"Canals" lyrics

"Canals"

Bitch, you look so damn freaked
Ya can't eat, ya can't sleep, ya can't speak
You wanna scream, "Fuck the police!"
But the words are getting stuck behind your teeth
Yeah, I'm an outlaw, baby, with a southpaw view
Donald's a bitch and Vlad Putin is too
Like how can you stomach the shit that they do?
Just ask Pussy Riot what those girls went through, and it

It feels like someone took a crackpipe
Lit it with a torchlight
And threw it on a gasline, eh
And there is fire everywhere
Watch what they're doing to you
So tonight I'm gonna travel to a past life
And take on all the bad guys
And signal with a flashlight, like
Catch me if you dare

I don't fucking care
If you fucking care
No one's gonna live forever
So you better be prepared
I still wanna love
Love with my whole heart
Even though the world
Is slowly tearing me apart

(War, war, war, war
War, war, war, war)

Yeah, do you feel better now?
Have you settled up your score?
'Cause everything looks so strange
But, God, no, nothing has changed
Since the last time I asked you,
"What are we fighting for?"

It feels like someone took a crackpipe
Lit it with a torchlight
And threw it on a gasline, like
There is fire in the air
It's everywhere now
So tonight I'm gonna travel to a past life
Murder all the bad guys
And signal with a flashlight, like
Catch me if you dare

I don't fucking care
If you fucking care
'Cause I'm gonna live forever
So you better be prepared
I still wanna love
Love with all my heart
Even though the world
Is slowly tearing us apart

Yeah, it's tearing us apart, oh
Yeah

Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe
Nakupenda wewe
Basi aende
Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe
Nakupenda wewe
Basi aende (let them go)
Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe
Nakupenda wewe
Basi aende (I still love you)
Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe (I love you)
Basi aende (I love you)
Basi aende (let me go)
Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe
Nakupenda wewe
Basi aende (let me go)

Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe
Nakupenda wewe
Basi aende
Basi aende
Nakupenda wewe
Basi aende
Basi aende

I don't fucking care
If you fucking care
'Cause I'm gonna do whatever
While you sit around and stare
But I can stick around
For a little while
Until you fall asleep
That's when I'll disappear
Off into the night
The night where I belong
On my BMX bike
Pretending nothing's wrong
