Текст песни Of Course You Can (Spearhead) с переводом

Ya know one day the indigenous people of the

earth are gonna reclaim what’s righfully

there’s.

Really? Uh oh!

Lose your mind misplace your mind

forgot you even had a mind

'cause someone told you it’s impossible

to change your mind

a friend of mine made it to twenty-five

we had a celebration man I’m glad that you’re alive

I’m happy to see my man you’re beatin’the odds

and for this on this day we give thanks to the gods

'cause everyone deserves a shot except you only get one

I hope it’s not through the head my son.

'cause life is short when you’re afraid to die.

life is hard when you’re afraid to cry.

but when I feel alone I sing myself a song

because wherever I lay a groove is my home.

But can you see me in the desert?

Of course you can!

Can you see me on the mountain?

Of course you can!

Can you see me in the ocean?

Of course you can!

I’m just splishin’and splashin'

and jumpin’in the sand!

But he remembered memories of walkin'

through the puddles

sayin’Gee dad, am I the one who’s wanted by the federal Government doesn’t want me to go to school

I ask too many questions

and I don’t play by their rules.

In school they tried to tall me that a rock is not alive

but I have seen a volcano growin’up and die

In school they tried to tell me that a tree it couldn’t feel

but I have felt a tree and it was bleeding for real

In school they tried to tell

me animals couldn’t talk

but they can understand it when a dog starts to bark

in school they tried to tell me man doesn’t have a soul

whet happened to his I say cause mine is still whole!

(bridge)

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

The reoccuring dream of life’s imprisonment

the reoccuring scream of a world and it’s residents

the reoccuring theme of a mind full of finger prints

the reoccuring dream of a knife and a president

well would you like to look at Madonna’s book on sex?

or would you rather Alex Haley’s book on Malcolm X?

Their fuckin’with Ice T but they don’t even care if Eric Clapton’s singin’I Shot the Sherriff!

but how many more books on this subject can I read

and how many more frustrations must I try to ease

end how many more days of this bad air can I breathe

and how many more of my friends must just die and leave

But you can’t diffuse the ticking time bomb

you can’t refuse the time it has come

you can’t erase our people from the nation

I’ll take a life before they call us the lost generation

Can you see me in Africa?

of course you can!

can you see me in Asia?

of course you can!

can you see me in Australia?

of course you can!

Aotearoa? Western Samoa? Eskimoa?

can you see me in the White House?

no you can’t!

can you see me on the radio?

Hell No!

Can you see me with the police?

In handcuffs?

splishin', splashin', jumpin'in the sand.
