they're pickin up the prisoners, and putin' em in a pen
and all she wants to do is dance, dance
rebels been rebels, since i don't know when
and all she wants to do is dance
molotov cocktail, the local drink
and all she wants to do is dance, dance
mix em up right in the kitchen sink
and all she wants to do is dance
crazy people walkin' round, with blood in their eyes
and all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
wild-eyed pistol-wavers who ain't afraid to die
and all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance ...and make romance

she can't feel the heat, comin' off the street
she wants to party, she wants to get down
all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance

well the government bugged the men's room, the local disco lounge
and all she wants to do is dance, dance
to keep the boys from sellin' all the weapons they could scrounge
and all she wants to do is dance
yeah but that don't keep the boys from makin' a buck or two
and all she wants to do is dance, dance
they still can sell the army all the drugs that they can do
and all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance ... and make romance

well we barely made the airport for the last plane out
as we taxied down the runway, i could hear the people shout
they said "don't come back here, yankee"
but if i ever do, i'll make more money
cause all she wants to do is dance ...and make romance
never mind the heat, comin' off the street
she wants to party, she wants to get down
all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance ...and make romance
all she wants to do is dance
