Lyrics
[Intro]
Modern people tend to dance
With this music I'll put you in a trance
Hahaha, now dance
[Instrumental]
The music of life spreads within
And from the rhythm came the king
And from this new day dawns the light
And now the light shines bright, dance
[Chorus]
Children grow, some women produce
Some men, they work and some steal
Everybody's got to make a livin'
The time will come, my friends
And we'll all be together 'til the end
[Verse 1]
Well, feel the connection of the bassline
Movin', it flows and glides like light
It shines so very bright
And that way we'll move and be out of sight
Some people have tried and tried before
Well, with this rhythm, I'll give you much more
Dance
I'll put you all in a trance
Children grow, women produce
Some men work and some may fool
But through these objections we find in our lives
A clearer day, the darkest night
[Chorus]
Oh, children grow, some women produce
Some men, they work and some steal
Everybody's got to make a livin'
The time has come, my friends
And we'll be together 'til the end
[Verse 2]
Well, feel the music move you and dance
I'll put you all in a trance
Feel the endless flow the hypnotic rhythms control
Their inner-life, the soul, the fire enraged in you
And that way we'll come together and multiply
Well, now dance
[Chorus]
Children grow, some women produce
Some men, they work and some steal
Everybody's got to make a livin'
The time has come, my friends
And now we're together 'til the end
