Speaking In Tongues by Hilltop Hoods
Another war another martyr revered,
Passed the fear from their fathers then it's lasting for years,
Bullets don't discriminate the skin colour they pierce,
We speak the same language brother
love, laughter and tears,
Refugees trading death for a prison,
While some base a set of opinions on race, sex or religion,
C'mon, enough day to day stress of just living,
Without giving a fuck if they're hated just cause you're different,
Let's do it under the name of the love that became lost,
Dress it up how you want, we're cut from the same cloth,
Scars of hate, frowns stitched to our faces,
Can't escape the cage we forge, we've got bars to break,
For those living every bit of the struggle,
Given to hustle trying to figure how they fit in the puzzle,
Cause right now we're in pieces and peace is the people as one,
Till then we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come
I am, you are, we are one,
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
I am, you are, we are one,
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
Media is teaching the young, debate about belief in the one,
Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun,
While tax mans hands deep in your funds, raping your ones,
Money tight like we tweaking the drums it's like we speaking in tongues,
But no book burnings or church sermons,
I surf currents, my words burn like a dirt furnace,
Confusion leads and anguish sells,
But this music succeeds where even language fails,
To convey free honest expression,
It's a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression,
My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression,
Controlling crowds like demonic possession and ain't no time to invest in,
Biting the hand that created the platform,
Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song,
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one,
And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come,
I am, you are, we are one,
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
