We're brothers,
I mean poverty and me!
Companions since the beginning of the story, even here in Europe
"He lives in west, not in exile!" they say
"You're famous", they say,
"Fie on this fame", I reply
"Fie on my father's soul who didn't leave any money,
He made wrong to have a child, as a penniless one", I say
Like a weed in the damned world,
Everyone looks down on me!
My hair turned grey for that damned exam!
Then, they threw you out of scene!
Everyone becomes a doctor, to prescribe
You feel sick, hating them all
One pretends to be your lover,
You find her as relief of your pains
But without money, love bears no price!
"Money isn’t luck star!" He said
"But you're ill-starred without money" I replied
Money is unclean and dirty, when it’s our turn
Seems I'm the bad-man in this story
Seems poverty is our honor!
By the way, I've no honor at all
I was a thief, like others, if I'd honor!
Now I've to die to record a track!
I would sing cock and bull, if I'd honor!
I would bend under the burden of their force in Iran
I say nonsense!
I say nonsense!
But it's fact, hard to believe
But it's fact!
You're right, sky is blue, where're you are!
It's about the earth, somewhere black, somewhere white!
It's about the earth, and those resting in wealth,
and those starving from hunger!
Some make money, no matter the way
It means needy ones have no choice, except to die
It means sounds and sound bites are useless
Words can’t relieve any pain!
You mean they can? So When?
Misery isn't jest, you know
Poverty means misery, no matter where you are
Any stupid brags about being wise to you!
Any coward brags about being hero to you!
You see those surrounding you and you feel sick
Sure you're above others, but you have no money, how sad
Without money, life is all shit!
The one with money flies and you stay
Without money, you're a stranger to your love
When she ignores you, don't ask why
Without money, you're nothing, it's better to die
When you have to borrow money to pay the rent of your house
And even your brother wants a bond to trust in you
And your friend is thinking about deceiving you
This is how you harbor a grudge against others
And you forget about the meaning of love and emotion
Everyone lacks something in his life, you know
No one is always happy, pain is for all
They're someone just for themselves
Those you see are nobody, they're just lie
If they’re men, I know about their wives
If they're women, I know about their cries
I say nonsense!
I say nonsense!
But it's fact, hard to believe
But it's fact!
