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
