"The Law Of The Dance" lyrics

Over in Africa there's a meeting of the tribal leaders
And one chief stands up and says
"There ain't nothing for young people to do any more 'round here
We have to return to the old ways again
When people would gather here in the villages
Generations, generations
Handing down the traditions of the dance"

It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the dance, it's the dance
It's the law

It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance

In a burned out crack shack
Warehouse in Queens Long Manhattan
Some kids have gathered in the middle of the night, yeah
With DJs and a big sound system
And minimal fuss
They gather here 'cause they wanna dance
It's a brand new world baby

Do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance, do your dance
It's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the dance
It's the law of the dance

We gotta dance away our troubles, yeah?

It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the law
It's the law of the dance
So do your dance, do your dance
Do your groovy little dance
Do the dance, do the dance
It's the law

It has no religion and it has no colour
No violence [?] sex
And it's the only thing keeping this crazy world from spinning apart

It's the dance, it's the dance
It's the law of the dance
It's the dance, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the dance
It's the law of the dance

Now listen, listen to this
Don't say your life is getting you down
You can do something about it
Dance away your blues
Get down on the street, come on, and put on your dancing shoes
Ha
That's what you gotta do
Dancing can change the world
Oh yeah

Reaching up, improve yourself
You can dance with everybody else
Reaching up, improve yourself
You can dance with everybody else
Reaching up, improve yourself
You can dance with everybody else
Reaching up, improve yourself
You can dance with everybody else

It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the law
It's the law of the dance
So do your dance, do your dance
Do your groovy little dance
Do the dance, do the dance
It's the law

It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
It's the law
It's the law of the dance
So do your dance, do your dance
Do your groovy little dance
Do the dance, do the dance
It's the law

It's the dance, it's the dance
It's the law of the dance
Oh yeah
It's the law, it's the law
It's the law of the dance
