[Chorus]
I don't know about you, but
I could use a little downtime, I'm
Sick of being stuck in one room, when
So much can happen outside
We're all animals in our own way
And all animals need a little light and space
So what you need to try and do is break the chains
Instead of sitting in a cage, wishing life away, now
I don't know about you, but
I could use a little downtime, I'm
Sick of being stuck in one room, when
So much can happen outside
We're all animals in our own way
And all animals need a little light and space
So what you need to try and do is break the chains
Instead of sitting in a cage, wishing life away, now
[Verse 1]
It's Friday night
And you were down for some fun
And while the time is right
Your whole week has been a catalog of minor gripes
And niggling little things that make you die inside
But you don't need any problems on your mind tonight
Don't watch them, take them out your line of sight
Don't be giving in to [?] that'll dry your eyes
Time for you to hit the street like it's final fight
So socialise, you're getting into the vibe
You're getting into the vibe
And on it like the type of guy that doesn't need telling twice
All of life doesn't need to be so damn dry
If you're with me on that please hold your hands high
Some folk use any excuse to let loose
Others stay hold up like chickens in coops
Now, I would say the thing that you need to do
Is find a happy medium somewhere in between the two, and
Get involved
[Chorus]
I don't know about you, but
I could use a little downtime, I'm
Sick of being stuck in one room, when
So much can happen outside
We're all animals in our own way
And all animals need a little light and space
So what you need to try and do is break the chains
Instead of sitting in a cage, wishing life away, now
[Verse 2]
What's up now? You're looking kinda tightly wound
What you need to do is quickly turn your life around
There's a thin line between smiles and frowns
But you can hit the big time, here's a guide to how
Gather round, gather round, we supply the sound
Gonna entice a crowd to get entirely [?]
Getting hot up in here, someone wipe me down
I'm feeling like I might have lost about 19 pounds
Or there abouts, in your whereabouts
Getting funky in the club, we need to air it out
I'm not saying f*** everything you care about
But every now and then, ease off on the pressure valve
I know life can be full of heartbreak and sorrow
But we'll deal with that later, lets say tomorrow
'till then just remember how to act like children
And let me see you exhibit a lack of discipline
[Chorus]
I don't know about you, but
I could use a little downtime, I'm
Sick of being stuck in one room, when
So much can happen outside
We're all animals in our own way
And all animals need a little light and space
So what you need to try and do is break the chains
Instead of sitting in a cage, wishing life away, now
I don't know about you, but
I could use a little downtime, I'm
Sick of being stuck in one room, when
So much can happen outside
We're all animals in our own way
And all animals need a little light and space
So what you need to try and do is break the chains
Instead of sitting in a cage, wishing life away, now
