Sublime – Rivers Of Babylon Lyrics 15 years ago
What I gather from The Melodian's original version of this song is that they were relating to the Israelites in captivity to their (African) enslavement in America.

Gogol Bordello – Immigrant Punk Lyrics 18 years ago
There's a line lifted from a Clash song in the last verse

"Of course we immigrants wanna sing all night long."

The Clash song is "Straight to Hell" and the part in that song goes:

"Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants. they wanna sing all night long.
It could be anywhere. most likely could be any frontier in any hemisphere."

Gogol Bordello – Not a Crime Lyrics 18 years ago
Spices, creation, realisation, naturalisation,
What are you talking about?
its all about time pressed through the day to day..

that's what I hear. probably not all right...

I believe it has to do with drugs and religion (most likely eastern religion. I.E. Buddhism, Taoism)

Spices(drugs), creation(religion), Naturalization, (drugs but also the the environment now being destroyed. Letting nature thrive is not a crime.

maybe i'm looking too much into it though...

Gogol Bordello – Punk Rock Parranda Lyrics 18 years ago
Some of the lyrics are wrong:

"We started new... punk rock Parranda.
(Ohh punk! Punk!)"

it's Ohh Fuck. Fuck!

"If music doesn't come from windows,
You know that something's definitely wrong, (It's fucking wrong!)
And all the cars, they pass in silence,
[Ukrainian]"

It's clearly not Ukrainian after that line...
it goes:

And all the cars (Cops?), they pass by in silence,
The rollerbladers who roll straight into morgue.

Not sure what that means...

"But man, they don't get mad!"

I think it's but mad--they don't get mad!
