Dancing In The Capital
Revolutionary Beats: Dancing Amidst Political Chaos
Lyrics
I'm not going to be an optimist no!
I refuse to adopt an optimistic outlook.
I'm not going to be a pessimist no!
I refuse to adopt a pessimistic outlook.
When the leaders who lead us don't know where to go
Leaders guiding us are directionless.
From their SUV's and their private plane
Leaders are detached in their SUVs and planes.
They cannot see the common man
They are oblivious to the struggles of the common man.
Puppets on strings made to enjoy the show
Common people are like puppets, mere spectators.
When the DJ plays their song
When the DJ plays their preferred music.
All their promises are gone
Political promises vanish when the music starts.
When a bottle of brandy makes them all forget their country
Alcohol erases memories of patriotism.
We will all sing along
People unite in singing along.
Oh! They're dancing in the capital
A sarcastic remark about festivities in the capital.
How can this be about a revolution? No!
Rejecting the idea that this is a revolutionary situation.
We're waiting in line for a solution? Oh!
Waiting in anticipation for a solution.
When death becomes an answer
Questioning the purpose when death is an option.
What are we living for
Reflecting on life's purpose.
With holes in their hearts and holes in their pockets
People have emotional and financial voids.
Living in the skies
Metaphorically living above the common struggles.
Flying above it
Escaping reality and searching for answers.
Searching for an answer that nobody knows
The elusive search for an unknown answer.
When the DJ plays their song
Reiteration of the impact of DJ's music.
All their promises are gone
Political promises disappear during the music.
When a bottle of brandy makes them all forget their country
Alcohol-induced forgetfulness of patriotism.
We will all sing along
People unite again in singing along.
Oh! They're dancing in the capital
Sarcastically highlighting celebrations in the capital.
