Dancing Shoes Lyrics by Archie Roach

The Concert Collection 2012-2018: Into the Bloodstream

2018

Don't talk about justice
Cause I don't know what it means
Don't talk about freedom
Freedom in my dreams

Don't you know I've been dragged around
Kicked around, pushed around and put down
But I'm standing, oh and I'm still here

Don't talk about learning
You took away my school
Turned out the lights
Made me act the fool

Don't you know that I've analysed
Theorised, intellectualised, institutionalised
But I'm standing, oh and I'm still here

Don't let it get to you
That's what it wants to do
Look out, we're coming through
So everyone put on your dancing shoes

Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes

And I know I'm not alone
And it makes me feel so strong
Gives me strength to carry on
Gives me strength to carry on

Don't talk about security
It seems so far
Don't talk about rights
Cause I don't know what they are

Don't you know I've been dragged outta bed
Kicked in the head, arrested, I've been misled
But I'm standing, oh and I'm still here

So don't let it get to you
That's what it wants to do
Look out, we're coming through
So everyone put on your dancing shoes

Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes
Your dancing shoes
