Nomads Revolt Lyrics

We go down to throw rocks at the river
Curses at the parade
We're the stone in the gears of the clockwork
Try to keep us from acting our age.
We swore we'd carry on like this forever
Til the free spirits fled.
But now can you believe who's a mother
And that so-and-so's cut off their dreads.
Kill off Columbus
And turn the world around
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
Used to give most of the bread to the landlord
Leave the crust for the squats.
Now the death wages we pay the bankers

Seem to kill all the flies in one swat.
Hear the wedding band strike up a number
Yeah they're playin' our song.
Hold your breath guys, we're gonna go under
Get the little ones singin' along.
Kill off Columbus
And turn the world around
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
Kill off Columbus
And turn the world around
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
But way
Not to so-and-so
Said he'd never change
Said he'd never grow
He'd stay
Always on a roll
Run beside the train
To the mossy stones.
Now there's more hope than ever
And it's all fallin' down
And the rebels are runnin' for mayor
In your hometown.
As the nomads are dropping their anchors
Fallin' into the sea
And I stopped throwing rocks at the river
Now you'll find me a'swimmin' upstream.
There is power in unions of ramblers
That got nothing to own.
But there's more in one fist-swinin' mother
Swearin' my children shall never be sold.
Kill off Columbus
And turn the world around
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
Kill off Columbus
And turn the world around
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
After all
The nomads are settlin' down.
Out of the garden
We multiply
Telling our stories
May all the old ways die.
