Lyrics Dancing With My Daughter - John and Betty

DANCING WITH MY DAUGHTER

The earth is trembling somewhere
Volcanoes boom, tackling planes on the ground
Economies collapse as we still claim for our pensions
In the streets
False prophets announce the end of the world
In 2012 if we don't change the way we live
If we don't understand, rich or poor, we'll finish
In the streets
I can't escape fear and anger
But this morning, I've been dancing with my daughter

TV counts the number of dead people each day,
Mothers cry for hunger as children die in their arms
People are begging for a harvest outside
In the streets
I can't avoid sadness and sorrow
But I've been joking with Annie on the phone tonight

English politics sinking in the Thames
Beef and veggies poisoning my blood
Silent factories pushing job seekers
In the streets
I can't get out of ageing and sicknesses
But I've been writing a song with my love in the couch today

I can't escape fear and anger
But this morning, I've been dancing with my daughter
I can't escape fear and anger
But this morning, I've been dancing with my daughter

We cannot save the world today but
Let's try at least to save our souls
