Lyrics :

Music is our passion
We're moving through no man's land
in a war zone
we don't use weapons just our voices and our bare hands
This is a metaphor
Are you bored ?
With this video game and your bad score ?
Look up ahead throught the smoke and acid rain
an evil warlord with his evil horde
Coming to get us
Enlist us and send us off to war
But you know what ?
Fuck him
The pen is mightier than the sword
I'm a vocal warrior ready to go off and fight a war
The real enemy is yourself
Your ego with its delusions of grandeur
But shit
there it is
what can I tell you ?
Taken by the enemy
made into a POW
Behind enemy lines my words are twisted
Forced to comply and write lies lies
but the most important thing is just to survive
Live to fight another day
Come back stronger
and say in the end
I did it my way
comme d'habitude
Dance to live
Dance to die
Under the bombs
And the
the gunfire
Dance to live
Dance to die
Under the bombs
And the,
the gunfire
Dance to live
Dance to die
Under the bombs
And the,
the gunfire
Music is our passion,
passion in our music
With bombs dropping all around us
I can hear the gunfire out in the streets
You beat me down for what I think
Dammit I shoulda learnt to fight
Instead of learning to read and write
Now you're here
Don't know who you are
With an animal gleam in your eyes
My time to say so long
Bye bye !
To all my worldly friends and possesions
Manage to get my music out before I die
People pick up the song and sing it
You live on as a monster, a murderer
And I'll be the martyr
I just write lyrics
And you just pull triggers
The artist is always right
Close to our dreams
Close to the infinite
I was a bad target
I infect the television waves
The radio waves
The internet
Like a virus
With my love, my pleasure
Leafy sun filled avenues
Birds that fly above
and fishes swimming in the seas azure
The sun is there for us all
And you want us all in trenches
trying to bring about humanities downfall
Crazy people on every side
Ready to kill and ready to die
Can nobody live and let live ?
Why ?
Why ?
Why ?
Why ?
Dance to live
Dance to die
Under the bombs
And the
the gunfire
Coming up to the mental checkpoint
Roll up the wacky tabacky
Pass me a joint
Out of the warzone metaphor
Relax
Back home to the norm
War ain't real here
Switch off your bullshit TV
You're at war with yourself and your base instincts
You've got work to do
Clear your spirits
Try to think your reality through
Cos you know,
Your thoughts create your reality
they really do
Act local
Act positive
Help yourself be kind
Watch your health
Cos if you're not nice to yourself
No one else is going to be
Don't try and convince people differently
Just let them be
Actions speak louder than words
Believe in it get closer to your dreams
the more you do it the easier it seems
