we gather here to dance and play
through the night until the dawn of a new day,
sweating out our anger, singing to soothe our pain, drowning our sorrow
in a sea of joy and laughter,
forgetting for an hour
but we both know
that real change comes from action,
and depends more on what we do when we wake up tomorrow.
can't sit there with our asses glued
to a couch in front of our television
pacified in this position
entertainment to hold us in submission
