To Be A Dancer (I'm Alive)

It's all dead energies in this town.
It's all pedantry and pedigree in this town.
I needed an answer. I needed a song.
I want to be a dancer when the music comes on.
It's all stagnancy in this town.
It's all pageantry and monopoly in this town.
It's all hierarchy in this town.
It's all self-defeat, there's no poetry in this town.
I am alive.
I can call your fake (I needed an anthem)
and I can give your take (I needed a song)
and I am here and brave (I want to go dancing)
and you're going to want me someday (when the music comes on).
I am alive. Raise your flag, it's do or die now.
