A Caverna

Esta é a caverna, quando a caverna nos é negada/Estas páginas são as paredes da antiga caverna de novo entre nós/A nova antiga caverna/Antiga na sua primordialidade/no seu sentido essencial/ali onde nossos antepassados sentavam a volta da fogueira/Aqui os que passam se encontram nos versos de outros/os meus versos são teus/os teus meus/os eus meus teus /aqui somos todos outros/e sendo outros não somos sós/sendo outros somos nós/somos irmandade/humanidade/vamos passando/lendo os outros em nós mesmos/e cada um que passa se deixa/essa vontade de não morrer/de seguir/de tocar/de comunicar/estamos sós entre nós mesmos/a palavra é a busca de sentido/busca pelo outro/busca do irmão/busca de algo além/quiçá um deus/a busca do amor/busca do nada e do tudo/qualquer busca que seja ou apenas o caminho/ o que podemos oferecer uns aos outros a não ser nosso eu mesmo esmo de si?/o que oferecer além do nosso não saber?/nossa solidão?/somos sós no silêncio, mas não na caverna/ cada um que passa pinta a parede desta caverna com seus símbolos/como as portas de um banheiro metafísico/este blog é metáfora da caverna de novo entre nós/uma porta de banheiro/onde cada outro/na sua solidão multidão/inscreve pedaços de alma na forma de qualquer coisa/versos/desenhos/fotos/arte/literatura/anti-literatura/desregramento/inventando/inversando reversamento mundo afora dentro de versos reversos solitários de si mesmos/fotografias da alma/deixem suas almas por aqui/ao fim destas frases terei morrido um pouco/mas como diria o poeta, ninguém é pai de um poema sem morrer antes

Tomorrow Begins Today


TOMORROW BEGINS TODAY
Asian Dub Foundation

I know a place not so far
where no government holds sway
where no Prime Minister is given the time of day
where the people demand to have a say
and they say tommorow begins today
so i know i have to find a way
i'm leaving today
to where fences may bar my way
where my imagination
can be lead astray
tomorrow begins today


Oil


OIL
Asian Dub Foundation

How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
(We want your oil)
The villages are mined the contract's been signed
we'll tell you one more time
(We want your oil)
Supply no longer guranteed we demand security
Running out of Texas tea
(We want your oil)
Children of the CIA we want somewhere new to play
Better get right out the way
(We want your oil)
Civilisation birth nerve centre of the earth
Welcome to our new turf
(We want your oil)
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this ?
Smart bomb with more brains than the President
Blipping and bleeping as they target residents
Of market squares and hospital wards King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk
While King rat is safe in the wings of the hawk
Watch me now
Beat seeking missile gonna blast yer mind out
Bomb for peace I'm gonna burn your eyes out
I'm covering my ears don't wanna receive it
I'm trembling in fear say me can't belive it
Inspector defector arms dealer revealer
Document leaker over here Mr.Speaker
A spin refugee like Mohammed Ali
Me say no Iraqi ever called me Paki
How did we get to this lord?
How did we get to this?
A secret never to be told always to be sold
Digging out the Black gold
(We want your oil)
Petro junkies must be fed Going Barefoot in the head
It's S.U.V's with warheads (We want your oil)
Tearing up formalities there is no neutrality
Welcome to reality (We want your oil)
Ignore treates line by line Litte countries fall behind
The lunatics will lead the blind (We want your oil)
The lunatics will the blind
How did we get to this load?
How did we get to this?



Flyover


FLYOVER
Asian Dub Foundation

Flyover, Flyover
Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Chance! Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Chance! Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Sing! Flyover, Flyover

Mr.Chance met your products and get out of my way,
There ain't enough hours in my day,
The cities on fire in the pouring rain,
seem as life is faster than a run-a-way train,
Hit the buzzer da da shi shi for computers ab da shi, the bloody turf wanna me to find a new chief,
And get beding the wheel-a-way, never going home,
Speeding and sliding inside the transit zone

Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured

Speeding through the heebies about 20 percent, watcha red between a buty and a innocent,
Rubbing shoulders with a su-su-super classic engine, burning out the ura and salt cans and tank,
Choking up a land of fire smoking up the air, some days you rather be anywhere but here,
Choking up a land of fire smoking up the air, some days you rather be anywhere but here

Sing! Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover,
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Flyover

Ooh, the city is blind but it will not slow down, the try for destruction is the heaviest sound,
The city is blind but it will not slow down, the try for destruction is the heaviest sound,
Is the heaviest sound, is the heaviest sound,
Flyover, flyover,
Is the heaviest sound,
Flyover, flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,

Shift to the underworld and it's another story, as the sales surround you with positive energy,
As the baseline ba da ba da be da be agree activity
I said you know this is the place to be, You know it's always been the place to be, you know it's always been the place to be,
I said you know this is the place to be,
I got dem, got dem longdisady

Flyover, Flyover
Step on the gas get down in the accelerator,
Flyover, Flyover
Don't wanna get back don't wanna get captured,
Don't wanna be down in the station in the stroke of midnight, nobody wanna go where there's plenty of light,
Asking for direction when I'm tired of a way, you know there's never time, you know there's never been a powers in the day,
You know there's never been a powers in the day, in the day, in the day,
The city is blind but it will not slow down, the try for destruction is the heaviest sound


Take Back The Power


TAKE BACK THE POWER
Asian Dub Foundation

See their eyes see their lies
Unelected rejected it don't matter anyway
See their smile read their file
By hook or by crook they always find their way
Still at the bottom of the learning curve
Maybe got the leaders that we deserve
Bitin the burger makes our brains get smaller
Waistlines getting larger we wanna make it harder
We gotta be as hungry as they are
We gotta be as hungry as they are
Get hungry get angry get hungry and take back the power
Put your fist in the air rebels here and everywhere
Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare
Time dem tought
Justice rough
A million on the streets don't seem to be enough
Taken for a ride way down inside
Livin rent free within your mind Mercanary military use everything they got
Coup d'état make us pay for every shot
Believe the world they show breathe the air they blow
Losing sense of what i know is real and what is not
We gotta be as hungry as they are
We gotta ba as hungry as they are
Get hungry get angry and take back the power
Put your fist in the air rebels here and everywhere
Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare .


19 Rebellions

1000 mirrors


1000 MIRRORS
ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION + SINEAD O'CONNOR

A scream a shout far in the distance
Maybe the first or second floor
Curtains colouring the windows
Never see behind closed doors
A silent siege behind politeness
Domestic harmony for show
Lost in the mirage of a marriage
Outside a world she'll never know

And as I see through the real you
I'm falling straight into
A thousand broken Mirrors
I can't hide
And outside the bright lights
Can't hide the pain inside
And I've broken a thousand mirrors
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time

Loving her children with a passion
Protecting them at any cost
Taking the only course of action
There's no more bridges left to cross
Who are the ones that are the guilty?
Who are the ones that bear the scar?
We must not leave our sisters bleeding
We sing this song for Tsoora Shah
And as I see through the real you
I'm falling Straight into
A thousand broken Mirrors
I can't hide
And outside the bright lights
Can't hide the pain inside
And I've broken a thousand mirrors
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time
