《Natives》歌词

[00:00:00] Natives - The Rankin Family

[00:00:09] For all our languages we can't communicate

[00:00:19] For all of our native tongues we're all natives here

[00:00:30] Sons of their fathers dream the same dream

[00:00:40] The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream

[00:00:51] Voices in anger victims of history

[00:01:01] Plundered and set aside grown fat on swallowed pride

[00:01:11] With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives

[00:01:22] Missionaries pioneers are soldiers in disguise

[00:01:32] Saviours and conquerors they make us wait

[00:01:43] The fishers of men they wave their truth like bait

[00:01:53] With the touch of a stranger's hand

[00:01:59] Innocence turns to shame

[00:02:04] The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain

[00:02:35] For all of our languages we can't communicate

[00:02:45] For all our native tongues we're all natives here

[00:02:56] The scars of the past are slow to disappear

[00:03:06] The cries of the dead are always in our ear

[00:03:17] Only the very safe can talk about wrong and right

[00:03:27] Of those who are forced to choose

[00:03:33] Some will choose to fight

[00:03:37] For all of our languages we can't communicate
