[Intro]
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy crazy crazy...

[?]

[Verse 1]
You got to get it together, stop shooting at me
You're just a teenage industry
Why are the C.I.A. having fun
They think you're clever because you've blown up your lungs

[Chorus]
But I love to hear that crazy beat
Gets the people dancing on their feet
And I love to hear the paradise
I love my brothers on a Saturday night yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Break up

[Verse 2]
I'm on my mobile and I'm talking to the president
I got to get him for the money I've spent
Trying to get him to party with me
And even offered him ecstasy

[Chorus]
But I love to hear that crazy beat
Gets the people dancing on their feet
And I love to hear the paradise
I love my sister and I love her tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah

[Bridge]
Break up
It's a beat

[Chorus]
But I love to hear that crazy beat
Gets the people dancing on their feet
And I love to hear the paradise
I love my brothers on a Saturday night
But I love to hear that crazy beat
Gets the people dancing on their feet
And I love to hear the paradise
I love that feeling and I love her tonight

[Outro]
And I love to hear that crazy beat
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Crazy beat crazy beat yeah yeah (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
