Another Country Songtext
von Meshell Ndegeocello

Welcome to my volcano
I just watched the earth make itself
The earth owns itself
I choose to live on her

Welcome to my volcano
Her most feral and free emissions
This volcano belongs to the earth
And so I squat here
I feed the birds
I watch the seeds grow from bird poop
I watch the sea creatures nest in its crevices

I feed the birds
I watch the seeds grow from bird poop
I watch the sea creatures nest in its crevices
I watch the volcano reenact the beginning
I watch the volcano reenact the beginning


Welcome to my volcano
I just watched the earth make itself
The earth owns itself
I choose to live on her

Welcome to my volcano
Her most feral and free emissions
This volcano belongs to the earth
And so I squat here
I feed the birds
I watch the seeds grow from bird poop
I watch the sea creatures nest in its crevices

I feed the birds
I watch the seeds grow from bird poop
I watch the sea creatures nest in its crevices
I watch the volcano reenact the beginning
I watch the volcano reenact the beginning


Were it up to me
I would share this garden
Sounds to me to eat is greed
To eat red is to eat yellow
Gold brown, red brown
More greed grows inside
Make more love, never grieve
Were it up to me

Were it up to me
I would grant a pardon
Love is surely making me
Or maybe making someone else go
Red brown, gold brown
More machines grow inside
Make more loving machines
Were it up to me

Were it up to me
Were it up to me
I would share my garden
Love is surely making me
Or is it letting someone else know?
Red brown, gold brown
More greed
Red brown, gold brown
