All She Wants to do is Dance Don Henley (1984) They're pickin' up the prisoners and puttin' 'em in a pen And all she wants to do is dance, dance Rebels been rebels since I don't know when And all she wants to do is dance Molotov cocktail- the local drink And all she wants to do is dance, dance Crazy people walkin' round with blood in their eyes And all she wants to do is dance, dance Wild-eyed pistol wavers who ain't afraid to die And all she wants to do is- All she wants to do is dance and make romance She can't feel the heat comin' off the street She wants to party She wants to get down All she wants to do is- All she wants to do is dance Well, the government bugged the men's room in the local disco lounge And all she wants to do is dance, dance To keep the boys from sellin' all the weapons they could scrounge And all she wants to do is dance But that don't keep the boys from makin' a buck or two And all she wants to do is dance, dance They still can sell the army all the drugs that they can do And all she wants to do is- All she wants to do is dance and make romance Well we barely made the airport for the last plane out As we taxied down the runway I could hear the people shout They said "Don't come back here Yankee" But if I ever do- I'll bring more money 'Cause all she wants to do is dance and make romance Never mind the heat comin' off the street She wants to party She wants to get down All she wants to do is- All she wants to do is dance All she wants to do is dance and make romance All she wants to do is dance

Allentown Billy Joel 1982 Well we're living here in Allentown And they're closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time Filling out forms Standing in line Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers in the USO Asked them to dance Danced with them slow And we're living here in Allentown But the restlessness was handed down And it's getting very hard to stay Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real Iron and coke And chromium steel And we're waiting here in Allentown But they've taken all the coal from the ground And the union people crawled away Every child had a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got But something happened on the way to that place They threw an American flag in our face Well I'm living here in Allentown And it's hard to keep a good man down But I won't be getting up today And it's getting very hard to stay And we're living here in Allentown

Sunday, Bloody Sunday U2 (1983) Yes... I can't believe the news today Oh, I can't close my eyes And make it go away How long... How long must we sing this song How long, how long... 'cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight... Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up Puts my back up against the wall Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters Torn apart Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday How long... How long must we sing this song How long, how long... 'cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight...tonight... Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV reality And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) The real battle just begun To claim the victory Jesus won On... Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday...

Born in the USA Bruce Springsteen (1984) Born down in a dead man’s town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up Born in the USA, I was born in the u.s.a. I was born in the USA, born in the u.s.a. Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the USA.... Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said son if it was up to me Went down to see my VA man He said son, don’t you understand I had a brother at Khe Sahn Fighting off the Viet Cong They’re still there, he’s all gone He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms now Down in the shadow of the penitentiary Out by the gas fires of the refinery I’m ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run ain’t got nowhere to go Born in the USA, I was born in the USA, Born in the USA I’m a long gone daddy in the USA Born in the USA, born in the USA Born in the USA, I’m a cool rocking daddy in the USA
