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 |
