《Natives》歌词

时长： 04:04

Natives - The Rankin Family[00:00:00]

For all our languages we can't communicate[00:00:09]

For all of our native tongues we're all natives here[00:00:19]

Sons of their fathers dream the same dream[00:00:30]

The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream[00:00:40]

Voices in anger victims of history[00:00:51]

Plundered and set aside grown fat on swallowed pride[00:01:01]

With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives[00:01:11]

Missionaries pioneers are soldiers in disguise[00:01:22]

Saviours and conquerors they make us wait[00:01:32]

The fishers of men they wave their truth like bait[00:01:43]

With the touch of a stranger's hand[00:01:53]

Innocence turns to shame[00:01:59]

The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain[00:02:04]

For all of our languages we can't communicate[00:02:35]

For all our native tongues we're all natives here[00:02:45]

The scars of the past are slow to disappear[00:02:56]

The cries of the dead are always in our ear[00:03:06]

Only the very safe can talk about wrong and right[00:03:17]

Of those who are forced to choose[00:03:27]

Some will choose to fight[00:03:33]

For all of our languages we can't communicate[00:03:37]
