Nomads Revolt |
We go down to throw rocks at the river |
Curses at the parade |
Wedge a stone in the gears of the clockworks |
Try to keep us from acting our age |
Swore we’d carry on like this forever |
'til the free spirits fled |
Now can you believe who’s a mother |
And that so-and-so's cut of their dreads? |
Kill off Columbus and turn the world around |
After all the nomads are settling down |
Used to give most of the bread to a landlord |
Leave the crust for the squats |
Now the death wages we pay the bankers |
Seem to kill all the flies in one swat |
Hear the wedding band strike up a number |
Dear, they’re playing our song |
Hold your breath 'cause we’re gonna go under |
And the little ones singing along |
Kill off Columbus and turn the world around |
After all the nomads are settling down |
Kill off Columbus and turn the world around |
After all the nomads are settling down |
After all the nomads are settling down |
No way, not since so-and-so said he’d never change |
That he’d never grow |
He’d stay always on a roll |
From beside the trains |
Past the mossy stones |
Now there’s more hope than ever and it’s all falling down |
And the rebels are running for mayor in your hometown |
As the nomads are dropping their anchors |
Falling into the sea |
Now I’ve stopped throwing rocks at the river |
And you’ll find me a-swimming upstream |
There is power in unions of ramblers |
Who’ve got nothing to own |
But there’s more in one fist-swinging mother |
Swearing «My children shall never be sold» |
Kill off Columbus and turn the world around |
After all the nomads are settling down |
Kill off Columbus and turn the world around |
After all the nomads are settling down |
After all the nomads are settling down |
Out of the garden |
We multiply |
Telling our stories |
May all the old ways die! |
