Third World Child
Bits of songs and broken drums
Are all he could recall
So he spoke to me
In a bastard tongue
Carried on the silence of the guns

"It's been a long long time
since they first came
And marched through our village
They taught us to forget our past
And live the future in their image"

Chorus
They said
'You should learn to speak a little bit of English
Don't be scared of a suit and tie.
Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
-- I am a Third World Child

The Outworld's dreams are the currency
That grip the city streets
I live them out
But I have my own
Hidden somewhere deep inside of me

In between my father's fields
And the citadels of the rule
Lies a no-man's land which I must cross
To find my stolen jewel.

They said
'You should learn to speak a little bit of English
Maybe practise birth control
Keep away from controversial politics
So to save my third world soul

Chorus
They said
'You should learn to speak a little bit of English
Don't be scared of a suit and tie.
Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
-- I am a Third World Child

Popular Songs:
purpose

dreaming wild white horses

no me amenaces

round and round

i don't understand your love

you'll feel it when you're mine

victoire

sleeping dogs

la ronde triste

its dangerous business walking out your front door

the northern silence

the beat goes on

material

nã¤iden tã¤htien alla

perrette, la mã´me lolo

just a number

en cantar de un niã±o

proofs

never been funked

such reveries
