Lyrics:
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly-was and almost-rans
I remember this
History is made
History is made to seem unfair
I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
A symbol wave I must confide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly-was and almost-rans
I remember this, this
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
Chanting on my can around the rainbow circle chow
Chanting on my can around the rainbow circle chow
The lion, the lion, the lion, the lion, crown the king
The lion, the lion, crown the king
In Addis Ababba, Africa
The, yes, continent, continent, continent, continent
Continent, continent, continent, continent, continent
It's, green and gold, it's the rainbow
It's, green and gold, it's the rainbow
It's, green and gold, it's the rainbow
It's, green and gold, it's the rainbow
Meet me at the bank of the beautiful river
Meet me at the bank of the beautiful river
Right over there...
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly-was and almost-rans
I remember this
History is made
History is made to seem unfair
I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
A symbol wave I must confide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly-was and almost-rans
I remember this, this
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
When you hurt, I hurt
I wanna hurt the ones that hurt you
When you cry, I cry
I wanna be the one you turn to
There’s nothing in this world i wouldn’t do
I'd walk the continents
The continents for you
There’s nothing on this earth
You don’t deserve i'd walk the continents
The continents for you
Ou-ou-ou-ou-eyo-eyo you-ou-ou-ou-ou-eyo-eyo
You-ou-ou-ou-ou-eyo-eyo
I'd walk the continents
The continents for you
When you fall, I fall
And I cannot always keep you safe here
But if you call I'm coming
Running straight to you
Cause nobody cares the way that I care
Therе’s nothing in this world
(There’s nothing in this world)
I wouldn’t do (I wouldn’t do)
I'd walk the continеnts
The continents for you
There’s nothing on this earth
(There’s nothing on this earth)
You don’t deserve i'd walk the continents
The continents for you
Ou-ou-ou-ou-eyo-eyo you-ou-ou-ou-ou-eyo-eyo

