ME? I'm HERE To DANCE!

© 2001 Jesse Slokum

Down in the Flatlands, "wilding" on the streets,
No one owns where they live, it's all in "fat" hands,
Even cops on their Beats dream of what they would give
To rule their own roost, with grease for the palms,
Give themselves a boost, cities have become bombs,
Cities have become bombs,

Divide & conquer, just like days of old!
Divide & conquer, when slaves were bought and sold!

Over on the hill, they can see roof tops
But they can't see the Pain, driving through in cars,
With burglar proof tops, surveying their domain.
White picket fence dream, still walls out the rest.
When will such a scheme be put to the TEST?
Will it get put to the test?

Divide & conquer, just like days of old!
Divide & conquer, when slaves were bought and sold!


But, me and my baby live out in-between
You will not find us on ANY road MAP
As rich as you may be, you can't BUY this scene
We left WAR behind us, Left war behind US
So free yourself from the TRAP!


If you're too big or too small, too thin, or too fat
I hear bosses whisper, no one gives you a call.
Too this, or too that, wins, losses, his or her,
Own choice runs the show, life and death depends
More on who you know, means become the ends,
Means have become the ends...

Divide & conquer, just like days of old!
Divide & conquer, when slaves were bought and sold!

Out in the alley, pushed back out of sight,
From the luxury suite, you die, or rally
Your spirit for the night, or day of fireball heat
Our souls are quickening, past all the foment,
Live in the flickering, of each new moment!
Of each new moment, of each new moment!

Divide & conquer, hasn't got a chance!
Divide & conquer? Hey, I'm here to dance
Hey, I'm here to dance, Hey, I'm here to dance,


Yes, me and my baby live out in-between
You will not find us, will not find us
You will not find us on ANY road MAP

We left WAR behind us, left war behind US
We left WAR behind us, so free yourself,
So free yourself, free yourself from the TRAP!
We left WAR behind us, left war behind US
We left WAR behind us, so free yourself,
To be yourself, free yourself From the TRAP!
