In the mother toungue (demo) - MP3

Lyrics

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
bar keep, horse theif, acrobat
Rabbi, quaker, cigar maker
BA, DA, diplmat

I walk down the streets on friday
people pulling down their shades
don't know what they got against me
what they got they got in spades

what do you say, what do you say, what do you say boys
its about time to make it shine like its on fire
oh my brother
you who know me 
tell me something I'll understand
oh my mother 
if you love me
won't you tell me
mir mama loshen

what do you say, what do you say, what do you say boys
its about time to make it shine like the northern lights
oh my father
you who know me 
tell me something I'll understand
oh my sister
if you love me
won't you tell me
mir mama loshen