Hello, boys and girls
It's The Mothers' movie
And we're going to have a wonderful time
Watching 'em jump around and have merry fun
And all sorts of bizarre teenage delights
From continent to continent
Strange and wonderful things
That these Mothers Of Invention do
For fun and profit
In this first sequence you will see
A bunch of hairy people
Doing a bunch of stuff and beyond that
I couldn't really tell you
Exactly what's going on
But it won't make any difference at all
Because who ever heard of
The Mothers Of Invention?
Until the philosophy
Which hold one race superior and another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained
Now everywhere is war
War
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War war
Rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Until the philosophy
Which hold one race superior and another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained
Now everywhere is war
War
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War war
Rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
There is war,
And the rumors of war.
Until that day,
There is no continent,
Which will know peace.
Children, children.
Fight!
We find it necessary.
We know we will win.
Those cocky little fires you started in the night
The independent claims that just meant "Hold me tight"
The bruises on your body that you swore were from a fight
I'll pass at your insistence
Alsatians fall unconscious at the shadow of your call
One glance from your direction and the government will fall
Whole continents of misery don't bother you at all
But for me you have persistence
[Chorus]
Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die
I'd like to leave so would you kindly look the other way
You tell me to be honest but I've nothing left to say
Just like your feet my goddess, my brain has turned to clay
An end to all resistance
[Chorus x 3]
Run all day, run all night
Do or die, do or die
Got to run for your life
Do or die, do or die
I near a wind
Whistling air
Whispering in my ear
Boy Mercury shootin' through every degree
Ooo girl dancin' down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Skip the air-strip for the sunset
Ride the arrow for the target---One
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Bustin' boundaries
Take it hip to hip rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
We can be together
Ah you and me
We should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die
We can be together
All your private property is target for your enemy
And your enemy
Is we
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves
Up against the wall
Up against the wall fred (motherfucker)
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Come on now together
Get it on together
Everybody together
We should be together
We should be together my friends
We can be together
We will be
We must begin here and now
A new continent of earth and fire
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won't you try
Four score and seven years ago
So began the message
Of a war-weary President Abraham Lincoln
A message written on the back of
An envelope on a train
On the way to dedicate a battlefield
Where men from the north and south
Had died at Gettysburg Pennsylvania
Four score and seven years ago our
Forefathers brought forth on this continent
A new nation conceived in liberty
And dedicated in the proposition that
All men are created equal
Now we're engaged in a great Civil War
Testing whether that nation or
Any nation so conceived
And so dedicated can long endure
We are met on a great battlefield of that war
We have come to dedicate a
Portion of that field
As the final resting place for those
Who here gave their lives
That that nation might live
It is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate
We cannot consecrate
We cannot hallow this ground
For the brave men living and
Dead who struggled here
Have consecrated it far above our poor
Power to add or detract
The world will little notice or long
Remember what we say here
But it can never forget what they did here
It is for us the living rather to
Be dedicated here to the unfinished work
Which they who fought here have
Thus so nobly advanced
It is rather for us to be here dedicated
To the great task remaining before us
That from these honored dead
We take increased devotion
To that cause for which they gave
The last full measure of devotion
That we here highly resolve that these
Dead shall not have died
In vain and that this nation under God
Shall have a new birth of freedom
And the government of the people by
The people and for the people
Shall not perish from the earth
We can be together
Ah you and me
We should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die
We can be together
All your private property is target for your enemy
And your enemy
Is we
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves
Up against the wall
Up against the wall fred (motherfucker)
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Come on now together
Get it on together
Everybody together
We should be together
We should be together my friends
We can be together
We will be
We must begin here and now
A new continent of earth and fire
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won't you try
Et l'océan reste là
L'océan n'en finit pas
Pays d'eau
Continent pour bateau
Toi, la fourmi
Toi, l'humain tout petit
Toi, le terrien
Tu n'es rien, mais tu vis
Tu te démènes de tous les côtés
Tu n'en peux plus de te précipiter
Et ta maison et tes idées
Tes chansons, tout est pressé
L'océan reste là
Prend son temps
N'en finit pas
Rêve d'eau
Continent de repos
Dans le vacarme
Des marteaux piqueurs
Des cris d'alarme
Où étouffe ton cœur
Dans la nuée
Des voitures hystériques
Dans la ruée
Des voies périphériques
Toi, tu te tues
Et chaque année
T'habitues
À t'en moquer
L'océan reste là
Se défend, ne cède pas
L'océan continent
Pour géant
L'océan reste là
L'océan n'en finit pas
Pays d'eau
Continent pour bateau
L'océan reste là
Prend son temps
N'en finit pas
Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
Who you were meant to be
Flick to remote and let the body glide
There is no enemy
Etch out a future of your own design
Well tailored to your needs
Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive
Of a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
Windpower
There is no enemy
Switch of the mind and let the heart decide
We're a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
Shatter the lens and grind it into sand
One measured exposure
Scatter the seed and furrow in our land
The future is roses, roses
Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
There is no enemy
Lift up the hearts of this your only tribe
We're a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
We're a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
L'homme plein de dignité
Sa nature, ses dieux,
Son histoire et l'au delà
L'homme et son paysage aimé
Tout est là devant ses yeux
Tout dedans le baouba
La renaissance africaine
La renaissance africaine
Et sa puissance
La renaissance africaine
La renaissance africaine
Avec sa dance
C'est l'Afrique liberté
C'est l'Afrique et ses idées
De sagesse et de vigueur
C'est l'Afrique et sa mission
Clé pour la vrai construction
Du monde civilisé
Son peuple, son territoire
Qui s'étendent en diaspora
Jusqu'à la fin de la terre
En Europe, en Amérique
C'est toujours l'esprit d'Afrique
La nouveauté qui prospère
Ses enfants, ses gens musclés
Ses femmes d'outre beauté
Une beauté noir-nuit
Continent le plus agé
Les vieux temps nous ont laissé
Sa mythologie, sa vie
One breath away from mother Oceanðòa
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace and crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see the islands
You count the centuries, I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating across the sky
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
One breath away from mother ocean
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves

Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side

Stingrays are floating across the sky
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why

Your sweat is salty

One breath away
From Mother Oceania
Your nimble feet make prints
In my sand
You have done
Good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl
Sweet like harmony
Made into flesh

A new continent of earth and fire
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won't you try
Mass migration of people,
Lithuania, estonia, czechoslovakia, poland,
Refugees from all over the european continent.
All traveling to america,
The land of the free.
All traveling to america,
To the great city.
Life in the city
Started to get me down.
When we were, I guess, an empty continent?
We stretched our necks to hear below the decks
But our fears were never real enough so we would just project
Adjust your eyes to the light
And let them roll with pride
Focus your mind on the fight
But keep your hand in mine
War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south
War - war
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight
We find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
