You Might As Well Dance

Music by Andrew Potter
Lyrics by Wheeler Cole
©2019 Cole/Potter Music

woke up thinking … the world’s sinking
and things ain’t going well
The sun’s still shining … so I ain’t whining 
about a world going to Hell

in the city … things ain’t pretty
Congress is full of clowns
in this fresh air … I don’t despair 
as the ship is going down

sneaking across the frozen lake
trying not to make it crack
if you fall through … lights out for you
but you gotta take the chance
so you might as well dance.

bad mechanic…  on the Titianic.
duct tape just won’t do
trying to plug the leaking … while the crew are freakin
the life boats leave without you

if you scurry … it’s hard to worry 
about things that you don’t know
listen to voices … who make choices
based on a reality show

sneaking across the frozen lake
trying not to make it crack
if you fall through … it’s curtains for you 
but you gotta take the chance
so you might as well dance

watch as the politicians prance
so you might as well Dance

where’s our savior … from bad behavior?
I got me and mine!
they can suture … up our future.
in our grandchildren’s time
