[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Well, you can bump and grind
If it's good for your mind
Well, you can twist and shout
Or let it all hang out

[Chorus]
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no

[Verse 2]
Well, you can tear a plane
In the falling rain
I drive a Rolls Royce
'Cause it's good for my voice

[Chorus]
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no

[Bridge]
Yeah
Yeah, man

[Verse 3]
Well, you can bump and grind
If it's good for your mind
Well, you can twist and shout
Let it all hang out

[Chorus]
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, no, no

[Outro]
No

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
