A Kid
If you knew where I came from
You wouldn't talk to me for nothing
You'd take off your cap
You'd untie my hands
You'd give me a break at least until the day after tomorrow
You'd let me live here since you're also a kid
A kid, two kids, 6 billion kids
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
But you're a cop
Representative of the public force.
If you knew where I came from
You'd ask me if I'm okay
You'd offer me lunch
You'd untie my hands
You'd give me a break at least until next summer
You'd let me live here since you're also a kid
A kid, two kids, 6 billion kids
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
But you're a cop
Hungry for bandits, damn sold-out representative of the public force.
If you were where I was born
You'd wonder if everything is okay
So much time colonized
Now treated like a dog
You keep stealing from me, my people and my continent
You distribute money to my leaders
You sponsor dictators
You drain my land of its riches
For some promising deposits
Whole peoples in distress.
And you're a cop,
(yeah, you cut down the trees in my land)
Supposedly executing the will of the public authority.
(yeah, the weapons you sold in my land)
And you want me to hold you unaccountable?
But you are the arm of the idea,
And this idea without you, is just an idea.
And this idea without you, is just an idea.
A kid, two kids, 6 billion kids.
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
But you're a cop
Hungry for bandits, damn sold-out representative of the public force.
If you knew where I came from, you wouldn't act tough,
Your authoritarian self, the guy who tells me to shut up.
(6 billion kids)
You'd put down your contempt, you'd untie my hands,
You'd give me a break at least until the next century,
You'd let me live here with my wife and my kids.
A kid, two kids, 6 billion kids.
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
6 billion kids.
6 billion kids.
6 billion kids.
A kid, two kids, 6 billion kids.
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
Plus one, plus one
