Rainin in paradise
Manu Chao · La RadioLina [2007]
Welcome to paradise
Today it's raining (x8)
In Zaire, was no good place to be
Free world go crazy, it's an atrocity
In Congo, Still no good place to be
They killed my buddy, it's a calamity
Go Maasai go Maasai be mellow
Go Maasai go Maasai be sharp (2x)
In Monrovia, this no good place to be
Weapon go crazy, it's an atrocity
In Palestina, too much hypocricy
This world go crazy, it's no fatality
Go Maasai go Maasai be mellow
Go Maasai go Maasai be sharp (2x)
Today it's raining
Today it's raining
Today it's raining
Today it's raining in paradise
Today it's raining (4x)
In Baghdad, it's no democracy
That's just because, it's a US Country
In Fallujah, too much calamity
This world go crazy, it's no fatality
Go Maasai go Maasai be mellow
Go Maasai go Maasai be sharp (2x)
Today it's raining (4x)
In Jerusalem
In Monrovia
Guinea-Bissau
Today it's raining (3x)
Welcome to paradise
Come to the fairy lies
Welcome to paradise
Today it's raining (4x)
