Song Description

The dangers of following trends blindly. Also the importance of independent thinking.

Lyrics

Dance Driven
Words and Music by Gary Wollman

COUNTLESS VOICES KEEP POUNDING IN MY BRAIN
I MAY BE WASTIN MY TIME BUT I'M REALLY
MYUCH TOO BUSY MOVING MY PELVIS TO EXPLAIN
WHY I DON'T COMPLAIN
YO THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE - ME
WHO WANTS TO SHARE SOME VIEWS WITH YOU
WHOSE AIM IS SINCERE AND TRUE
WITH IDEAS BOTH OLD AND NEW
DON'T YOU TELL ME TO GIVE UP
I'D LIKE TO BUT I KNOW TOO WELL
THE FEELING OF THE BLUES
AND IF PEOPLE LIKE ME DON'T START TALKIN' UP PEACE
WELL THEN SOON WE'LL ALL BE THROUGH

I'M DANCE DRIVEN SO DEEP IN MOTION
IDON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
DANCE DRIVEN TRIPPIN' OUT IN A TRANCE OF DEVOTION
WHAT WAS ONCE A GAME NOW JUST WON'T GO AWAY
KEEP TO THE BEAT KICK IN THE PHYSICAL HEAT
HEY HEY HEY I' M TALKIN' TO YOU
WHILE YOU'RE ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE RHYTHM
YOU'RE MAKIN' A DECISION TO MOVE
WITHOUT A CLUE
DANCE DRIVEN

THE HOLLYWOODS OF THE WORLD MAKE MONEY CHEAP
AT THE CHILDREN'S EXPENSE
WITH THE MILLIONS THEY'RE MAKING
AND THEIR DAMN PROFIT TAKING
THEY SHOULD BE MAKDE TO PAY CHILDREN'S DEFENSE
THAT'S JUST GOOD COMMON SENSE
BUT GO ON DANCIN
TO YOUR METAL, POP, CLUB MUSIC OR RAP
DON'T MATTER YO CAUSE SOONER OR LATER
ASA A MATTER OF FACT WE CAN ALL GET ZAPPED

WHAT DO YOU USE? R&B OR LIGHTMUSIC TO SOOTHE
SOME DO IT TO THE TUBE SOME USE THE WALKMAN
ARE YOU BEING BRAINWASHED
BY JUST ONE POINT OF VIEW JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO OFTEN

I'M DANCE DRIVEN SO DEEP IN MOTION
IDON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
DANCE DRIVEN TRIPPIN' OUT IN A TRANCE OF DEVOTION
WHAT WAS ONCE A GAME NOW JUST WON'T GO AWAY
KEEP TO THE BEAT KICK IN THE PHYSICAL HEAT
HEY HEY HEY I' M TALKIN' TO YOU
WHILE YOU'RE ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE RHYTHM
YOU'RE MAKIN' A DECISION TO MOVE
WITHOUT A CLUE
DANCE DRIVEN

BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO THE GREAT EPOSE
YOU CAN THINK OF SPIKE LEE IN SCHOOL DAZE
SAME DIFFERENCE BUT DIG IT ONLY BIGGER
ON A GLOBAL SCALE
PEOPLE CHOOSIN' TO DIVIDE
PROGRAMMED TO FAIL IN
WHAT WE DO HOW WE PRAY
WHAT WE DRINK: GINGER ALE, TEA, BEER, WINE
WHAT DO YOU THINK
ARE WE REALLY MAKING THE MOST OF OUR TIME

DANCE DRIVEN
WHAT ONCE WAS GOD GIVEN
GOD FORGIVE THEM
MAKE THE DECISION
TO END THE DIVISION
NOT JUST FOR TELEVISION
BUT ENVISION ENVISION ENVISION

WHAT YOUSEE IS WHAT WILL BE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT WILL BE

LOOK AT ME
LOOK AT ME NOW
I JUST CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT ME

ARE YOU LOST TO THE RHYTHM OR ARE YOU USING SOME OF THAT WISDON

IF KEEPIN' TO THE BEAT WAS SUCH A FEAT
THEN WHY DON'T IT BUY YOU SHOES
BT YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING TO ME
YOU'RE IN YOUR OWN WORLD YOU CAN'T HEAR A WORD I SAY
LOST INSIDE THE GROOVE

WITH THE MESSAGE YOU CHOOSE
YOU'RE ABOUT TO LOSE
HAVE YOU BEN PAYIN' YOUR DUES
OR ARE YOU JUST ALONE AFRAID AND QUITE CONFUSED

I'M DANCE DRIVEN SO DEEP IN MOTION
IDON'T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
DANCE DRIVEN TRIPPIN' OUT IN A TRANCE OF DEVOTION
WHAT WAS ONCE A GAME NOW JUST WON'T GO AWAY
KEEP TO THE BEAT KICK IN THE PHYSICAL HEAT
HEY HEY HEY I' M TALKIN' TO YOU
WHILE YOU'RE ALL CAUGHT UP IN THE RHYTHM
YOU'RE MAKIN' A DECISION TO MOVE
WITHOUT A CLUE
DANCE DRIVEN

GET THE MESSAGE WHILE YOU CAN
BUT DON'T FORGET WHAT I'M SAYING
COMPARED TO WHAT YOU'VE BEEN PAYIN'
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET

AM I GETTIN' THROUGH TO YOU?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MUSIC CAN DO FOR YOU?
OR ARE YOU JUST LOST IN THE RHYTHM
