lyrics

Love Your Motherland

We were young and just ordinary men
Didn’t think about the reason or the cause
We were narrow-minded, looked straight ahead
Never imagined that the world could explode

Now we’re crying...

Open up your eyes if you love your motherland
Not the same as the one we lived in
What have we avoided in our motherland
For not loving the human being

Is it time to pretend that we don’t care
When a riot can give a chance to believe
Revolution is not a trench warfare
Give us your hand, there’s a freedom to retrieve

And we’re crying...

Open up your eyes if you love your motherland
Not the same as the one we lived in
What have we avoided in our motherland
For not loving the human being

about

- Motherland - Annecy, France

Sous l'influence d'une scène mancunienne (New Order, The Smiths, …) ou pop folk américaine (R.E.M., ...), MOTHERLAND ressuscite les fantômes des eighties pour en faire un mélange unique, la pop-song idéale en ligne de mire.
