GORILLAZ LYRICS - White Flag

"White Flag"

(feat. Kano, Bashy & The Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music)



[Bashy:]

Hey

Look

Yo!

No castaway, no survivor

I ain't lost and this ain't shipwrecked

I feel small in this big wide world

and mommy ain't said 'Honey, I shrunk the kids' yet.

I ain't Jesus, but i'm walkin' on water.

There's no bums here, there's no wall cause:

I can break out of jail with a lighter,

so is there any point in makin' laws blood?

This ain't Atlantis, are you sure?

I nearly suffocated when I touched the shore.

No rain, condoms it poured and up the road

Up the road, you'll never guess who I saw.



[Kano:]

It's K. A. look, skip on the beat like Ali in the gym.

Honey, I'm home. This is where I wanna live.

Disbanded like leave-oh!

on the d-low.

I don't know if it's greener, but it's green though:

on the other side of the fence.

Bind to the ends.

Look:

No fence, no stress, no rent, no supervision shit,

this real flow.

Where the women look hot, but the beach cold,

and the speech goes like, "Hi little lady."

Sex on the beach, wanna try for a baby.

Word in the village, I'm a little bit crazy.

Swag up on a hundred degrees, not eighty.

Look, if heaven had a VIP

this is it: white sand, blue sea,

but I don't know who they are,

and I'm damn sure they don't know me,

but I come in peace!



[B:] Cool! White Flag! White Flag!

[K:] No War!

[B:] No Guns!

[K:] No Corps!

[B:] Just life.

[K:] Just Love

[B:] No Hate.

[K:] Just fun.

[B:] No ties.

[K:] Just me and my mind.

[B:] Just me and my wife.

[K:] But tell me if I'm dreamin'

'cause I don't wanna wake up till the evenin'

[B:] and I don't wanna be left sleepin'

from all the diseases

that I breathe in.

[K:] Look, respect the island, no stealin'!

[B:] and don't bring religion here, no three kings.

[K:] It's great and we ain't leavin'!

We come on in peace. Sing!

[B:] White flag?

[K:] White flag!
