Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game Lyrics






Marching the Hate Machines (Into the Sun)

[ Featuring The Flaming Lips ]

Well let's start by
Making it clear
Who is the enemy, here

And we'll show them
That it's not them
Who is superior

So let's start by
Making it clear
Who is the enemy, here

And we'll show them
That it's not them
Who is superior

It's gonna be bad
It's gonna be wrong
It's gonna feel good

Marching the hate machines into the sun
Marching the hate machines into the sun

We'll let's start by
Making it clear
Who is the enemy, here

And we'll show them
That it's not them
Who is superior

Marching the hate machines into the sun
Marching the hate machines into the sun
Marching the hate machines into the sun
Marching the hate machines into the sun

Warning Shots

They try their best just to mash up the resistance
Warning shots and sirens from a distance
Riot gear and barricade for an instance
And the words from mi mouth, mi nuh response
Hollywood sending signals of destruction
Stereotype the ghetto youths as the bad man
Overcome the rough times and we grow strong
Step up in a life, now them want to shake we hand



We are eternal, made of the creator
Won't fall to the soul-less devastators
Divide and conquer, and try to separate us
Up to this day, them still try fi rape us

Revolution Solution

Oh I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate through
Unexhausted
Has been my virtue

Oh I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate through
Unexhausted
Has been my virtue

They set themselves against I
They set my pride on fire
Phoenix always rises high
Rebel crusader
Driven to decisions
They trapped me into

The Revolution Solution
Oh I've come to join you

Oh I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate through
Unexhausted
Has been my virtue

Oh I've hoped for comfort
But I've never felt too safe
And in this hard life
I've had to navigate through
Unexhausted
Has been my virtue

The paradox of poverty
Has left us dismayed
Sliding democracy
Washing away
The toil of the many goes
To the fortunate few

The Revolution Solution
Oh I've come to join you

The toil of the many goes
To the fortunate few

The Revolution Solution
Oh I've come to join you

Satyam Shivam Sundaram

Ishwar satya hai
Shiv hi sundar hai
Jaago, uth kar dekho
Jaago, uth kar dekho

Ek soorya hai, ek gagan hai
Ek hi dharti mata
Dayaa karo Prabhu, ek bane sab
Dayaa karo Prabhu, ek bane sab
Sab ka ek se naata

Satyam Shivam sundaram
Satyam Shivam sundaram
Raam Avdh mein, Kaashi mein
Shiv Kanhaa Vrindaavan mein

Dayaa karo Prabhu, dekho inko
Dayaa karo Prabhu, dekho inko
Har ghar ke aangan mein
Satyam Shivam sundaram
Satyam Shivam sundaram

Jaago, uth kar dekho
Jaago, uth kar dekho
Jaago, uth kar dekho
Jaago, uth kar dekho

Satyam Shivam sundaram

Amerimacka

Miss Liberty turn inna Jezzabelle
All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn

If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
She wouldn't have to hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
But now she's burnt us all with her flames

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

The land of the free built on slavery
Our consciousness in captivity
The promise land is the liar's den
Your culture of greed has got to end

Now we're laying in the mud
Looking up above
Tear water just ah drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud
Separating us from love
But me nah go let dem conquer de I

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

Ambicion Eterna

[ Featuring Verny Varela ]

Amor, no tengas miedo, amor
La vida es dura pero no es cruel
No creas todo lo que tú ves
Que sólo miedo quieren meter

Mi amor me dice qué debo hacer
Muchas preguntas sin responder
La vida nos pone pruebas
Yo sólo se

Todo es producto de un ambición
Que nunca se saciará

Y si las cosas van mal
No pierdas nunca tu fé
Después de la tormenta viene la calma, tú ves

Detrás de esa oscuridad
Siempre hay una claridad,
Esa luz de esperanza que siempre está

No dejes que la intranquilidad
Te quite el sueno, tu libertad,

La vida tiene que continuar
Lo que pasará, sólo él sabrá

Mi amor me dice cambia ese canal
Muchas tragedias he visto ya
Y la verdad no aparece
¿Dónde estará?

