My brothers from Brondby Strand, Outlandish, have put out a new record: Closer Than Veins. For the first single "Look Into My Eyes" they came up with a beautiful video (that apparently can only be shown in Denmark, go figure). You just have to see it. Go to the site and click "media."
Here are the lyrics.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We at El-Moro High are happy to present our interpretation of the classic folk tale Little Red Ridinghood.
So, please, enjoy.
Look Into My Eyes
Look into my eyes Tell me what ya see U don’t see a damn thing Cuz u can’t relate to me
U blinded by our differences My life makes no sense to u I’m the persecuted one U the red, white and blue
Each day u wake in tranquility No fears to cross your eyes Each day I wake in gratitude Thankin’ God He let me rise
Ya worry ‘bout your education And the bills u have to pay I worry ‘bout my vulnerable life And if I’ll survive another day
Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket As ya cruise your Cadillac My fear is that the tank that’s just left Will turn around and come back
[Bridge and chorus:]
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind Is this a truth that nobody knows
Someone tell me
Oh let’s not cry tonight I promise you one day it’s through Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters
Oh shine a light for every soul That ain’t with us no more Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters
See I’ve known terror for quite some time 57 years so cruel Terror breathes the air I breathe It’s the check point on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land And the torture of my mother The imprisonment of my innocent father The bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks The gasses and the guns The bombs that fall outside my door All due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself Against the ways of my enemies I’m terrorized in my own land What, and I’m the terrorist
[Bridge and chorus]
America do ya realize That the taxes that u pay Feed the forces that traumatize My every living day
So if I won’t be here tomorrow It’s written in my fate May the future bring a brighter day The end of our wait
