Take the long train to Bombay
|
Duck as the tunnels came
|
Tune in your crystal set
|
You've won the freedom to forget
|
You've won the freedom to forget
|
|
Feeling good migrations
|
Tuned in to the mother nation
|
Taking her aim
|
Changing your name
|
|
Now we're nomads
|
That stay in one place
|
Not a country
|
Not a face
|
Standing out but still like ghosts
|
Long-term guests
|
Ungracious hosts
|
Re-written history
|
A sleepy slavery
|
Those sweet sweet sweet machines
|
Senfling, selling
|
Good migrations
|
Tuned in to the mother nation
|
Taking her aim
|
Rearranging the chains ....
|
|
The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white
|
Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride
|
Hostile environments along the way
|
A slowly changing landscape
|
But a steady stream of consciousness rising
|
A steady stream of consciousness rising
|
|
This is the journey from loneliness to pride
|
No longer any need to hide ....
|
|
Struggle to live
|
And we cry struggle to survive
|
Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla
|
Just to stay alive
|
In the jungle you either do or you die
|
You got to be aware
|
You got to have the jungle eye ....
