Coming up slowly, oh
Sun over the hill
Daylight's still a long time coming
But I know it will
Been under this spell, oh
But we're coming awake
So we'll be rude, we'll be loud
As long as it takes

And this is why, this is why
We crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Sing, ooh, different colors
Ooh, we carry each other
Ooh, we're just different
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

We keep cranking the music up
Driving thru our towns
But they don't want to hear
They want us to turn it down
So come on lovers, come on haters
Tonight we raise the fire
'Cause when the people get to dancing
They forget about taking sides

And this is why, this is why
We crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Sing, ooh, different colors
Ooh, we carry each other
Ooh, we're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

(For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)

We're coming awake
Out of your spell
As long as it takes
We're coming awake

And this is why, this is why
We crank the dial to the right
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

And this is why, this is why
We turn it up all night
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Sing, ooh, different colors
Ooh, we carry each other
Ooh, we're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
We carry each other
We're just different colors
This is why we're biting the bullet
We know the kids are right
