And In The Bushes Where They Survive Songtext / Lyric

And in the bushes where they survive

The winder hail and the slaughter

The birds were attacked by the dogs and the rats

Hiding round every corner



When you're a rat caught in a trap with not even cheese you get mean



But we are not rats



When you're a rabid dog you need to spread your disease



But we are not dogs



When you're a man and they say you should be an angel



We're not even human



When you're less than nothing



Less than nothing



Less than nothing as sure as the sparrows sing






If wishes give us power to make it all come right

If we could walk through mirrors

IF we could touch the light

We'd shrug off our illusions and what was left would be

Te strength and bravery

To feel what we feel

And be what we'd be...



Of all the woman none can hold a light to liberty



With wings to fly and eyes to see



She's the one who loves us

The one that we adore

When you're laughing with the sun out

Or lying wounded in a dug out



With wings to fly and eyes to see

Freedom is her name



She makes a fearsome ally

If you stand up with no shame



But liberty is nothing if you love her on your knees



And liberty can't hear you when you're hanging from an olive tree!



If we don't founder in pursuit luxury

In forgetfulness of others needs

And in the depths of our own believes



If we don't hide in that solitary dream

Safe in our shells

In respect for the powers that be

And in fear of our selves



If wishes could come true

If mirrors could be seen through

No more mystery

Only the strength and bravery

To help one another

To see what its like to be...

Happy!

No bird needs to be afraid

To leave his nest and to parade

Up and down the boulevard all day,

All day, all day!

No bird must be greedy

And eat up all the seed

'Til every bird has had enough,

Every bird

Be he rich or be he poor

Be he great or be he small

Every bird, every bird, every bird, every bird

Will go to the ball



If this life's a journey we take



If the secret the sharing cake



Holds the key, holds the key to joy



And unlocks these doors inside



Where Republic must surely hide



If wishes really could come true



If we see through the illusions



And abide by the constitution



There'll be human rights for everyone



Unique and universal



For everyone

Under the sun!



If we are not lost in these towers of ivory

In respect for the strong

And in fear of our need to belong

The promise of Republic lies within

Ça Ira



Ça Ira!
