Slaves

can't control your laughter, or 'happily ever after'
and i cannot force you to try
but what you need to know is
that sometimes, you can't own this
it's just a flavor you've got to try

so take it right, then left, take it right then left

it's your job to enter, then strut up to the center
and turn around to face the crowd
they're all clapping for you,
they're all screaming for you
it's your job to please the crowd

reach down to the floor, dance a little more
we're all just slaves to a beat
hold your partner close, it pleases you the most
this rhythm you just can't defeat

ohh, right, then left, right then left

it's my job to enter, then strut up to the center
and turn around to face the crowd
they're all clapping for me,
they're all screaming for me
it's my job to please the crowd

after all the dreamings, the happily evers ceasing
you learn to play the game quite well

can't control the passion, it's never out of fashion
to play this style is first rate
but i frequently change tune, and i'll be free soon
this isn't quite my style to date

but are your hips moving gracefully?
do you even hear the melody?

it's my job to enter, then strut up to the center
and turn around to face the crowd
they're all clapping for me,
they're all screaming for me
it's my job to please the crowd
(repeat)
