lyrics
INTRO (FELA)
Teacher don't teach me nonsense Demo-"cracy", "cracy"-demo, demonstration of craze, crazy demonstration
VERSE 1:
If I had a dollar for each time I heard "that's life"
(I'll be hella rich, he he he hella rich)
Got a pound for every world ain't rosy and fine
(I'll be hella rich, he he he hella rich)
I can't help but wonder
Could we be a little more aware of each other
We all talk bout that freedom, new world
But what is the outcome if we can't see past the mirror?
Rora o rora o
We all know that people make a home
Ma sare o, ma sare o
Take it easy and don't lose control
PRE CHORUS
don't talk act, don't say show it, don't promise but prove it
CHORUS
let the world know
I see you oo oo right now
For you oo oo right now
Here's to you oo oo right now
For you oo oo right now
I wanna see you
Live like you want to
Don't let nobody stop you
only have one life so
Live it as you want to
What a feeling when we pay attention
To freedom
VERSE 2:
Bombs going off like its a celebration
(What a contradiction, co co co contradiction)
Some living the good life others in tribulation.
(What a contradiction, co co co contradiction)
It's like everybody is fighting for something
Love, rights, religion or just to stay breathing
I see people screaming hands up
And they're not even at a concert
PRE CHORUS
don't talk act, don't say show it, don't promise but prove it
CHORUS
let the world know
I see you oo oo right now
For you oo oo right now
Here's to you oo oo right now
For you oo oo right now
I wanna see you
Live like you want to
Don't let nobody stop you
only have one life so
Live it as you want to
What a feeling when we pay attention
To freedom
BRIDGE:
If we rise we will take it to the mountain top
(Put some love on somebody, love on somebody)
respect life all man gat a limit pon the clock
(Put some love on somebody, love on somebody)
Why ai ai does freedom always come at a cost?
I see people get lost around the clock
Now we wondering when will it end
When will it end
CHORUS
let the world know
I see you oo oo right now
For you oo oo right now
Here's to you oo oo right now
For you oo oo right now
I wanna see you
Live like you want to
Don't let nobody stop you
only have one life so
Live it as you want to
What a feeling when we pay attention
To freedom
Joined by musicians from all over the world, the Danish ensemble bridge the gaps between Afrobeat, jazz, soul, and funk. Bandcamp New & Notable May 10, 2023
The album, influenced by 1970s and '90s jazz fusion, is equally relaxed and restless. It registers further away from this planet, but still sounds right at home. Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 19, 2016
