A Celebration Lyrics
[Intro]
Shake! Shake!
[Verse 1]
Don't go!
I believe in a celebration
I believe you can set me free
I believe you can loose these chains
I believe you can dance with me, dance with me
Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!
[Verse 2]
I believe in the Third World War
I believe in the atomic bomb
I believe in the powers-that-be
But they won't overpower me
[Hook]
And you can go there too
And you can go, go, go, go!
Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!
[Verse 3]
And we dance out of time
And everything goes round and round
And we don't have the time
To watch the world go tumbling down
Shake! Shake!
[Verse 1]
Don't go!
I believe in a celebration
I believe you can set me free
I believe you can loose these chains
I believe you can dance with me, dance with me
Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!
[Verse 2]
I believe in the Third World War
I believe in the atomic bomb
I believe in the powers-that-be
But they won't overpower me
[Hook]
And you can go there too
And you can go, go, go, go!
Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!
[Verse 3]
And we dance out of time
And everything goes round and round
And we don't have the time
To watch the world go tumbling down
[Verse 4]
Don't go!
I believe in the bells of Christchurch
Ringing for this land
I believe in the cells of Mountjoy
There's an honest man
[Verse 5]
And you can go there too
And you can go, go, go, go!
I believe in the walls of Jericho
I believe they're coming down
I believe in this city's children
I believe the trumpet's sound
And you can go there too
And you can go, go, go, go
I believe in what I'm doing
What am I doing here
Don't go!
I believe in the bells of Christchurch
Ringing for this land
I believe in the cells of Mountjoy
There's an honest man
[Verse 5]
And you can go there too
And you can go, go, go, go!
I believe in the walls of Jericho
I believe they're coming down
I believe in this city's children
I believe the trumpet's sound
And you can go there too
And you can go, go, go, go
I believe in what I'm doing
What am I doing here
