Dancing Through Life Lyrics

Fiyero
The trouble with school is
they always try to teach the wrong lesson.
Believe me, I've been kicked out
of enough of them to know.
They want you to be less callow,
less shallow,
but I say, "Why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
and learn to live 'the unexamined life'

Dancing through life,
skimming the surface,
gliding where turf is smooth.
Life's more painless
for the brainless.
Why think too hard
when it's so soothing
Dancing through life?
No need to tough it
when you can slough it off as I do.
Nothing matters,
but knowing nothing matters.
It's just life
so keep dancing through

Dancing through life,
swaying and sweeping,
and always keeping cool.
Life is fraughtless
when you're thoughtless.
Those who don't try
never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless,
Make sure you're where less
trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting,
blows are glancing
when you're dancing
through life!

Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom.
We'll meet there later tonight.
We can dance till it's light.
Find the prettiest girl
Give 'er a whirl
right down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on, follow me,
you'll be happy to be there

Dancing through life,
down at the Ozdust,
if only because dust
is what we come to
Nothing matters
but knowing nothing matters,
It's just life
so keep dancing through.
