Dance! On Command!

from Under City Lights by John Nels

/

lyrics

Be proud- of the id we've come to know
It's not so easy when you've got a lot of reaping to sew
Made a list- of enemies gained here and there
Gotta smile when they notice; not so much when they don't care
Gotta smile if they notice; whenever and anywhere

Parade around, mr. sideshow
Comfort us per oral demand
Dance the dance for entertainment
Dance the dance on command
Dance the dance on command

Tap them feet- keep relative harmony
Got a feeling that the limelight won't keep your seat
Playing the circuit is playing the circus
Elastic men with rubber hands extend their reach
Sketchy men with dirty hands; remember what they preach
Silence isn't gold
Violence shakes the hold
Persistence is the key
Persistence let's them free
