M.I.A. Songtext

von MIA.

You can watch TV and watch the media
President Bush doing takeover
Kate Moss in ads for mascara
All my youth, the young offender

The bill payers, the drug dealers
Girls who are on magazine covers
The part-time jobbers at a call center
No career plans 'cause you won't go far

Put away change for Ibiza
And check your credit on your new Nokia

You can be a follower, but who's your leader?
Break that cycle or it will kill ya

You leader, you lead
Come, do what you do now
What's really good that gonna happen to you?

Your prime minister to your employer,
Ego-lovers need more power
The trendsetters make things better
Don't sell out to be product pushers
The giro-cashier and baby maker
Try something new 'cause it ain't over
All poor people from all over
The lottery's got a rollover

You can be a follower, but who's your leader?
Break that cycle or it will kill ya

Cherokee Indians, Iraqi and Indians
Girls are my girls when it comes to the fellas then
Japanese, Moroccan, Caribbean, African
Life's your life
Oh, who the fuck's your president?

You no get my life cause I don't have a side, and I
Spread out boy, I'm a mile wide, and I
Got brown skin, I'm a West Londoner,
Educated, but a refugee still

You want a war? You're old, you go
You wanna fight? You suck, you blow
