Gogol Bordello - Wonderlust King lyrics

Back in the day yo as we learned

A man was not considered to be

Considered to be fully grown

Has he not gone beyond the hills

Has he not crossed the seven seas

Yeah, seven seas at least!

Now all them jokers kept around

Just like the scarecrows in hometown

Yeah, scarecrows in hometown

From screen to screen they're travelin'

But i'm a Wonderlust King!

I stay on the run

Let me out

Let me be gone

In the world's beat up road sign

I saw new history of time..

New history of time!!

Through Siberian woods

Breaking up their neck

Chinese moving in building discoteques

Homemade sex toys and what not

Yeah, and why not?

Well at least it's something different

From what they got in every other airport..

Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge

sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga!

Simply because I'm not a total gadjo

Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?

I traveled the world

Looking for understanding

Of the times that we live in

Hunting and gathering First hand information

Challenging definitions of sin

I traveled the world

Looking for lovers

Of the ultimate beauty

But never settled in

I'm a Wonderlust King!

And presidents

And billionaires

And generals

They'll never know

What I have owned!

What I have owned..

I'm a Wonderlust King!
