birthday video of the day

By alice | September 25, 2008

It’s Gogol Bordello with I never want to be young again.

Here are the lyrics as they’re not that easy to make out and I think rather lovely and poetic.

By the desperate ‘n’ confused
Emotion of the youth
I was brought to crisis land
Where after getting checked for fleas
And barricades of embassies
I was sculpted to be overworked and silent

But since the early age
I broke out of the cage
And learned how to make marching drums
From a fish can
And I knew I’ll run away
And so without further delay
I said “two tears in a bucket
Mother**** it!”

And it seems like I ran and ran
Through the garbage and quicksand
And after getting checked for fleas
And barricades of embassies
I would never never never never
Wanna be young again!..

But sudden wind it stole my hat
And I went on chasing it
Before I was just another burned out carnie
Every freak on every day
Lives a life one certain way
And that way is ain’t no nothin’ but a birthright~
