Michael Franti & Spearhead
"We Can Dance"


Just hanging out on the corner
just watching the world go by
we're just looking for our place to fit in
find our seat on the love train
our place in the food chain
or at least a spot out of the rain
but today the sun is shinning
I feel it just might be our time to step into the sunshine
all the phoney cheek kisses the well wishes
and face dismisses
they keep calling us generation x, y and z
hell we're almost out of the whole alphabet
and we've barely reached the year 2000

(chorus)
We can dance
we can dance
we can dance
we can dance
we can dance
Lyricswe can romance


Like groove to the hips
like smooth to the lips
like sugar in the mix
like butter to fingertips

There ain't no war against drugs
there ain't even a war against crime
there's just a war against us
the peace lovin' folks the truth loving folks
just trying to make it through life
with cop shows and rescue shows
rating prime time number one
commercial market fun when all is said and done
but you see we all just human beings
they may have the power to take some of our rights away
but they can't give us what we've already got

(chorus)

Now matter how hard they try to hate us
they can't keep us all separated
black, white, brown, asian, caucasian, porto rican, dominican, mexican
we all come from the same heart
the same quarter the same zone
we like to get on down

(chorus)
