lyrics

You and me, my ancestral brother,
We have to make things right somehow,
You and I, there’s no one else around, so
We have to make it together right now.

We’ve been fooled we’ve got different roots, so
We can’t grow in the same land.
I don’t wanna build any more stupid fences and walls,
Why don’t we make bridges instead, my friend?

We’ll end up running away from each other,
We already deny who we are, we’d rather play strangers,
Pretending we’re far too different to meet again.
We’re hiding behind political correctness,
Mimicking candor and fairness,
Clumsy lies that nobody actually honestly believes…

Once upon a time humankind was a single tribe
That left home together to conquer the world.
Here we are now, we made it this far only to
Kill each other on the dance floor…
