"The Beat Goes On" lyrics

"The Beat Goes On"

Acting out on the big stage
He blows your mind
And you're wearing your dark glasses
Have you something to hide

Oh no, not life again
Love sick love you're not my friend

Well, you must be strong

Cause the beat goes on
And we're dancing our life's song
And the beat goes on
And you know it can't be wrong
We're marching on
Through a world that will be gone
Now
And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

In through the back door
We have a surprise
She's dressed in dark satin
She closes her eyes

Hear the people shake
They're running away
If all of us can't come together
Then none of us can

Oh no, not life again
Love sick love you're not my friend

Well, you must be strong

Cause the beat goes on
And we're dancing our life's song
And the beat goes on
And you know you can't be wrong
We're marching on
Through a world that will be gone
Now
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

As the beat goes on

And we're dancing our life's song
And the beat goes on
And you know you can't be wrong
We're marching on
Through a world that will be gone
Now
The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on

The beat goes on
The beat goes on
The beat goes on...
