Yaiyasmin - Floods in Pakistan


LYRICS:

If you wanna go blind just look at the sun
If you wanna die kill yourself with a gun
To get through this life you need to fight like a bull
Come out the other side a little more hopeful

When the flood comes jump on the wave
When the wind blows fly far far away
When the earth trembles move your feet to the shake
But whatever you do don't expect any help

Raindrops fall on my head when I walk
It ticks me off like a messed up clock
Harbor's locked got us looking for the dock
We have faith in God but no shoes and or socks
Even when it's pouring down cats and dogs
'Tis a difficult season that never stops
Now the ocean covers the ground to the top
It made us dense so we sink like a rock
What more can we do but in science we trust
Like Archimede's principle we hope for upthrust
Saw him floating round the town in his bathtub
Discovering yelling Eureka and such
Think I almost missed him cause of all other stuff

Oh boss what to do?
Shrug our shoulders "kya karu?"

A very very wet month of Ramadan
We fast cause there's nothing to eat in this dam
Put your yellow ponchos on from Disneyland
Boots and sanitizer on your hands
Come from the sea from faraway lands
For all the mighty sea we cannot see any land
I haven't even seen a single kind salaam
For all the mighty sea we cannot see any land

If you wanna go blind...

When the flood comes...

Noah can't be found anywhere
Fetch us if you happen to pass by here
One by one, two by two families are washed away
40 days is what it takes
Kids don't learn how to read or pray
The learn how to swim and they learn the hard way
Also how to shout, how to shout, how to shout
"Mayday mayday mayday"
Was are you sinking about?

I detect a probable shower
Let me see you swim like you come from Peshawar
Clouds pour tonight, and google earth don't lie
and I'm starting to criticize
what the UN don't do when
21 million people are drowning

Images from satellites, in the public eye
This discussion's politicized
We'll soon blame monsoon rain
Most of us never heard Ban Ki-Moon's name

If you think that you're tough try a month in Punjab
It's worse than the tsunami in the indian ocean
And that was all over newsflash CNN
Earthquake in Kashmir and Haiti 2010
so what are we to do then?

If you wanna kill a country start with the children
It's not one soldier's death it's 2000 civilians
If 40 dollars hurt try 43 billion
I'm only stating fact this is not my opinion

Jab selaab aya jump on the wave
Jab hawa urray fly far far away
Jab zalzala aya move your feet to the shake
Hum jho bhi karay don't expect any help

[BonaDun]

@Yaiyasmin

aren't you a clever little funny one using obscure references (obscure to me anyway :o)). Now I get your little 'heh' after that lyric.

Una preguntita : me resulta dificil imaginarte tocando las congas - dinos la verdad, VST percussion, o que?

[Yaiyasmin]

@BonaDun Tengo un tambor que me trajo un amigo mio cuando estuvo en la India, es bastante amatuer pero bueeeeeno, what to do boss?

[Yaiyasmin]

@BonaDun (PERO sips, las congas las hice en el programa de musica ....jaaaaa cheater)
