LYRICS

Are you for or against usWe are trying to get somewhereLooking around for a helping handWe're doing our best to keep it steadyBut it's falling down around usBlows keep coming fast and strongI done found another fellowHe agrees with my directionArms around each others shoulders we go everywhereAre you in, are you outAre you in, are you outAre you in, are you outAre you in, are you outDo you care to dance about and shoutJoin Jack and the boysBe in a bandDoing a one night standWe'll be dancing in the floodlightSecond to noneNot even on a bad nightDancing in the floodlightSecond to noneNot even on a bad nightWe'll succeed where others failedStay together many yearsAnd watch us take the world by stormAre you in, are you outDo you care to dance about and shoutJoin Jack and the boysBe in a bandDoing the one night stands
