Let's Dance Lyrics

They teach us how to talk
They teach us how to walk
They teach us how to dance just like this
They'll teach us how to dress in nothin' but the best. It's all about success
Why do we fill our heads with these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess

I don't wanna look inside myself cuz then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't wanna live like someone else and
I'm happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's Dance

They teach us how to roll
make em lots of dough
Money is the god we work for
Keep us with the style
This artificial smile will only last a while
Why do we fill our heads with these things that all make no sense
We're no different from the rest
We're all just tryin' to shake this mess

I don't wanna look inside myself cuz then I'll have to change somethin' else and
I don't wanna live like someone else and
I'm happy in my skin, bein' myself
Let's Dance

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 think this song is very fun and has a good message too. i think its basic message is that we're being corrupt by the material world and need to just be ourselves.
