Lyrics of 'Absolutely No Decorum' by The Ark

Thank God I was born in a time
When something new was about to start
Been shut down, I've been kicked around
Now there's an A-bomb in my heart
And I know that the times are rough
But I won't play dead while I'm alive
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound
Of all the anger in our hearts

'Cause right now under this fevering moon
I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need,
Be it hunger or greed, it's ok

Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

And I know that the times are rough
But I won't play dead while I'm alive
For I long for the shock and the awe
Of speaking plainly from my mind
But I know there's a place downtown
Where they say there's a bug-free zone
So let's go, let's head out tonight
And let the words in our minds spill out

'Cause right now under this fevering moon
I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed
It's all and a little bit more as we come alive again

Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby
Absolutely no decorum whatsoever, baby

It's only ripples in the sand
It's only ripples in the sand
It's only ripples in the sand
