Bum bum bum bum
Bum-ba bum bum
Ba-bum bum ba, bum-ba
Pressure! Bursting out of me,
Pressing down on me, I need some love.
I’m under pressure – my bunker’s burning down,
No more human shields
To save my ass.
Bum bum ba-bum
Bum bum, I want
Day by day,
Day by day
That’s the way.
It’s the terror of knowing
That I’m about to get raped
The same way my friends
Achieved Eelam
Please sa-aave me, don’t bre-eaak me
Let me out, please – let me out, eek!
Day-by-day, oh oh
Da da da da da
Not ok
Stinking around, dead friends on the floor,
This is the way, I’m done for
Hee haw hee haw
(Mooo moo moo mooo)
Umba umbaaa
Umba umbaa umba
People on the streets – they’re running away
Human shields –they don’t love me no more no more
It’s the terror of knowing
That Eelam is gone
Watching my life’s work
Screaming “what the fuck?”
Oh these poppy seeds – get me higher high highhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(On the streets – no human shields)
Ran away from it all, those traitors
Shot at them, but it don’t work
I keep coming up with lies
But no one listens anymore
Why
Why
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????
Hate hate hate hate
The sinhalams laugh very genocid-allyTM
Can’t you give us, one more chance
Why can’t we give peace that one more chance
Why can’t we give peace give peace give peace give peace
give peace give peace give peace give peace give peace
‘Cos war’s such an old fashioned word
And war dares you to care for
The people shielding us from you goons
And war dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last chance
This is out last chance
Please save ourselves
No pressure
No pressure
Pressure
