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