

F Dm C

So put

Your rose-colored glasses on

And party on

[Chorus]

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

YEAH! We think we’re free, drink, this one’s on me

C Em

We’re all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

YEAH! We think we’re free, drink, this one’s on me

C Em Am

We’re all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

[Verse 2]

Are we tone deaf?

Keep sweeping it under the mat

Thought we could do better than that

I hope we can

So comfortable, we’re living in a bubble, bubble

So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

[Pre-Chorus]

F Dm C

So put

Your rose-colored glasses on

And party on

[Chorus]

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

YEAH! We think we’re free, drink, this one’s on me

C Em

We’re all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

YEAH! We think we’re free, drink, this one’s on me

C Em

We’re all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

[Bridge]

Dm Em

It is my desire

F G

Break down the walls to connect, inspire

Up in your high place, liars

Time is ticking for the empire

Dm Em

The truth they feed is feeble

F G

As so many times before

The greed over the people

They stumbling and fumbling and we about to riot

They woke up, they woke up the lions

[Chorus]

Turn it up, it’s your favorite song

Dance, dance, dance to the distortion

Turn it up, keep it on repeat

Stumbling around like a wasted zombie

YEAH! We think we’re free, drink, this one’s on me

C Em

We’re all chained to the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm

It goes on, and on, and on

C Em

'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm
