Asian Dub Foundation - New Way, New Life lyrics

Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman Every sunday morning in front of the tv Recording with a microphone naya zindagi Pioneer gurdas maan Nusrat fateh ali khan Kept our parents alive Gave them the will to survive Working inna de factories Sometimes sweeping de floor Unsung h**nes an heroes Yes they open de door They came a long time ago But now it seems we've arrived Naya zindagi! naya jeevan New way new life Stayed an we fought an now de future's open wide New way new life Naya zindagi! naya zindagi! New way new life Naya zindagi! naya jeevan Tjinder pon de radio Dis is england's new voice Censorship for years But now dem have no choice Running thru de playground We could never have known Dat in de future Our role models would be home grown And now we're walking down de street Wid a brand new pride A spring inna de step Wid our heads held high Young asian brothers an sisters Moving forward, side by side Naya zindagi! naya jeevan New way new life Our opportunity will no longer be denied New way new life Naya zindagi! naya jeevan And we're supposed to be cool Inna de dance our riddims rule But we knew it all along Cos our parents made us strong Never abandoned our culture Just been moving it along Technology our tradition Innovation inna the song Now de struggle continues To reverse every wrong New h**nes and heroes Inna de battle we belong When we reach de gla** ceiling We will blow it sky high Naya zindagi! naya jeevan New way new life Stayed an we fought an now de future's open wide New way new life Naya zindagi! naya zindagi! New way new life Naya zindagi! naya jeevan
