Inspired by a farmer's protest I witnessed in front of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand, 2011. Dedicated to my ancestors.
lyrics
Breaking all the laws of creation,
Don't have time to argue about where we came from.
Pray to the father and the holy son,
but what about our mother we build these things on?
Look to the sky to answer our worth.
Sun is shining while dark is the earth.
Buildings grow higher, gotta get to the top
But shadows are casted on those we forgot
Oh no, can't you see we want no more
Oh no, can't you see we want no more.
Blood is shedding in the land of the green
Turned into grey concrete
Black is the skin that cared for the Earth
Kicked to the floor, treated as dirt
Uprise them in the belly of the beast
Who's listening to their needs?
Blinded by colors of ivory.
Come down from your towers,
We're screaming for peace.
Oh no, can't you see we want no more.
Oh no, can't you see we want no more.
Our time is coming soon
Taking back what you claimed was new
Our time is coming soon
We refuse to keep being used.
Oh no, can't you see we want no more.
Oh no, can't you see we want no more.
