Dancing through life
FIYEROThe trouble with schools isThey always try to teach the wrong lessonsBelieve me, I've been kicked outOf enough of them to knowThey want you to become less callowLess shallowBut I say: why invite stress in?Stop studying strifeAnd learn to live the unexamined life
Dancing through lifeSkimming the surfaceGliding where turf is smoothLife's more painlessFor the brainlessWhy think too hardWhen it's so soothing
Dancing through lifeNo need to tough itWhen you can slough it off as I doNothing mattersBut knowing nothing mattersIt's just lifeSo keep dancing through
Dancing through lifeSwaying and sweepingAnd always keeping coolLife is fraught-lessWhen you're thoughtlessThose who don't tryNever look foolish
Dancing through lifeMindless and carelessMake sure you're where less trouble is rife.Woes are fleetingBlows are glancingWhen you're dancingThrough life
