Paradise City

from Smegnificent by Smegma Brothers

/

lyrics

The right to live where I was born was taken by the war
Brother against brother, what are you fighting for?
My father told me: "Son, we have to leave our city now
Take your smallest suitcase and deal with it somehow"

They came to our city and slaughtered just for fun
My brother has been killed, forever he is gone
My father told me: "Son, someday we`ll reach a paradise"
I was young and full of hope, now I know it`s all a lie

I saw paradise city burning
And I realize the wind is turning
Burning bodies everywhere
Empty eyes and no one cares
I saw paradise city burning

We travelled through some countries, never heard about their names
And when I close my eyes all I see is flames
We reached the place to be, the promised land of liberty
They never learned from history, a racist place called Germany

I saw paradise city burning
And I realize the wind is turning
Burning bodies everywhere
Empty eyes and no one cares
I saw paradise city burning

And I don`t believe a word you say
You destroy the world to paint our future grey
And tomorrow it might be too late
When you burned it all where will you go when your home is in flames?

I see paradise city burning
And I realize the wind is turning
There`s no war paradise
Pretty girls and friendly guys
But I see paradise city burning
