Repetition (Repetition)

Play it once: dissatisfied.
Play it again until it feels right.
Play it again until it feels right.
Play it again until it feels right.

Build the calluses on your skin
And play the second verse again.
And play the second verse again.
And play the second verse again.

Keep it clean, don't fall behind
Can't hurt to do it one more time.
Can't hurt to do it one more time.
Can't hurt to do it one more time.

Work up a sweat, but keep the beat
Another set, then rest your feet.
Another set, then rest your feet.
Another set, then rest your feet.

Get in the zone and close your eyes
Then kill 'em at the curtain's rise.
Then kill 'em at the curtain's rise.
Then kill 'em at the curtain's rise.

...May I have a drum roll, please?
It's time to bring the crowd to its knees.
