Outernational - Fighting Song (Future Rock Mix) (USA)

about

Hailing from New York, Outernational channel the energy and political spirit of The Clash. Known for their radical politics and genre-bending sound, Outernational have shown themselves to be an inspiration for this generation. From passionate live performances to recordings full of poetry and worldy sounds, Outernational are a beacon for these times. Formed in New York during anti-war and immigrant rights rallies and quickly taken under the wing of Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), Outernational have relentlessly followed their vision to make revolutionary art and contribute to a new culture amongst the youth.

Never one to miss a fight, Outernational caused a storm when they traveled to Arizona to oppose SB1070, confronting the racist immigration law with a reinvented cover of Woody Guthrie’s “Deportees” (a Mexican-folk duet with Tom Morello) and a series of controversial live performances in the state.

lyrics

I see kids fighting to find a voice
They've been swimming in a sea
Without a shore or a choice
Sometimes it's like I'm without a home
Last night I walked
A thousand miles alone

Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai....

I walked and wandered
Paused and pondered
In these times
I can't live like this any longer
Your well is running dry
As the oceans rise
If I'm right we got one shot tonight

Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai....
This is a fighting song

I can't waste many moments
Can't lose any more days
I've read the history
We need more than a page
Each year in this life
Is like a blink of an eye
Tonight I tell you
It is fighting time

Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai....
This is a fighting song

All of our people
All across the world
They want something more

Look down at our planet
From the heavens above
See it as it is
See it as it is
No borders or banks
No wars or tanks
No nations, no nations
I've got my dreams when I sleep
And I've got these dreams that really could be

Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai dai....
This is a fighting song
Go!
