Dancing Shoes Songtext
von Archie Roach

Don′t talk about justice
Cause I don't know what it means
Don′t talk about freedom
Freedom in my dreams
Don't you know I've been dragged around
Kicked around pushed around and put down
But I′m standing oh and I′m still here
Don't talk about learning
You took away my school

Turned out the lights
Made me act the fool
Don′t you know that I've analysed
Theorised intellectualised institutionalised
But I′m standing oh and I'm still here
Don′t let it get to you
That's what it wants to do
Look out we're coming through
So everyone put on your dancing shoes


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

And I know I′m not alone
And it makes me feel so strong
Gives me strength to carry on
Gives me strength to carry on
Don′t talk about security
It seems so far
Don't talk about rights
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 oh and I'm still here
So don't let it get to you
That′s what it wants to do
Look out we′re coming through
So everyone put on your dancing shoes

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