Art Of Riot
Nu-Nation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if I bring colors in the place?
What if I spit in your fucking face?
What if I declaim my poems now?
Call me an extremist, bring me down

Celebrations, exultations
For weak and proud
Prophecies of extinct nations
Worn so loud
Look at yourself! Adaptation
Leading only to frustration
There’s no doubt

What if I condemn the police state?
What if I wake you up before too late?
What if I tell you to kiss my ass?
Pacify me, spray the riot gas

No patience, no illusions
Final fight
It’s an obvious solution
Art of riot
No patience, no illusions
It’s an obvious solution
Art of riot

Будь честен сам с собой, будь смел
Презирай тех, кому нужна власть над твоим разумом




Пойми, что только твой личный мир достоин того, чтобы жить в нем
И тогда может быть ты наконец избавишься от страха смерти
