Tumi - Once Upon A Time lyrics

[Intro: Tumi] Aaaah Bring out the marching band Tumi, Zubz, Chinese Man Shhhh AaAAAaaah [Verse 1: Tumi] Once upon a time in this great land European settlers would set off on a cave man quest Dutch king summoning Jan Van Beek... The rest was Queen Elizabeth conquest As portrayed quite well by Cate Blanchett Great actress, wait I may digress ! Before that was pyramids and villages where pigmy little men and other such denizens rest Complex systems of living some fishing some building and others out k**ing Matriarchy where the kings were tribe women Painted art still seen today in tribe Symbols Its a cycle your beginning is your ending and your interim Your appearance is a historic coincidence But they link it to your incorrect conditioning Now everybody screaming racism as a consequence [Chorus: Tumi]: Bring out the marching band Let ‘em play an anthem for our continent You went and botched the plan Liberate the mind, but forgot the land Bring out the marching band Let ‘em play an anthem for our continent Why you dun' botch the plan Liberate the land, but forgot the man [Verse 2: Zubz] Feel the momentum of an unspent force A liberation found another one get lost Magazine kept while the gun get tossed Perpetual previsions of the sunset clause No wonder they demand more Nobody planned for Brazilian cuts in the pubic crotch of the land court In a Mexican stand-off Picture a poverty stricken finger Twitching on hair pin trigger And pause… Can't deny my stress I know better than to blame, the wild Wild West As to reign the higher address as a mind set Bigger the jail, the less serious the crimes get So the tumbleweed rolls through these empty streets They shot the sheriff all we have is the deputy And he definitely does not went to rock the boats So we work hard chopping, bloat, and forget we plead [Chorus: Tumi]: Bring out the marching band Let ‘em play an anthem for our continent You went and botched the plan Liberate the mind, but forgot the land Bring out the marching band Let ‘em play an anthem for our continent Why you dun' botch the plan Liberate the land, but forgot the man [Verse 3: Tumi] He bought a range but his aim's off for the plane But it ain't take off JFK straight shot Great Lakes paying for it, hate makes the air foggy NSA takes notice, play it safe same result So David Blane got the rainbow sold to y'all You can rise away till the Neuralizer tapers off Break a law, take a farm you get our your acres I'd sooner root for that than a handout with the arms embargo It'll be my own Zimbabwe so Colin Powell will swallow my bow and arrow and follow that With his chosen angle to photograph My a** know a power to recover from all of that, NASTY All about poverty playing that off happy Skin too thick in the middle tin o' acne cream or Vaseline You wait till them Somali kids Give you a take from that Bruce Wayne alley scene [Chorus: Tumi] Bring out the marching band Let' em play an anthem for our continent You went botched the plan Liberate the mind, but forgot the land [Chorus: Tumi] Bring out the marching band Let' em play an anthem for our continent You went botched the plan Liberate the mind, but forgot the land
