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)
