ASK (Always Seeking Knowledge) - Dance in the Shade [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Pursuit- of wealth causes wars said Hemmingway
Salute- people gone away, from Ghana to Norway
Or USA, where an entire generation is locked away
A modern day slave ship in the shape of a subway
Masquerade, far from what mainstream media portrayed
Nourish people with fear of the unknown, they’ll invade
But ask yourself, who was the first to engage in crusade
People punished by the state- suffering from a blockade
Figured that you have the power once people are afraid
But forgot that the will of people is sharp like a blade
Come out in the light, no need to dance in the shade

Buried in the bricks of the world, sleep well lil’ girl
You are perfectly imperfect, you are indeed a pearl
Feel you are full of fear & fire, like a fire whirl
Condemned to live a lifeless life in the line of fire
Why wouldn’t you be the one to shine & admire
Preach to the choir, cuz you won’t ever reach a liar
Although forgotten, don’t forget, loyalty doesn’t expire
A middle finger for the one who says ‘don’t aim higher’
Don’t back down on your dream or rights- out of politeness
And at the end of the day- don’t follow- but be the righteous
Trust, this advice is priceless, in a world so mindless

Buried in the bricks of joy, sleep well lil’ boy
Kids ain’t supposed to play with guns but a toy
Am I guilty, my tax money paid for that bomb
So somehow responsible for murdering your mom
Seek forgiveness from above, not through a song
Can’t convince one who intends to misunderstand
Can’t communicate with crooks who stole the land
Bailout banks, but brothers failed the West Bank
Cowards spread democracy through tanks, thanks
