Teach That Girl to Dance

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 a gift it is

Someone ought 'ta teach these kids to dance
(Someone ought 'ta 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

Stands opposed to the populace

Her arms wide open
