《Natives(Live at The Point， 2006)》歌词

时长： 02:58

For all of our languages we can＇t communicate[00:00:01]

For all of our native tongues we＇re all natives here[00:00:08]

Sons of their fathers＇ dream the same dream[00:00:16]

The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream[00:00:23]

Voices in anger victims of history[00:00:31]

Plundered and set aside grow fat on swallowed pride[00:00:39]

With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives[00:00:49]

Missionaries and pioneers are soldiers in disguise[00:00:57]

Saviours and Conquerers they make us wait[00:01:05]

Like fishers of men they wave their truth like bait[00:01:13]

But with the touch of a stranger＇s hand innocence turns to shame[00:01:20]

The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain[00:01:28]

For all of our languages we can＇t communicate [00:01:56]

For all of our native tongues we＇re all natives here[00:02:03]

The scars of the past are slow to disappear[00:02:11]

The cries of the dead are always in our ears[00:02:19]

And only the very safe can talk about wrong and right[00:02:27]

Of those who are forced to choose some will choose to fight For all of our languages we can＇t communicate[00:02:35]
