Teach That Girl to Dance |
| We were in a field looking at headstones |
| Making up stories and autobiographical songs |
| Some we made rich men, some we made gods |
| To some we gave power |
| And the rest were like us |
| We were in a cave with bones in our nose |
| We were notating history with paleolithical marks |
| We picked our leader and gave him our sons |
| They left us as children |
| And brought us all back clubs |
| Someone ought to teach these kids to dance |
| Lest the forget what it is to live |
| Someone ought to teach these kids to dance |
| Lest they miss what a gift it is |
| Someone ought to teach these kids to dance |
| Lest they forget what it is to live |
| She was in a New World |
| They built her a box |
| They showed her the floor plan and its sociopolitical walls |
| They told her that progress was a Bear and a Bull |
| That made their bed in the West and made us all successful |
| But this icon of insurrection stands opposed to the populace |
| This icon of insurrection won’t be sleeping in |
| Someone ought to teach that girl to dance |
| Lest she miss what a dream she is |
| Someone ought to teach that girl to dance |
| Lest she forget what a dream she is |
| This icon of insurrection stands opposed to the populace |
| With eyes wide open, her arms wide open |
