Story Behind The Song

The chorus of the song is a picture of a city with war, explosions, bombs going off, and while that's happening just having a party in the thick of it, singing and dancing as everything is burning down.

Song Description

This is a song about ignoring the politics and war, and grabbing your girl to dance in the streets.

Lyrics

news tricks, and it's pick up sticks, you gotta
drop your mortar bricks, pick up chicks
the city's burn burn burnin down
everybody gather round and
dance dance dance the night away

move the troops to the nearest bar, and I
know a place and it ain't too far
if you're snoozin then you're losing
in the battle jeeep we're cruisin'
in a trance we're gonna dance the night away

[chorus]
when the bombs are falling down
I'll take your hand and hold you tight
sing na na na, na na na na
and give you a smile
we'll sing and dance and kiss and love
as the scenery ignites
sing na na na, na na na na
we'll be alright

rocking out as the rockets shout, it's time to
hit the ground, go ahead get down
strap up tight, yell into the night
and wave goodbye to the plane in the sky

another fight at another time, instead ya
push play, then stop, rewind - grab a
nurse with a purse, then go back to the verse
shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

when the bombs are falling down
I'll take your hand and hold you tight
sing na na na, na na na na
and give you a smile
we'll sing and dance and kiss and love
as the scenery ignites
sing na na na, na na na na
we'll be alright

you gotta fight fight fight
no not tonight
you gotta fight fight fight
no it's not right
fight fight fight
not another time
fight fight fight
I just want to love
