lyrics

I was a DJ in 2015
I had the headphones, had my name on the big screen
What were you lookin’ for, on all of these dance floors?
Nobody found it but they still paid me anyway
You were a DJ in 2015, you didn’t know it but that’s what we thought of you as
You had your finger on all our emotions
You always pressed it at exactly the wrong time
So many DJs in 2015
So many people mistaking please for love
So many chances to revive the 60s
So many people just did the drugs

Dad was a DJ, in 1983
He came to Brooklyn, in search of the new sound
He didn’t find it, but some of his friends did
Now he’s not a DJ but he’s still, pushing some button
A ticking time bomb when you are a DJ
A ticking time bomb to make people love you
Check all the details and make sure they’re perfect
The only point is to make people love you.
I was a DJ in 2015, now I’m not anything and that is enough
So many DJs in 2015, so many creatures just begging for love

I will follow all the new trends
I will trade pleasure for pain
I will burn down every dancefloor
Just to dance with you again
