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 gonna beyond the hills
Has he not crossed the 7 seas
Yeah, 7 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 discotheques

Trans-Siberian sex toys and whatnot
Yeah, and why not?
Oh, well at least it's something different
From what they got in every other airport

Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozhe
sovrat' ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozha!
Simply because I'm not a total gadjo
Da ja shut, ja tzirkatch, nu tak chto zhe?

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 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!
