Ah ah ah ah

Ahhhh... WAR

Adi thadi ithu vali ethu vazhi?
அடி தடி இது வலி எது வழி?
(Hits + sticks, oh this pain, which way do we take?)

Adi thadi ithu vali ethu vazhi?
அடி தடி இது வலி எது வழி?
(Hits + sticks, oh this pain, which way do we take?)

Adi thadi ithu vali ethu vazhi?
அடி தடி இது வலி எது வழி?
(Hits + sticks, oh this pain, which way do we take?)

Ah ah ah ah

Pidivaathathai padum engalukkul poraamai en?
பிடிவாதத்தை படும் எங்களுக்குள் பொறாமை ஏன்?
(What is this jealousy inside of us that causes us to become so malicious?)

Ellorukkum varumai vanthathillaiyaa en?
எல்லோருக்கும் வறுமை வந்ததில்லையா ஏன்?
(Haven't we all faced poverty at one point or another in our lives?)

Ellorukkum annai thanthai illayaa en?
எல்லோருக்கும் அன்னை தந்தை இல்லையா ஏன்
(Don't we all derive from a man + a woman?)

Kai vettinaal iratham
கை வெட்டினால் இரத்தம்
(Don't we all bleed the colour red if we cut our arms?)

Irandu kann mooku vai satham
இரண்டு கண் மூக்கு வாய் சத்தம்
(Don't we all have two eyes, a nose + a mouth that makes sound?)

Naangal ellorum manithan
நாங்கள் எல்லோரும் மனிதன்
(We are all human)

Na-nangal ellorum manithan
ந-நாங்கள் எல்லோரும் மனிதன்
(We're-we are all human)

Na-na-na-nangal ellorum manithan
ந-ந-ந-நாங்கள் எல்லோரும் மனிதன்
(We're-we're-we're-we are all human)

Na na, na na
ந ந... ந ந
(We are, we are... we are, we are)

Naangal ellorum manithan
நாங்கள் எல்லோரும் மனிதன்
(We are all human)

ELLORUM MANITHAN
எல்லோரும் மனிதன்
(ALL HUMAN)

Humankind, where's the kindness in?
Humankind, where's the kindness in?
Humankind, where's the kindness in?

HUMAN-KIND
HUMAN-KIND
HUMAN-KIND

Holocaust... it was caused... by us.
World War Two... me + you... we're through.

Racism in our faces
What's the difference?
Different places?

Do you know that our DNA
Is 97% the same
By the way?

So they create a "no fire zone"
And thousands of innocent people are running right?
For safety

And then they kill them all

How is that different from the Holocaust?

Do we not learn from the past?

If we don't, history repeats itself

WAR

And here we go again with Brexit
"Get out!"
"This is mine!"
"You're different!"
"Take back control!"
"Go back home!"

When will we realise
That underneath all that fear

We're actually all just the same

(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
(The same)
