Praying to the Beat Lyrics

I wake each day and I go tick-tock
I spend my life trying to beat the clock
I jump down turn around I gotta move
get up and atom, I ain´t got no time
to lose
I grab my clothes ´cause I can’t be late
a shot of coffee to stimulate
I look around me and what do I see
we are all moving like machinery

Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Yeah, yeah

By bus and train they all march to work
in their cars they go beep beep beep
berserk
the city people all marching in time
just like tin soldiers they’re all in line
the secretaries with their tick-tack typing
they’re hypnotized by their stereo typing
they keep it moving all day long
the time and motion construction –
suction song

Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Yeah

Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,
praying to the beat
Yeah, yea

Politics of Dancing

I wake each day and I go tick-tock 
I spend my life trying to beat the clock 
I jump down turn around I gotta move 
get up and atom, I ain´t got no time 
to lose 
I grab my clothes ´cause I can’t be late 
a shot of coffee to stimulate 
I look around me and what do I see 
we are all moving like machinery

Praying, praying, praying to the beat, 
praying to the beat 
Praying, praying, praying to the beat, 
praying to the beat 
Praying, praying, praying to the beat, 
praying to the beat 
Yeah, yeah

By bus and train they all march to work 
in their cars they go beep beep beep 
berserk 
the city people all marching in time 
just like tin soldiers they’re all in line 
the secretaries with their tick-tack typing 
they’re hypnotized by their stereo typing 
they keep it moving all day long 
the time and motion construction –

Praying, praying, praying to the beat, 
praying to the beat 
Praying, praying, praying to the beat,

Praying, praying, praying to the beat,

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this band sooo much!! I want to add more lyrics by them, but its so hard because they are not too famouse so i have to get the words by ear (hard!) They are also kind of hard to find, their CD, "The Politics of Dancing," only comes in cassette and record...I think this song is about how people need music to break them out of their mechanical lifestyle.
