Dancing Shoes (demo) Songtext
von Archie Roach

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

Don′t you know I've been dragged around
Kicked around, pushed around and put down?
But I′m standing (don't talk about it)
Oh, and I′m still here

Don't talk about learning (don′t talk about it)
You took away my school
Turned out the lights (don't talk about it)
Made me act the fool

Don't you know that I′ve analyzed
Theorized, intellectualized, institutionalized?
But I′m standing (don't talk about it)
Oh, and I′m still here


Don't let it get to you, no
That′s what it wants to do
Look out, we're coming through
So everybody put on your dancing shoes

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

And I know I′m not alone (I know)
And it makes me feel so strong (yeah)
Gives me strength to carry on
Gives me strength to carry on

Don't talk about security (don't talk about it)
Oh, it seems so far
Don′t talk about rights (don′t talk about it)
'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 (don't talk about it)
Oh, and I'm still here


So don′t let it get to you, no
That′s what it wants to do
Look out, we're coming through
So everybody put on your dancing shoes

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