"GHOSTS" lyrics

"GHOSTS"

Live it up live, live it up live
Live it up to live below
Give it up give, give it up give
Give it up then give some more

Wonder why, wonder why
Wonder why we're never gonna trust your bones
What a life, what a life, what a life
What'll life be when you see through them blue eyes

Peace signs, paid nice
Kings, they'll never know
Brown eyes, high rise, life size
Can't let it go

Keep-keeping us living in the shadows
Speaking up big with the lingo
Still talking that shit in a deep dark doze
You look through us like ghosts

You say that you see us but you don't
Say you're dying to listen but you won't
We'll tear down the statues made of stone
We're living facts that brown and black is gold

You say that you see us but you don't
Say you're dying to listen but you won't
We'll tear down the statues made of stone
We're living facts that brown and black is gold

Yeah, we gold
But tell me what, what, what do you know?
Do you know they swooped in like vultures
And colonised our cultures
And never gave back what they stole?

So, now who's in debt?
We're in debt
We wrote the song, but we never got a verse in this duet
Front cover went to the big titty blonde and the brunette
No, it ain't fair, it ain't lovely livin' life as second best
No, we ain't ghosts

You say that you see us but you don't
Say you're dying to listen but you won't
We'll tear down the statues made of stone
We're living facts that brown and black is gold

You say that you see us but you don't
Say you're dying to listen but you won't
We'll tear down the statues made of stone
We're living facts that brown and black is

Gold Rush, Whitewash
Riding in on the wave
Riding in on the wave
Nah, nah, nah
Turned back, stone-cold
Watching us sailin' away
Watching us sailin' away
Yah yah

Gold Rush, Whitewash
Riding in on the wave
Riding in on the wave
Nah, nah, nah
Turned back, stone-cold
Looking at us just the same
Looking at us just the same
Looking at us like we're ghosts

You say that you see us but you don't
Say you're dying to listen but you won't
We'll tear down the statues made of stone
We're living facts that brown and black is ghosts

You say that you see us but you don't
Say you're dying to listen but you won't
We'll tear down the statues made of stone
(Made of stone)
Yeah, we're living facts that brown and black is
