[Intro: Kesha]
Cause I want my ass...
Shit, one more time?

[Hook: Dalek]
You must be upgraded
You must be upgraded
You must be upgraded

[Verse 1: Kesha]
Well, it's 2012, think we're going to hell
(You must be upgraded)
Put me under your acid spell
(You must be upgraded)
Cause I want my mind to be completely toast
(You must be upgraded)
When the tides destroy the whole West Coast
(You must be upgraded)
Cause I want my ass to be jumping too
(You must be upgraded)
Oh my, my, and a boo hoo-hoo

[Hook: Dalek]
You must be upgraded
You must be upgraded
You must be upgraded
You must be upgraded

[Verse 2: Kesha]
So with the world ablaze, I'm in an acid haze
(You must be upgraded)
And though the end is near, I have no fear
(You must be upgraded)
What you do for me is not the same
(You must be upgraded)
I'm having fun, while you're having pain, ha

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Kesha]
2012
Good morning to the New Year's light
Just save yourself
Oh, I'll meet you on the other side
Is this the ending
The curtain call, the fall of man?
Is this the ending
Or are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start again?
Are we gonna start?

[Outro: Kesha]
(You must be upgraded)
Oh my, my, and a boo hoo-hoo
(You must be upgraded)
Oh my, my, and a boo hoo-hoo
(You must be upgraded)
Oh my, my, and a boo hoo-hoo
(You must be upgraded)
With the—
Oh, sorry

The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips are an American rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Formed in 1983 as a small-town noise rock foursome, The Flaming Lips have gone through numerous lineup changes and style reinventions, ultimately settling on a consistent core in the late 1990s with frontman Wayne Coyne, chief composer Steven Drozd, and bassist Michael Ivins putting out sublime pop-rock with grandiose synth-orchestral backing arrangements.

Notable former band members include Wayne’s brother Mark Coyne, who was the band’s first vocalist, Jonathan Donahue, who went on to become the frontman of Mercury Rev, guitarist Ronald Jones, and roadie turned tour drummer Kliph Scurlock.

Once Wayne took over as frontman in the late 1980s, the Lips were known for their loud, psychedelic guitar rock (an aesthetic best summed up in the name of an early works compilation “Finally, the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid”) and wild stage antics.
