Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody wants happiness
Everybody wants peace of mind
Everybody says we should ignore
The graves we dance upon
But I've really got news for you
There's no amount of dancing we can do
That will ban the bomb
Feed the starving children
Bring justice and equality to you and me
No amount of dancin' is gonna make us free, yeah
[Verse 2]
Gather 'round the riots, children
Everybody wants to dance
Gather 'round the murders
And be free, yeah
Gather 'round, breath of light
This could be your only chance
To be in touch with your own humanity, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Everybody wants happiness
Everybody wants peace of mind
Everybody says we should ignore
The graves we dance upon
But I've really got news for you
There's no amount of dancing we can do
That will ban the bomb
Feed the starving children
Bring justice and equality to you and me
No amount of dancin', yeah
Is gonna make us free, uh-huh
[Outro]
We can never ban the bomb
We can't feed the starving children
Bring justice and equality to you and me
No amount of dancin'
No amount of dancin's gonna make us free, yeah
We can't ban the bomb
Or feed the starving children
Or bring justice and equality to you and me
No amount of dancin'
Is gonna make us free
We can't ban the bomb
We can't feed the starving children
Can't bring justice and equality to you and me
No amount of dancin'
