This world is ra ra
In a bad romance, going ga ga
You know we’re gettin’ played by the love game
And hypnotized by all the fame
But I believe we can’t back down from the fight
It’s not okay with me to just be silent
Won’t be silent, silent

No, we won’t let them take control
We won’t go with the flow
We’ve got to stand together
It’s all plastic and I can’t be a fake
It’s all static, every word that they say
We won’t let them take control
Won’t let them take control

Life is short, baby tik tok
Ain’t got no time for your blah blah (nah nah nah)
‘Cause girl we don’t need your drug
No, no, we don’t what you’re calling love
‘Cause I believe that you’re either yes or no
You’re hot or cold
No teenage dream could ever be worth your soul
Never worth your soul

Burn like a fire
Shine like a diamond
See a flash when I smile
Brighter than Kanye’s
Comes to the heart
Gotta guard what we buyin’
Can’t you see they all got you tryin’
To fall in love with your stereo
So they control what you think and everywhere you go
But greater is He who lives inside of we know
He won’t lose fight
That’s right

This song is not meant as an attack on other artists. We are just disappointed in the message that their music is sending to kids. We hope our music serves to counter that...generating a positive message that will encourage our generation. --D.J.
