Cities that never sleep
For the lovers that meet
make our home in these western playground
western playground
for the children of migrancy
dual Heritage legacy
make our home in this western playground
western playground As mother earth calls
we are all complicit in our downfall with our backs to the wall
the machine it conquers us all
for the cities that never sleep
for the lovers that meet
make our home is this western playground
western playground

1st Verse
Bevi hai bhachai hai kaam kartha hai
jai hai rhai ghia jai hai rehan ghai
bachai purtha ghai licka ghei kaam kara ghai
jai hai rhai gai jai hai rhai gai
Allah hai Shiva hai Budda hai jah hai
buthameez hai ghuda hai kafir hai
(above verse ruff English translation-
I have a wife I have work here we are and here where we stay
children will read and write and work here
and will stay
Allah is here Shiva is here Buddha is here Jah is here
bad people are here God is here faithless are here
chorus repeats apart from the last two lines replaced -And you know we dance
we dance to the beats

musical break…..

2nd verse Bathameez(bad peoples)
your phone is always on
your spending all your profit
from the dust to dawn
calling on the Babylon Babylon on For the real G’s
Never did time
life’s of crime
living hypocrisies in time
the paradox of these lives in rhyme for the children that will raise their stand
have you took a stand in no man land
for those messed up damn
Babylon damn damn damn them

repeat chorus…..
