	How can you resist a title like this? Political pop with a beat. 2nd demo song from the archives; future uploads will be fresh works.
	Story Behind the Song This one came from the incongruity of watching people dance in clubs to songs like U2's "Sunday, Bloody Sunday". Once the title came to me, the rest was easy. Lyrics Children in the country, all they know is war Their mothers try to hold them, protect them from the scars Tell it to the soldiers, who hunger for a fight But hold off when they party, every Friday night Criticize the generals, turn up the heat Chastise the rebels, and put it to a beat The politicians argue, they want another chance But tell it to the people, all they wanna do is dance Dancing to death and destruction Moving to the ultimate seduction Dancing to the power and the glory of the kill Moving to the fire and the fury of the thrill [repeat] The experts on the left, and the experts on the right Debate the consequences of another country's plight We get the daily footage of the carnage on TV But it doesn't matter when we tune out what we see [solo] [chorus] A singer hears the story, thinks he knows what's wrong Conceives a quick solution, and writes a catchy song Then he made a video, you see it all the time Now he's making millions off of other people's crimes (Dancing to death and destruction) [repeat 3 more times] [chorus to fadout]
