lyrics

Screams from suburbia
Iron clouds cast over every life
Trespassing normality through a smoke screen of hypocrisy
Applied through lead and fire

United Nations of imperialism
Build our Golgotha right in front of our consciousness
Its shadow brings back to life memories...
Memories we just wanted to forget

Fierce lights set our nights aflame
These streets have seen much more than what they can tell
Endless rumbles of international disgrace
Devastating green fields, concrete buildings,
Shoving mines down our throats

Radioactive postcards from the sky, singing lullabies that
Becomes desperate dirges in our ears...
Colours become blind muses of imperfection
Dominant whores riding disgraced iron donkeys
Waving the flag of our impotence, sewn in corruption and
Pre-digested democracy.

I die in those streets every time I remember the sky falling over our history
I die in those streets every time I see those cracks in the wall
I die every time I see their smiling face on tv
I die every time I realize I cannot return the favor...
I die every time I see their flags waving in the sky

In the streets of Batajana...
