Against the Nature

Gogol Bordello

Well I confess 
I had myself a good laugh 
Remembering times of 
My provincial naive

When I was ready 
To break horns of all the cows 
Just to establish myself 
As non-conforming 

Well, time has passed 
And I looked back with a different eye 
And thought it's time to 
Reenlist with wonder-why-guy
I reached-a for a pen to sign a peace treaty 
But suddenly got up 
And took to running wild 

Against the nature 
Against the grain 
For as long and as far as you can 
For only there lays entertainment 
For a heart of merry-lasting man 

What do you do my friend 
When you are done with 
Investigating bounds of reality? 
Creating hundreds of amendments 
For issuing of commandments 
Ready to shoot yourself 
Out of curiosity, but wait! 
There is a way
Ain't nothing new to say 
However

Against the nature 
Against the grain 
Run as long and as far as you can 
For only there lays entertainment 
For a heart of merry-lasting man  

I wake up in a night 
Turn on my lamp 
Should contemplate direction of my vector 
When I find small parcel from the lord 
Fruit basket sprinkled with nectars 
And there I sit and my legs are strong 
All quiet only voices dining fearsome 
I shove a piece of garlic down my throat 
Come on hop down the stairs come on 
You're all eternal falls of reason 

Against the nature 
Against the grain 
For as long and as far as you can 
For only there lies entertainment 
For a heart of merry-lasting man,
