When Universes Collide
Gogol Bordello
When Universes Collide
(accoustic + accordion)
(accoustic only)
Why didn't you come when I beat my drum
And screamed off my head out into the night
Scared of the slums, afraid of the guns
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Don't wanna see the hoodlums fight
(enter accordion)
I was gonna come when I heard your drum
And you screamed your head off into the night
I grew up around different part of town
But even the universes collide
(queue drums)
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Even the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Even the universes collide
(number of instruments increasing further)
There was no letter No family matter
And by the castas we don't divide
It's just father told me tonight authorities
Preparing ethno-cleansing ride
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Preparing ethno-cleansing ride
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Preparing ethno-cleansing ride
Two helicopters with machine guns
Over the slums proudly will glide
So when the universes collide
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side!
Hey hey hey, na na na na
When the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side
Hey hey hey, na na na na
When the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side
Hey hey hey, na na na na
When the universes collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Son, don't get caught on the wrong side
interlude
Why didn't you come When I beat my drum
And screamed off my head Out after the raid
Your mother told you
Or father stopped you
Or of the hospitals you are afraid
(repeat this next part twice)
Hey hey hey, na na na na
When universe will collide
Hey hey hey, na na na na
Don't get caught on the wrong side
(just accoustic + accordion)
