INXS – Dancing On The Jetty lyrics
Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

We could sit here forever
Just never get old
Listen to the world
Letting God's tyres down

Hit cities, sharp nights
Rag clothing
Dancing on the jetty

So our feet stay dry

Watch the world argue
Argue with themselves
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Blood is upon the steps
Two thousand years ago
Pray like hell then we go to fight
Another war in a holy land

Shot the world
True story
Snap decision
In a moment's glory

We're gonna watch them keeping it strong

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

We're making trouble
We change tracks
Fool the system
Take time to take notice

Hit city
Sharp nights
Rag clothing
Dancing on the Jetty

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

Watch the world argue
Argue with itself
Who's going to teach me
Peace and happiness

    This song is even more true today than when it was recorded back in the early '80s.The world arguing more now than ever before. The dangers in the middle east. Korea, China. I don't quite get the verse "Dancing on the Jetty", but if it means that even while the world is dangerous. Most just go about our lives care free like dancing on a peer and watching the fireworks around us. INXS made many tunes that were about world affairs, this is just one that was true then but more today than he could have ever vision.
