Asian Dub Foundation - Journey lyrics
Your rating:
Written by: das, pandit, savale, zaman 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 ....
