I saw my problems and I’ll see the light 
We got a lovin’ thing, we gotta feed it right 
There ain’t no danger we can go too far 
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are - grease is the word 

They think our love is just a growin’ pain 
Why don’t they understand? It’s just a cryin’ shame 
Their lips are lyin’, only real is real 
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel - grease is the word 

(Grease is the word, is the word that you heard) 
It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning 
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion 
Grease is the way we are feeling 

We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday 
There is a chance that we can make it so far 
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are - grease is the word 

This is a life of illusion, a life of control 
Mixed with confusion - what’re we doin’ here? 

We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday 
There is a chance that we can make it so far 
We start believin’ now that we can be who we are - grease is the word
