Lyrics by ORIOL JOSA.

lyrics

Hey, hey,
things didn't turn to be so nice, girl,
on any side of the river bank,
when i was wandering with my son there
sister, everything looked like dust and pain.

So hey hey
you never phoned
when you were needed
and hey, times went away
without you there

And hey hey
it's not that i want to complain now
but what was ours deserves some tears.
Don't it, babe, don't it babe,
don't it, don't it babe?


You know bro
we did bury all our dreams
yeah in the neighbourhood that burnt
and while the ashes are still raising
there's only silence 'round our feet
it's when you mix dreams with indifference
that nightmares come to take their place.

you know bro
it is when fire rains from heaven
and it's when punishment is for the fair
when what they control is justice
justice never to be made
those little snails that wear their houses
that always come after the rain
though some fragile and some are dying
most o'them live well free and gay
with those infinite prairies of fresh food
without asking nothing else.
hey hey bro maybe you ain't that weak when
you can fight, man
maybe you know some kinds of love then
bro you keep calm
and decolonise everything
bro you keep calm and
decolonise everything.

Won't you brother, won't you
won't you won't you brother?
