Request the honor of your presence
The tear gas has blown away
Put down your crumpets and your coffee now
So unfashionably late
Little brother, little sister
Underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves
Stepping out to where the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the times are good
(Woohoo)
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the times are good
You say I'm acting like a beggar
I call it killing the fool
You carry more baggage than a momma's boy
On your first day of school, say
Little brother, little sister
Underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves
Stepping out to where the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the times are good
(Woohoo)
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the times are good
Let go of the light of the TV
Drop the hands
The chains that bind me
Turn it all around
Stop, lift you up 'n die to self
In a time when the left and the right's the same
When it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze
Send out the invitations
(Woohoo)
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
And the times are good
(Woohoo)
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
(You say I'm acting like a beggar)
And the times are good
(Woohoo)
I call it killing the fool
And the people sing
(Woohoo)
(To save your life you gotta lose it)
And the times are good
(Woohoo)
So the people sing
(Woohoo)
