What Can We Lose?
What Can We Lose?
There was another freeway chase today,
Oh, how the death toll mounts!
And ethnic cleansing in a place today
I'll be damned if I can pronounce.
There were massacres and bombing threats
And stalkers in the night;
Let's hide the goddamned TV sets
And hold each other tight.The world is frayed at the seams,
There's little joy and romance---
The media's killed all our dreams,
What can we lose if we dance?
What can we lose
If we chose
To forget about the world?
What can we lose
If we refuse
To fret about the world?
The news depresses and chills,
But music charms and enchants---
Let melody cure all our ills,
What can we lose if we dance?
So dance with me, my darling,
God gave us rhythm to use,
Come dance with me, my darling,
We've nothing to lose,
What can we lose
If we dance?
