Wicked - Dancing Through Life Lyrics
Fiyero:The trouble with schools isThey always try to teach the wrongLessonBelieve me, I've been kicked outOf enough of them to knowThey want you to become less callowLess shallowBut I say: why invite stress in?Stop studying strifeAnd learn to live "the unexamined life"Dancing through lifeSkimming the surfaceGliding where turf is smoothLife's more painlessFor the brainlessWhy think too hard?When it's so soothingDancing through lifeNo need to tough itWhen you can sluff it off as I doNothing mattersBut knowing nothing mattersIts just lifeSo keep dancing through...Dancing through lifeSwaying and sweepingAnd always keeping coolLife is fraught lessWhen you're thoughtlessThose who don't tryNever look foolishDancing through lifeMindless and carelessMake sure your where lessTrouble in lifeWoes are fleetingBlows are glancingWhen you're dancingThrough life...So-what's the most swankified place in town?Galinda:That would be the Ozdust BallroomFiyero:Sounds perfect.Lets go down to the ozdust ballroomWe'll meet their later tonightWe can dance till it's lightFind the prettiest girl...Give 'er a whirlRight on down to the ozdust ballroomCome on~~follow meYou'll be happy to be there...All:Dancing through lifeDown at the ozdust...Fiyero:If only because dust is what we come to...All:Nothing mattersBut knowing nothing mattersIts just life...Fiyero:So keep dancing through...Boq:Miss galinda- I hope you'll save at least oneDance for me.
