Just hanging out on the corner

just watching the world go by

we're just looking for our place to fit in

find our seat on the love train

our place in the food chain

or at least a spot out of the rain

but today the sun is shinning

I feel it just might be our time to step into the sunshine

all the phoney cheek kisses the well wishes

and face dismisses

they keep calling us generation x, y and z

hell we're almost out of the whole alphabet

and we've barely reached the year 2000


(chorus)

We can dance

we can dance

we can dance

we can dance

we can dance

we can romance



Like groove to the hips

like smooth to the lips

like sugar in the mix

like butter to fingertips


There ain't no war against drugs

there ain't even a war against crime

there's just a war against us

the peace lovin' folks the truth loving folks

just trying to make it through life

with cop shows and rescue shows 

rating prime time number one

commercial market fun when all is said and done

but you see we all just human beings

they may have the power to take some of our rights away

but they can't give us what we've already got


(chorus)


Now matter how hard they try to hate us

they can't keep us all separated

black, white, brown, asian, caucasian, porto rican, dominican, mexican

we all come from the same heart

the same quarter the same zone

we like to get on down


(chorus)
