Lyrics for Song: Dance Called America 
Lyrics for Album: Heartland [1985]
  
               
  12856>The landlords came
  The peasant trials
  To sacrifice of men
  Through the past and that quite darkly
  The presence once again
  In the name of capital
  Establishment
  Improvers, it's a name
  The hidden truths
  The hidden lies
  That once nailed you
  To the pain
 
 
  They did a dance
  Called America
  They danced it 'round
  And waited at the turns
  For America
  They danced their ladies 'round
 
 
  To the candles
  Of enlightenment
  Once lit they say don't burn
  To turn the darkest room of suffering
  To a greater state of pain
  Don't tell me that's behind you now
  Don't greet me
  Don't meet your dying blind
  It's our very last stand together
  So let's sever
  No regrets
 
 
  They did a dance
  Called America
  They danced it 'round
  And waited at the turns
  For America
  They danced their ladies 'round
 
 
  There were days
  That once held confidence
  Strength of will and mind
  The camouflage that once washed your fathers
  Your sons and daughters time
 
 
  Another tongue
  My love, my island
  You've gone international
  With all the praying men of God
  Who stood
  And watched it all go on
 
 
  They did a dance
  Called America
  They danced it 'round
  And waited at the turns
  For America
  They danced their ladies 'round
