Galvanize
The Chemical Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
With initiative to move, so why make it harder?
Don't hold back, if you think about it
So many people do, be cool man, look smarter
Don't hold back, and you shouldn't even care
'Bout the losers in the air and their crooked stares
Don't hold back, 'cause there's a party over here
So you might as well be here where the people care
Don't hold back, world (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
Galvanize
Come on, come on, come on with it
Don't hold back, if you think about it too much
You may stumble, trip up, fall on your face
Don't hold back, you think it's time you get up
Crunch time like a sit-up, pull monkey face
Don't hold back, put apprehension on the back burner
Let it sit, don't even get it lit
Don't hold back, get involved with the jam
Don't be a prick, hot chick be your fave
Don't hold back, world (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
World (You're holding back)
The time has come to
Galvanize
Come on with that, come on with it
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, the time has come to (Push the button)
World, my finger is on the button
My finger is on the button
My finger is on the button (Push the button)
The time has come to
Galvanize

this riff has been stuck in my head for YEARS because my dad used to play it for me as a kid and yesterday i was humming it in the dentist waiting room and the teenage boy next to me said “the chemical brothers?” and i literally had to thank him because he solved the main mystery in my life.
;
my dad did too and I forgot about it until the oculus quest 2 ads, so I came back to this song and let me tell you this is just the start of the chem bros, I’m glad you found them because there is so much incredibleness here
