When you was a child life's a game
But you got all the rules all changed
Pray to a spiritual God for material things
Then wait by the phone but it don't ring
So if you feel like you fell behind
That mountain's got too big to climb
Want to hang your head and say screw it
Forget that shit let's get down to it
Come on, baby
Mind tripper
Dance sister
It'll set you free
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith
Forget the fame
Don't let your balls go down the drain
It'll set you free
The news man shoves it down our throats
The ratings sore, the victims choke
?? Best stand clear
For a few of us who got no fear
So you feel like you sinned baby
You got nothing left to hold, no
Stop feeling like a number
You best forget that sh!t that you been told
Baby bring it on
Mind tripper
Dance sister
It'll set you free
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Bring her right here to me
Mind tripper
Dance sister
That ain't no way to change your past
Just get your head out of your ass
It'll set you free
That shit comes down for miles
And it really starts to stink
Then dump it in the ocean
'Til it's floatin' at the brink
And when that boat don't float no more
They're just gonna let it sink
Don't ask me no more questions, baby
You know what I think, yeah
Well, have heard about it
All the new talk on the streets
I'm coming on hard, baby
I hope you're ready for a brand new me
So get your head out of the gutter
That's no way to right that wrong
There'll be time enough for sleep
When your dead and gone I said
Bye bye, babe
Mind tripper
Dance sister
It'll set you free
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Bring her right here to me
Mind tripper
Dance sister
That ain't no way to change your past
Just get your head out of your ass
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith
Forget the fame
Don't let your balls go down the drain
It'll set you free
