Safety-dance!
Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance.
Dances!
Ah we can go when we want to the night is young and so am i
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
I say we can act if want to if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And i can act like an imbecile
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody takin' the chance
Safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance
Safety
Safety-dance
We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody's takin' the chance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh yes the safety dance
Oh the safety dance yeah
Oh it's the safety dance

Well it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance

Oh it's the safety dance
"The Safety Dance" by Countdown Singers is an upbeat and catchy song with a peculiar and often misunderstood message. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the idea that "we can dance if we want to," suggesting a desire for freedom and self-expression. The song presents a social scenario where the singer's friends don't dance, implying that they may be conforming to societal norms or perhaps lacking in spontaneity and adventurous spirit. The singer makes it clear that if their friends don't dance, then they are not considered friends at all, highlighting the importance of embracing individuality and non-conformity in relationships.
The lyrics also describe a desire to escape societal constraints and enter a world separate from the "real" one. This alternate world is portrayed as a place where they can act differently and be themselves without fear of judgment or limitation. The singer mentions dressing neatly, acting rude, and even being an "imbecile" to illustrate the freedom to express oneself without inhibition.
Overall, "The Safety Dance" can be interpreted as a call to embrace individuality, break free from societal expectations, and find joy in self-expression through dance. It serves as a reminder that true friends accept and encourage one another's uniqueness.
