there`s too much confusion
that`s the big headline
too much is illusion
`cause it`s 1999
there`s too much pollution
that`s a sign of the times
too much of intrusion
dance and you`ll be fine
to the rock steady, rock steady beat
to the rock steady, rock steady beat
too much information
always on deadline
too much conspiration
`cause it`s 1999
too much isolation
baby don`t resign
the only medication`s
dance and you`ll be fine
to the rock steady, rock steady beat
to the rock steady, rock steady beat
so you want to be a rock`n roll star
you better get up and learn to play a guitar
so you want to be a rock`n roll star
you better get up and remember who you are
dying institutions
rise of violent crime
credit to the nation
man it`s 1999
you want revolution
for a nickel and a dime
the answer is frustration
but dance and you`ll be fine
to the rock steady, rock steady beat
to the rock steady, rock steady beat
so you want to be a rock`n roll star
you better get up and learn to play a guitar
so you want to be a rock`n roll star
you better get up and remember who you are
