Looptroop: Night train

I'm on a night train, from Moscow to St. PetersburgRight outside the wall in the bleeding worldWith the biggest band-aid cant' make the blood stopPart of the Fort but at the same time notIn the, blooming valleys of hopes and aspirationDreams are crushed by dope and desperation'Cause the West is blinded by the Fort andCorrupted by fame, money and fortuneKids kidnapped by rich pimpsSo that we can live out our sick dreamsStabbed in the back, tortured and rapedCan't go back home 'cause they're so ashamed, uhIt's a metaphor for the whole processThe poor take the losses while we make more profitsIn a world where the winner takes it allAnd happiness only appears in sitcomsWe're crossing the landscape and forcing the speedThe beat is meditative and I'm falling asleepAnd when I wake up the train is at the station andPeople rushing out I hear'em questioning lifeAgain and again wondering like[Chorus]Why am I here? I don't know man I'm stuck in limboWatching how the things go flashing byWhy am I here? You don't know looking out the windowIn a different lingo asking whyWhy am I here? They know 'cause our fingerprints showOr they think so, I travel lightWhy am I here? On a night train, on a night train[Verse Two]I'm on a night train from Copenhagen to BerlinEarly on the morning my head hurting from the bourbonShe's in the shower, in an hour we're on top of the fortWe're they be shopping for sport, but we be searchingFor something new with babystepsOne day, I might take her for a walk down the isleBut there's many rivers to cross and my lady says:Okay, we ain't had a chance to talk for a while and IKnow you love the feeling of leaving but it don't matter what countryOr what region of SwedenAll we got is us, and this is what I truly believe inSo I don't know 'bout you, I ain't runnin'I'ma find freedom in our everyday, lifeAnd make the most out of itWe don't know this might take us both outIf the train run off the track, crash and burnWe sat side by side, awaiting our turnAnd I'm smiling, you're right, but still...[Chorus]Why am I here? I don't know girl I'm stuck in limboWatching everything go flashing byWhy am I here? You don't know looking out the windowIn a different lingo asking whyWhy am I here? But they know 'cause our fingerprints showOr they think so, I travel lightWhy am I here? On a night train, on a night train[Verse Three]I'm on a night train from Tangier to MarrakechI ain't a rap star here man I don't speak ArabicThey looking at me like hell does he do here?But in a curious way, they celebrate new year'sWe had to escape the fort, living close to the borderWhat are we waiting for? Two hours from Algeciras, SpainThe port, the same, sunny beaches at the same resortsThat wash up refugees that they can't deportImmigration officer fill out a blank reportFamily; unknown, where to send the corpse?Wanna restart their life instead they end it offAnd the train keeps running down the lineAnd the world keeps flashin' by the windowLike we runnin' out of time, it's a feeling of freedom mixedWith the feeling of being trappedI feel like we travel to beat the mapStop the time, slam the brakes, jump out the frameFind a new place without a nameNew, at least to the white man, untouched and cleanI, soon find out a man, ain't no such a thingAnd the further we travel it begins to unravelHow the Europeans always wanted to be the king of the castleAnd how it effects all continents, how we lost respect and all common senseAnd the question remains:[Chorus]Why am I here? I don't know man I'm stuck in limboWatching how the things go passing byWhy am I here? You don't know sittin' by the windowIn a different lingo askin':Why am I here? They know 'cause our fingerprints showOr they think so, I travel lightWhy am I here? On a night train, well all right thenon the night train... come on!
