There's too much confusion

That's the big headline

Too much is illusion

'cause it's 1999

There's too much pollution

That's a sign of the times

Too much of intrusion

Dance and you'll be fine

to the rock steady, rock steady beat

To the rock steady, rock steady beat

too much information

Always on deadline

Too much conspiration

'cause it's 1999

Too much isolation

Baby don't resign

The only medication's

Dance and you'll be fine

to the rock steady, rock steady beat

To the rock steady, rock steady beat

so you want to be a rock'n roll star

You better get up and learn to play a guitar

So you want to be a rock'n roll star

You better get up and remember who you are

dying institutions

Rise of violent crime

Credit to the nation

Man it's 1999

You want revolution

For a nickel and a dime

The answer is frustration

But dance and you'll be fine

to the rock steady, rock steady beat

To the rock steady, rock steady beat

so you want to be a rock'n roll star

You better get up and learn to play a guitar

So you want to be a rock'n roll star

You better get up and remember who you are
