Sur o no Sur

South or Not South
To beast or not to beast, that is the bone.
(Measles Mom, this is contagious!)
I'm leaving because it's not possible here,
I'm coming back because it's not possible there either
I'm leaving because I'm owed here,
I'm coming back because they're crazy there
South or not south...
I'm leaving because it's not enough for me here,
I'm coming back because there's no hope
I'm leaving because they take advantage here,
I'm coming back because they kick me out there
South or not south...
(Excuse me, the Italian embassy?)
I don't know why what's happening to me is happening,
maybe it's old age
I would like to stay here in my house,
but I don't know which one is anymore
South...
(To port!)
I don't know why what's happening to me is happening, maybe it's my childhood
I would like to stay here in my house, but I don't know which one is anymore...
(I'm going to the embassy, I'm coming back because I'm not visaed
I'm leaving because I'm from around here, I'm coming back because I'm a South American
Malaya, what a sad fate, to be or not to be an Algerian
Malaya, what a sad fate, to be or not to be a maraschino...)
South or not south.
