Paroles de 'Educate Thy Neighbor' par Gogol Bordello

Streets of sulukule
Are down down down
Urban progress bullies
Try to steal its crown

Till first note a-ripples
And street beats errupts
Now you see who’s heart and soul
Is bankrupt

Not these smiles not these eyes
Tired of truth they’re tired of lies
Do you believe by the sword all die
When mahalados are just trying to get by

Educate thy neighboor
Educate my friend thy neighboor ey
Educate thy neighboor
Educate my friend they neighboor ei ei ei

Educate thy neighbor
Bout the urban plot
To pave over culture
For new parking lot

Educate thy neighboor
Bout attrocity
They buldoze as if you can buy
Thousand years of history

Not these smiles not these eyes
Tired of truth they’re tired of lies
Do you believe by the sword all die
When favelados are just trying to get by

Educate thy neighboor
Educate my friend thy neighboor ey
Educate thy neighboor
Educate my friend they neighboor ei ei ei

Diaspora rockers
Vamos a matar
Vamos a matar
Policia militar

So be it over glass of porto
Or a hookah on roof top
Educate my friend thy neighborr
Deliver to him/her whats up

Be it over game of poker
Or after sex cigarette
Word of mouth eductainment
Beats tv and internet

My beat is // beat of the barrios

My beat is // beat of the sowetto

My beat is // of the sulukule

My beat is // of any ghetto

Do you believe by the sword all die
When favelados are just trying to get by

Chorus

Educate thy neighboor (ah ah ha)
Educate my friend thy neighboor ey
Educate thy neighboor (ah ah ah)
Educate my friend they neighboor ei ei ei
