The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - page 113
Riley had better control of them than I had thought possible.
Still, it was mostly repetitiion. I had noticed Riley saying the same things over and over and over again. Work together, watch your back, don't go at her head-on; work together, watch your back, don't go at him head-on; work together, watch your back, don't go at her head-on. It was kind of ridiculous, really, and made the group seem exceptionally stupid. But I was sureI would have been just as stupid if I'd been in the thick of the fight with them rather than watching calmly from the sidelines with Fred.
I t reminded me in a way of how Riley had drilled into us our fear of the sun. Constant repetition.

Can I scream?
Yeah
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
We lack the motion to move to the new beat

It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it
Can afford the luxury of turning our heads
Adjust that thousand dollars smile and behold the creation of man
Great words won't cover ugly actions
Good frames won't save bad paintings

We lack the motion to move to the new beat
Yeah, we lack motion
When the day is over
Hey, the doors are locked on us
Money buys the access
And we can't pay the cost
And how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice?
We need new noise
New art for the real people

We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not leading

We dance all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance all the wrong songs

We dance all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance all the wrong songs

Here we go

We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading
Yeah, yeah, yeah

The new beat, the new beat, the new beat, the new beat
The new beat, the new beat, the new beat, the new beat
The new beat, the new beat, the new beat, the new beat
The new beat, the new beat, the new beat, the new beat
Thank you
