- Track Name: Keep Cool
-
I´d rather be a fool, than a stingy man
I´d rather keep cool, than become a worried man
notice that burnin´ flame, inside of you
jealous since you don´t know when
you haven´t found yet what to do
waste your time wondering why, why, why
unable to stop pretending
it´s everybody´s fault, you fell fine like this?
made a good deal but not with the devil
keep cool
haughty when you walk by
find no amusement for you
hard job to make you smile
give up your bitter mood, feel the root skank
pull off that wry face, erase the mistrust
used to get bad taste, alone you will find yourself at last
made a good deal but not with the devil
cold hearted just freeze, your chest is a jailer
keep cool
I made up my mind
no petty resentment
the better I feel
the more I give, more I receive
grab the chance, join us for free
change the groove to keep…
keep cool, when we`re jammin´
keep cool, when we sit around the fire
keep cool, during night time
keep cool, when the sun is shining high - Track Name: Corrupted
-
CORRUPTED
corrupted, corrupted
whatever you do, corrupted
whatever you speak, corrupted
whatever I see, corrupted
whatever I feel
universal laws
unforgettable rules
were not written
all that glitters is not gold
road to hell, lead by the smell of coins
misguided, feeding our vanity
calamity is waiting for us
black knight, dressed up with fake fortune clothes
gaps filled with dirty green notes
the shortest path isn´t always the best one
stop money slavery, stop money slavery
raindrops, falling against my trench
if you never step outside, step outside
you might never get wet
if you never try you never get
if you just obey, get used to beg
kneel and pray your god for help
just hope won´t give you the chance, you say
“castaway in a crowd
a clown, stranger in my own town”
hit the ground, push them down, claim so loud
that everyone can hear you
somebody could help you
«come to the rescue»
corrupted, corrupted
whatever you do, corrupted
whatever you speak, corrupted
whatever i see, corrupted
whatever i feel
jinglin´ rounded guns that shoot missery, law of the jungle people starving
unexpected consecuences landing, no one but me can be my protector my own savior
hunger leads to anger, soon there won´t be any cure against decadence,
ignorance, money washes brains and hopes while tenderness
lost a site among the bonds of conquering new practices
free will empire, a joke? I would inquire becoming a mess, less means even less
corrupted, everything corrupted
the journalist who tells the truth is killed and nobody can stop it
corrupted, everything corrupted
war disguised as peace and chiildren as cruel sergeants… - Track Name: Things to do
-
THINGS TO DO
live before death comes
show yourself you are alive
draw wrinkles on your face
tell me the story of your life
challenge your fears
catch flies, tell some lies
dismiss envy
solidarity is a medicine
taste a teardrop fallen off
the eyes of the woman you loved most
once upon a time
take care of your own business
face to face is the way
don´t be nosy
´cause you are bored my friend
waves in the sea, waves in the sea
sunbathe, wasting time
don´t you think it´s a better way
to cure the pain in your heart
taste a teardrop fallen off
the eyes of the woman you loved most
once upon a time...
life is a proof, so candy
my love is pure, so friendly - Track Name: Blink Once
-
BLINK ONCE
with this eyes wide open I can see
the punishment we are going to live
we deserve
we all new about this unhappy ending
it´s too late to regret
blink once
if you don´t like what you see
blink twice
this is the jungle
three times no more
against the wind my legs tremble
we lost collective conscience
stockbrokers rule he world
tones of bullets mean freedom soldiers
black sheep inna the flock
with this mouth well closed I can´t speak
the government doesn´t want to hear
we accept
wallets full of notes are the only passport
breathe and sign the check
hole in my pocket
coins in their buckets
new culture rise and fall
needles left far away we can´t reach ´em
evil tricks and drugs
worldwide nets of incomunication
decoy to deceive our hopes
makes no sense life with no possession
destroy when they don´t like yours...
claim for what is yours
not because I say, just because you want to
claim for what is yours
don´t let them get it lost
don´t do what you are supposed to...
don´t do what you are supposed to...
don´t do, don´t do, don´t do... - Track Name: Green Dreams
-
GREEN DREAMS
planting and growing laughs and seeds
water and light will bring me the bubble
green dreams, smoggy landscapes
cream fields, in this tribal process
ritual starts with a big bonfire
is not legalizing what I talk about
I´m not apologising, I´m not allowed, allowed, allowed
flames reach the clouds
reggae music grounds
drum and bass play the beat of this new sound
horns cry out here we are jamming, all of us
connected by the
green dreams, smoggy landscapes
cream fields, in this tribal process
smoke invades my lungs and brain
I forget, where i belong to
I forget where i come from too
oh na na ven, na na ven...
inhale! exhale!
waiting, learning, sharing experiences
wings on i backs to fly back to the past
to the innocence, back to the innocence
fourth dimension is now open
hazy impressions of my whole life
no conversation we talk with the eyes
words are behind...