Todo es producto de un ambición
Que nunca se saciará

Y si las cosas van mal
No pierdas nunca tu fé
Después de la tormenta viene la calma, tú ves

Detrás de esa oscuridad
Siempre hay una claridad,
Esa luz de esperanza que siempre está

Pela Janela

Eh Morena
Este e um sonho estranho

Beijo luar

Sol Tapado

Eu sou o preto que voce matou
Eu sou o gato que voce cruzou
Agua passada que voce tomou
Eu sou a mesa que você virou

Eu sou o homem que voce julgou
Eu sou a planta que voce cortou
E a maconha que voce fumou
Eu sou o negro que voce matou

Bate bola entra na roda
Paga, monta e fica lá fora, fora
Bate balaio entra na roda
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara

Bate bola entra na roda
Paga, monta e fica lá fora, fora
Bate balaio entra na roda
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara

Eh, dança com a lua cheia
Eh, eh você já não me deve nada
Eh, dança com a lua cheia
Eh, eh você já não me deve nada...

Eu sou a terra que voce pisou
E o dinheiro que voce gastou
Eu sou o sol que voce tapou
Sou a mulher que voce violou

Eu sou o escravo que voce amarrou
O animal que voce nao soltou
Eu sou a luz que voce tapou
Eu sou o negro que voce matou

Bate bola entra na roda
Paga, monta e fica lá fora, fora
Bate balaio entra na roda
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara

Bate bola entra na roda
Paga, monta e fica lá fora, fora
Bate balaio entra na roda
Bate balaio que vai levar na cara

Eh, dança com a lua cheia
Eh, eh você já não me deve nada
Eh, dança com a lua cheia
Eh, eh você já não me deve nada...

The Heart's a Lonely Hunter

[ Featuring David Byrne ]

The truth is unspoken, a promise is broken
I'm under surveillance, they know what my name is
I need some protection, some love and affection
There's a thousand reasons, but one is the number

Welcome to my spaceship
It's beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's lonely hunter

Save bottles of water and flour and sugar
Turn off the AC and hang up the bed sheets
Cover up windows, careful where the light goes
Yank out the cable and blow out the candle

Welcome to my spaceship
You're beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's lonely hunter

Perfectly molded almost unfolded
Under the counter well, that is your nature
Drip grind or roasted, buttered or toasted
The greater the DB's the higher the AC

Psycho acoustics
Down in the black seats
Stereo nation
Amplification
The brave and the righteous
They're safe in their houses
Now one is just a number
The heart's a lonely hunter
One is the number
Heart is a hunter
One is a number
Heart is a hunter

Welcome to my spaceship
You're beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's lonely hunter

Welcome to my spaceship
You're beautiful forever
She's right here where you left her
And the heart's lonely hunter

Wires And Watchtowers

How can the wicked smile while the world is burning
How can they turn their eyes and walk away
How can the blue bloods hide, while brothers killing brothers
Why do they divide I and I for diamonds and gold

The dreams of children they float to the sky
And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind

The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining
The wind of Jah will scatter them away
The murderers clouds can't keep the sun from shining
Jah will scatter he who has no shame

The dreams of children they float to the sky
And wires and watchtowers can't bring their demise
Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind

Tell me why oh why are we so blind
The treasures of love lay buried inside
Tell me why oh why do we deny
The chains of Babylon are all in our mind

The Time We Lost Our Way

My mind is full bursting over
With all these things I can't remember
Every little single memory reminds me of you

My eyes were weary with all these tears
You left your shadow in my dreams
And all my doubts seem to disappear when you came along

Flowers melting up into the sky
Hear my heart where our love colides
We hear the songs we found in the times we lost our way

Gentle memories replace our tears
All the love we had is still right here
We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way

From without words can not describe
What caused the stars to fall deep inside
Every little single memory reminds me of you

Our days are gone lost forever
Reflecting light glistening under water
Naturally this could be everything that seems so unreal

Flowers melting up into the sky
Hear my heart where our love colides
We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way

Gentle memories replace our tears
All the love we had is still right here
We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way

Flowers melting up into the sky
Hear my heart where our love colides
We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way

Gentle memories replace our tears
All the love we had is still right here
We hear the songs we found in the time we lost our way
