Teach That Girl to Dance Lyrics by Civilian

Should This Noose Unloosen

0

We were in a field
Looking at headstones
Making up stories and autobiographical songs
Some we made rich men
Some we made gods
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 leaders (our leaders)
We gave 'em our sons (our sons)
They loved us as children (?)
Someone ought 'ta teach these kids to dance
'lest they forget what it is to live
Someone ought 'ta teach these kids to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach these kids to dance)
'lest they forget what a gift it is
Someone ought 'ta teach these kids to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach these kids to dance)
'lest they forget what it is to live
(teach these kids to dance)
She was in a new world
They build her a box
And show her the floorplan and sociopolitical walls
Enjoy the progress, (?)
(?) the west (?)
And make us all successful (successful)
Well, this, our god of insurrection
Stands opposed to the populace
This, our god of insurrection
Won't be sleeping in
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance)
'lest she miss what a dream she
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to move her feet)
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance)
'lest she forget what a dream she is
(teach that girl to dance)
This icon of insurrection
Stands opposed to the populace
With eyes wide open
Her arms wide open
Eyes wide open
Her arms wide open
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance)
'lest she miss what a dream she
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to move her feet)
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
'lest she forget what a dream she is
(teach she believe she's a part of something)
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance)
'lest she miss what a dream she
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to move her feet)
Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance
(Someone ought 'ta teach that girl to dance)
'lest she forget what a dream she is
(teach that girl to dance)
Woah-oh-oh