creating, collecting
smoking, protecting
life remains the same - Track Name: Prince of Nowhere
-
PRINCE OF NOWHERE
too much hate
too much rage
to grow with
no one by your side supports
the special way you see life
why do we let a child drift, why, why
why do we close the eyes
and pretend we don´t see
dreams vanish staring at the roof
violence fed by the one who should
take care of you
poor prince of nowhere
poor prince of nowhere
prince of nowhere
lord with no castle
king without a kingdom
s.o.s. in a bottle s.o.s.
men aren´t taught to cry
shame, shame, shame
guilty for been born
blame those who haven´t realized
what they have done, done, done
dreams vanished staring at the roof
violence fed by the one who should
take care of you
poor prince of nowhere
poor prince of nowhere
prince of nowhere
blame those
blame those
men aren´t taught to cry
poor prince of nowhere... - Track Name: Ana
-
ANA
when you come downtown
when you turn around and smile
when you look at me
I feel, there´s no need to speak
naughty, naughty soul
there´s a wit child deep inside
when we play some role
when we dance along the shore
“who´s that lady?”, people wonder
“she drives me crazy”, men stumble
if you feel blue
if you need a fix she´s your glue
if it´s a cloudy morning
she will make it sunshine for you
she brings the sun, she gives you fun
rocking and rolling
that´s the way she does, and I hear them say
“who´s that lady?”, people wonder
“she drives me crazy”, men stumble
gimme a happy day
gimme happy day today
gimme a happy day
gimme a happy day today
when I take off, I know
I´m gonna miss you much
but as you told me once
in a crossroads we will find
this future past
“who´s that lady?”, people wonder
“she drives me crazy”, men stumble
gimme a happy day... - Track Name: Last Drop
-
LAST DROP
forward
never step backwards
fearless
health is all what you need man
progress´ not the way they teach you
those stray dogs bite and bite
´till you bleed down to the last drop
I never told nobody to save my life
who are them to decide my future?
I don´t believe in invented threats
those stray dogs bite and bite
´till you bleed down to the last drop
war ain´t work but for their wealthy lives
a child with a gun is aiming right at my head
somebody kidnap mister president´s plane
and show him all the pain around the world
´till he cries down to the last drop
some pretend being god
consequence is...
shake their hands and we frown
time goes by ice melts
we´ll sweat down to the last drop
misunderstanding
thunders and lightnings
last drop of life... - Track Name: Border Walls
-
BORDER WALLS
my god is the music
prayer could be this song
right on my back, I carry on
with this message I put in words
we are not alone
just look around and see
how blind we are
how people forgot to be
no straight lines, no easy roads
that´s an invention like frontier walls
border walls
frontier walls
border walls
so many miles to walk
so many steps to take
so many tears to drop
but none of them will fall in vain, in vain
I could run away, and hide
but chose the fight
I & I will beat
all those fears and reach
the highest ground
highest trance
the highest ground
highest trance
humanity begins in each of us
I don´t like flags and all those symbols
they don´t represent my thoughts
represent my thoughts
I will stand here when they come
stand here when they come, come...
my chest to the front
my head up high, looking to the sky... - Track Name: 30 Steps
-
30 STEPS
it´s midnight in this smoke jungle
somebody put all the lights down
there´s no witness, out of sight
I´m just, thirty steps from you
take a blow, let your spirit flow
you don´t know but I am, getting close to you
your smell comes to me
this is your last chance to flee
there´s no bodyguard that can keep me away
I don´t need an invitation to stay
I do fear but i just hear the devil on my shoulder
no more than twenty steps from you to me
lack of self confidence, from you to me
leave apart the worries, from you to me
possessed by the heat like a sickness
backwards like a crab I wander
I mumble, mu mu mumble when i see you
face the truth, your worst enemy´s front of you
the shape is drawn with sweat on the mirror
I´m so close that I can touch you lightly with my breath
Before I faint I want to paint your lips with mine
something´s burning, could be me ´cause you look fine
just can blame myself would you mind if...
lack of self confidence,
leave apart the worries
possessed by the heat like a sickness
crowded place, seems like empty
porcelain face, my knees are shaking
lend me your hands, lend me your hands
I´ll write a happy end where we lie full naked
I get it, I get it
we gotta play the game
we gonna play - Track Name: Brown Skin
-
BROWN SKIN
brown skin
you got that rhythm
brown skin
you break my bones
brown skin
you make me feel it
brown skin
you turn me on
brown skin
you spread your feathers
brown skin
you break my bones
you break all my bones
brown skin
dream of your leather
brown skin
you turn me on
brown skin
you got that felling
brown skin
you break my bones
brown skin
you make feel it
brown skin
you turn me on...
