Rhythm Nation

Great Challenge - love the music. I just clicked random and up popped Janet Jackson. The words just are what they are - no apologies or re-writing.

Bass, Bass, bass, bass

Drums

Aw…aw…aw.

Keep repeating

Like someone unexpectedly grabbed you.

People of the world today

Are we living for a better way of life?

In uniform, she sang

Of uniformity.

Break the colour lines

People of the world unite.

The words still give me hope

As they march and salute.

It’s time to give a damn

Let’s work together.

She could have said that yesterday

So far ahead of the game

Take a break

Bass, bass, bass, bay-bay-b-bass

And still

I hear

Aw…aw…aw…

Sing it if you want a better way of life

Drums

Like a marching band

We are part of the Rhythm Nation

Get it right one time

Are we looking for a better way of life?

Are we?

Or was that just then

When we had a rhythm in the nation?
