"Madagascar”

So now you tell me you are living in a country
where joys and freedom they can not be tried
but alone in your mind there are so many rooms
that you never seem to find...
there is a room where your toolbox is waiting
but you just never go there when you are awake
when most of the time whatever that you look for
you could of just sit down and make
so do the right thing, just do the right thing
How can you do it if you are awake?!
Instead i scratch my forehead like Aladdin his lamp...

‘Cus even in Madagascar
we'll find some shack below radar
put two turntables and a film projector in that room
and punk rock ‘n’ roll most faithfully...
it will occure-cure-cure! ...cure cure cure!

Instead you run to your little birdfeeder
and stick your beak in the seeds your masters laid
where did they came from? Who put them in there?
Oh you will never know their name!
But there is a room where bustle and merry
and big ceremony could be going on,
where your true talents along with birthrights
could be dancing can-can!
so do the right thing, just do the right thing
How can you do it if you are awake?!
Instead i scratch my forehead like Aladdin his lamp...

‘Cus even in Madagascar...

we'll find some shack below radar
and even in Antarctica!
even in Azerbaijan!

Put two turntables and a film projector in that room
and punk rock ’n’ roll most faithfully...
it will occure-cure-cure! ...cure! cure! cure!
..and sewing machine too!

17/10/2006 - underdog world strike

underdog world strike

am a foreigner and i'm walking
through new streets
but before i want to i see the same deeds
inherited by few a power machine
that crushes you and strangles you
right in your sleep
but be it me, or it's you, the leisure class
i think we all know:
that be it punk, hip-hop, be it a reggae sound
it is all connected through
the gypsy part of town...
let's go!
it's the underdog world strike!
and let your girl scouts lip-synch
about the freedom
just the way you like them,
but soon enough you'll see them
soon enough they all turn around
and soon enough you'll see them
in a different part of town
but be it me, or it's you, the leisure class
i think we all know:
that be it punk, hip-hop, be it a reggae sound
it is all connected through
the gypsy part of town...
let's go!
it's the underdog world strike!
