Culture Or Vulture
When vultures turn culture into business then the talent doesn't matter
the volume on selling art
ooh - goes low
all the artists bare witness
to this crime these times it happens
so what is the criteria
if money talks instead of us and controls the worlds stages
music tv radio
where all risking loosing our expression
the vultures are watching for quick money solutions
we gotta fight, ooh -ohh, we must unite
for our cultures 'cause we can't let it rot '
behind the scene, there is a question
behind the scene, tells me what's going on
behind the scenes there is a question
behind the curtain, tells me what's going on on on on
are you culture? - are you vulture?
vultures flying circling around us search-ing
searching and preying on us
art dealer sliving off us
profiteering from the gains of the arts pirating copying
plastering pasting
circula ting it round and round
plaugurising faking it knocking us down
flesh peckers pecking raiding
swooping everything that they think
that money can take
heart breaking energy can be sold vultures stealing soul yeah
we gotta part
it's in our hands it’s in our hands
behind the scenes there is a question
behind the scenes, there is a question
behind the scenes, tell me what’s going on
behind the curtain tells me yeah
behind the scenes yeah yeah yeah
are you vulture? are you culture?
raided like the tombs of the pyramid
the bust of neferttiti stands -alone yeah
(behind the curtain)
today every one’s a tag star
(behind the scene)
you can't put a price on art
while art - industry pays for number ones (behind the scene)
many people do it for free
like the busker in the street
(behind the scene)
every body is a tag star
cant put a price on art
(behind the curtain)
while big industries pa y for number ones (behind the scene)
many people do it in the streets
like buskers yeah yeah yeah

i have dropped many tears before because of love
so this time i promised myself that i
i would never never never
shed no more
but a big teardrop
started to fall all all upon my chick

i know it was, it was wrong
but you'd never know

and i heard someone say keep on
it would not last for long keep on walking
a beginning always has an ending
and i knew when i was crying

love does sound like raindrops my river turns to rain raindrops raining
in my heart my heart is pounding
it wouldn't last for long

Still Young
03:33
|
|||
Still I'm young I feel so young
during my childhood playing and having fun, I enjoyed it
when I was a kid
but to be honest
If you ask me, to choose I'd pre-fer to be an adult a thousand times
clock turns and turns and makes me learn some things in life, I wouldn't do it again
now times slowed down I take control
I don't want to loose my innocent soul
gettin' older older
time is passing older older but at the same time I’m feeling so young
during my teenage years I lived in a storm many thing sharpened many ups and downs
when your young
you never dreamed of getting older
couldn' t see the future
I was just killing time many milestones
I had to make it just to get here
when you grow up
you understand to look after the innocent kid
gettin' older older time is passing by
older older
at the same time I feel so young
look at me, I’m young, time is passing by
gettin' older older
time is passing older older but at the same time i’m feeling so young
