Gogol Bordello - Oh No lyrics

rate me

Sometimes when facing common trouble

When whole town is screwed

We become actually human

Act like Prometheus would

Suddenly there is more humor

And a party tabor style

People ringing one another

"Yo man, how was your blackout?"

Suddenly there is more music

Made with the buckets in the park

Girls are dancing with the flashlights

I got only one guitar!

And you see brothers and sisters

All engaged in sport of help

Making merry out of nothing

Like in refugee camp

Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so

It is possible any time anywhere

Even without any dough

Oh yeah Oh no, it doesn't have to be so

Forces of the creative mind are unstoppable!

And you think, All right, now people

They have finally woked up

But as soon as the trouble over

Watch them take another nap

Nobody is making merry

Only trotting scared of boss

Everybody's making hurry

For some old forgotten cause

But one thing is surely eternal

It's condition of a man

Who don't know where he is going

Who don't know where does he stand

Who's dream power is corked bottle

Put away in dry dark place

Who's youth power is well buried

Under propaganda waves

Who's dream life is in opposition

With the life he leads today

Who's beaten down in believing

It just kinda goes this way!

Oh no, it doesn't have to be so

Forces of the creative mind are unstoppable!
