[Intro & Chorus: Katy Perry]
Chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Turn it up, keep it on repeat
This one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Rhythm
Turn it up turn it up, yeah
Alright, don't you get on now
Chained to the rythm (to the rythm)
Chained to the rythm (to the rythm)
It goes on, and on, and on
It goes on, and on, and on
It goes on, and on, and on
'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up

[Verse 1: Katy Perry]
Are we crazy?
Living our life through a lens
Trapped in our white picket fence
Like ornaments
So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble
Aren't you lonely
Up there in utopia
Where nothing will ever be enough?
Happily numb
So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

[Pre-Chorus: Katy Perry]
So put your rose-colored glasses on
And party on

[Chorus: Katy Perry]
Turn it up
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Turn it up
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion
Turn it up
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm

[Verse 2: Katy Perry]
Are we tone deaf?
Keep sweeping it under the mat
Thought we could do better than that
I hope we can
So comfortable, we're living in a bubble, bubble
So comfortable, we cannot see the trouble, trouble

[Pre-Chorus: Katy Perry]
So put your rose-colored glasses on
And party on

[Chorus: Katy Perry]
Turn it up
Dance, dance, dance
Turn it up
Keep it on repeat
Like a wasted zombie
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance
Turn it up
Keep it on repeat
Yeah, we think we're free
This one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm

[Bridge: Skip Marley]
It is my desire
Break down the walls to connect, inspire
Ay, up in your high place, liars
Time is ticking for the empire
The truth they feed is feeble
As so many times before
They greed over the people
They stumbling and fumbling
And we're about to riot
They woke up, they woke up the lions
(Woo!)

[Chorus 2: Katy Perry & Skip Marley]
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
It goes on, and on, and on
It goes on, and on, and on
It goes on, and on, and on
'Cause we're all chained to the rhythm
Turn it up, it's your favorite song
Dance, dance, dance to the distortion (turn it up, turn it up yeah)
Stumbling around like a wasted zombie (like a wasted zombie)
Yeah, we think we're free
Drink, this one is on me
We're all chained to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
It goes...it goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, on and on it goes
All chained to the rhythm

[Outro]
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up
Turn it up, Turn it up up

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth “Katy” Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, businesswoman, philanthropist, and actress. She was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Having had very little exposure to mainstream pop music in her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teen and released her debut self-titled studio album in 2001. She also recorded a second solo album in 2005, (A) Katy Perry, which was scrapped.

Afterwards, Perry (her mother’s maiden name, taken to avert confusion with Kate Hudson) reinvented herself as a party girl pop star, breaking out with 2008’s One of the Boys and the #1 hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold”.

Follow-up Teenage Dream (2010) equalled Michael Jackson’s record of five chart-toppers on the same album, and made Perry even more ubiquotous in the pop landscape. Following her marriage and eventual divorce from British comedian Russell Brand, she released an updated version, Teenage The Complete Confection and concert film Katy Part of Me in 2012. She released her fourth album, Prism, in 2013, along with some standalone singles, such as “Rise”.
