They're pickin' up the prisoners And puttin' '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 They 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
