Tradition - Naturally 7
Written by:Roger Thomas/Simuel Stevenson
They gotcha dancin' to the drum
It's time to breakaway and run
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You wrapped up you tied up
They gotcha dancin' to the drum
It's time to breakaway and run
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You wrapped up you tied up
Why you trying to think for me
Just because you came before me
Why you criticize what I do
'Cause it ain't like what you used to do
What you do
'Cause they did what they did
Can you think out the box or just snap to the grid
Are lookin' on the surface or under the lid
Are you thinkin' or just following tradition
Oh
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
Why as the time goes by
You learn the what and the how but not why
Why you want me just to rely
I check the proof I know the truth it won't lie
What you do
'Cause they did what they did
Can you think out the box or just snap to the grid
Are lookin' on the surface or under the lid
Are you thinkin' or just following tradition
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
Everybody dancin' to the same drum
No individual identity anybody thinking like one
Guess next break from tradition that's imperative
Come on you're going you're growing where's ya heritage
Right where ya thought it was hurts
Don't it of course it does
Violins play the truth like that fiddler on the roof
Think like you or think it through
I'm a choose the latter way
I go right they go Sunday I go Saturday
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
If you know it's all tradition why you knocking on wood
Halloween trick o treatin' can that evil be good
Why when you pray to God you gotta close your eyes
If you knew he was going to propose why you acting surprised
Why you got on a roller coaster when you scared of heights
And if you did it before the wedding why you modeling white
If the theory ain't scientific why they teach it in school
Right now you bopping ya head I know why so do you
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
Jump in
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up tied it up
They gotch dancin' to the drum
Caught in tradition
It's time to breakaway and run
Break from tradition
When they tell ya jump ya jump
You don't need permission
You wrapped up you tied up
Permission
