Lyrics

A Tooth for an Eye (Cooly G remix)

[Verse 1]

Under the sun

Look what we have got

And those who haven't

Bad luck

We've been running 'round

Pushing the shopping cart

January 2012

Even in the suburbs of Rome

A brick in a castle

A camp for those on the run

Dance as weapons

Release my

[Chorus]

Eyes eyes eyes eyes tell me you

Some other kid is sucking on my thumb

Eyes eyes eyes eyes tell me you

Another kid needs to suck on my thumb

[Verse 2]

Under the sun

Picking piles of flowers for the flowers' pot

It's all that I've got

On my doorstep

A screaming hand

I'm telling you stories

Trust me

Rewrite history

To suit our needs

Open my country

A tooth for an

[Chorus]

Eye eyes eyes eyes tell me you

Some other kid is sucking on my thumb

Eyes eyes eyes eyes tell me you

Another kid needs to suck on my thumb

[Verse 3]

Border's lies

The idea of what's mine

A strange desire

Drawing lines with a ruler

Bring the fuel to the fire
