Dance
Back door cracked, we don't need a key
We get in for free
No VIP sleaze
Drink that Kool-Aid, follow my lead
Now you're one of us
It's time to kill the lights
And shut the DJ down
This place's about to
Tonight, we're takin' over
No one's getting out
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to
Now what? (What?) We're taking control
We get what we want
We do what you don't
Dirt and glitter cover the floor
We're pretty and sick
We're young and we're bored (ha)
It's time to lose your mind
And let the crazy out (this place about to)
Tonight, we're taking names
'Cause we don't mess around
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to blow, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Blow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This place about to
Go-go-go insane, go insane
Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em
Let me see them hands
Let me, let me see them hands
Go insane go insane
Throw some glitter, make it rain on 'em
Let me see them hands
Let me, let me see them hands
We are taking over (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Get used to it, okay?

Back door, cracked we don't need a key
We don't require permission to enter, we're using the back entrance which is already open.
We get in for free
We don't pay to enter.
No VIP sleaze
We don't act like important people and exclude others.
Drink that Kool Aid follow my lead
Imbibe a drink that will make us feel high and we'll lead you forward.
Now you're one of us
You've joined our group.
It's time to kill the lights and
Switch off the lights and
Shut the D.J. down
Stop the music played by the DJ.
This place's about to
This location is going to
Tonight we're taken over
We have seized control tonight.
No one's getting out!
No one will be allowed to leave.
Blow-oh-oh-oh!
Explode with energy and excitement!
Now what we're taking control
We are completely dominating the situation.
We get what we want
We obtain what we desire.
We do what you don't
We engage in actions you will not.
Dirt and glitter cover the floor
The ground is strewn with dirt and shiny particles.
We're pretty and sick
We're both attractive and highly unstable.
We're young and we're bored
We're youthful but uninterested in most things.
It's time to lose your mind
It's time to go wild and throw caution to the wind.
And let the crazy out
Display abnormal behavior.
Tonight we're taking names
We'll remember the names of the people we encounter.
'Cause we don't mess around
We are not hesitant to take action.
Go go go insane go insane
Act in a wild and extreme manner.
Throw some glitter
Toss shiny particles.
Make it rain on and let me see them hands
Throw shiny particles to simulate it raining and display your hands.
Let me see their hands hands
Show me their hands.
We are taking over
We're completely in charge.
Get used to it, OK
Accept the fact that we're now in charge.

Here are the official lyrics to this song
[Intro: Ke$ha]
Blow (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Blow (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 1: B.o.B]
Just wild in, shades on my face
Eyes on my kicks, lights on my face
Speakers gon' blow, speakers got bass
Bottles on ice, haters gon' hate
Bobby don't care, Bobby's so straight
Bobby from the hood, so Bobby don't play
Bobby burn good
What they prolly gon' say
Sicker than the stuff like ravioli
So bon appetite, Just got a zipper
Blow like a missile, White clef kush
I've been goin' til November
Where the grand gripper?
Word to my dealer
You better remember
I'm from the city where the shorty's and players live
Nice stars out at the ATL
And prolly won't end til 8am
Yeah, I'm an ATLien
An extraterrestrial, obsessed with the vegetable
Up in the air with no parachute
I ain't contested the best in the area
Even the vision impaired, one can tell
That you can see where I'm coming from
And leave all when I'm done
Hater miss me with a bunch of joke
Cause this place's about to blow
I can push stroke here
And ninety feet like a bungee jump
Let's go!
[Interlude: Ke$ha]
We are taking over
Dance
[Verse 2: Ke$ha]
Back door cracked, we don't need a key
