ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION - Journey lyrics

rate me

Written by: das, pandit, savale, zaman<br><br>Take the long train to bombay<br>Duck as the tunnels came<br>Tune in your crystal set<br>You've won the freedom to forget<br>You've won the freedom to forget<br><br>Feeling good migrations<br>Tuned in to the mother nation<br>Taking her aim<br>Changing your name<br><br>Now we're nomads<br>That stay in one place<br>Not a country<br>Not a face<br>Standing out but still like ghosts<br>Long-term guests<br>Ungracious hosts<br>Re-written history<br>A sleepy slavery<br>Those sweet sweet sweet machines<br>Senfling, selling<br>Good migrations<br>Tuned in to the mother nation<br>Taking her aim<br>Rearranging the chains ....<br><br>The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white<br>Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride<br>Hostile environments along the way<br>A slowly changing landscape<br>But a steady stream of consciousness rising<br>A steady stream of consciousness rising<br><br>This is the journey from loneliness to pride<br>No longer any need to hide ....<br><br>Struggle to live<br>And we cry struggle to survive<br>Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla<br>Just to stay alive<br>In the jungle you either do or you die<br>You got to be aware<br>You got to have the jungle eye ....
