When I think of the aggression that the world hands out to me
She simply smiles and the world wants to dance with me
When I sink into depression thinking I'll never get free
She simply laughs and the world wants to dance with me
Dance with the neighbor who parks in my car space
And dance with the builder who drills walls at dawn
Dance with the land lord who won't fix the plumbing
And dance with the drunks leaving cans on my lawn
In the clutches of injustice and the way it makes you feel
She simply smiles and the world wants to dance with me
In the moment of atonement underneath somebody's heel
She simply laughs and the world wants to dance with me
Dance with the fool who cuts in while you're driving
And dance with the loser who runs up your rear
Dance with the thieves at that idiot's insurance
Then dance with the lawyer who bleeds you for years
Dance with the parking inspector who books you
And dance with the shrew at the phone company
Dance with the girl at the tollbooth who's getting revenge
For the way life has destroyed her dreams
Dance with the girl filled with gossip and envy
And dance with the girl who believes she's divine
Dance with the bully whose father abused him
And dance with a world that is suddenly mine...
She simply smiles and the world wants to dance with me
