Songtexte Warlords - Jfameous

Shots fired in the sun
Warlords got me on the run
My children starving and diseased
On a ship of refugees

Ain't no way out when you in this deep
Ain't no way out its a tragedy
Shots fired in the sun
Warlords got me on the run

(Now) Everybody move - to the back of the bus,
heard they zip tying hands - and they're baggin 'em up
Word on the street is - you can hitch a ride,
said word on the street - if you stay you're gonna die
In the oven till I'm fried - in the pot till I'm baked,
still diggin' out the bodies - that got buried in the quake
Shaking out stone - kid bathe by the lake,
till I score thirty carat - imma make my getaway

Cuz' they burn 'em by the dozen - sometimes everyday,
if there's fire once a week - they must be running low on flame
Monkey in the bush - looking pretty tame,
when you got a human being - who don't have any shame
Only had a number - never had a name,
snitching on my mother - never knew another way
Used to have a brother - but the rebels had him
slain, in the name of God - so I really can't complain

Shots fired in the sun
Warlords got me on the run
My children starving and diseased
On a ship of refugees

Ain't no way out when you in this deep
Ain't no way out its a tragedy
Shots fired in the sun
Warlords got me on the run

(Now) Underneath the canopy - no one can hear you when you
scream, in the village where i'm
from - warcries wake you from your dream
It's all part of the scheme - and it's goes up to the
Queen, the crown jewels taken - from an indentured colony
Now would you follow follow me - if I spit the prophecy,
if you give the minors wine - you can make the kids believe
Heard outside the gate - is so
disorderly, the viceroy himself - has no authority

How he win the vote - without majority,
heard the waters unpoliced - and it's ripe for piracy
Children orphaned on the street - and their ripe for
tyranny, hope you put the money down - to get the warranty
Cut a contract - on a script of
heresy, rebel general - based in the embassy
Know far and wide - for lack of clemency,
pillaging the cities - amputating enemies
