Christopher Columbus Lyrics - Hotel Shampoo - Gruff Rhys

I dream of freedom, 

See no rhyme, 

In your reason to resist, 

Resist the power, 

By the hour, 

Ask the people to assist, 

In isolation we were beautiful, 

Cultured and content. 

Civilization bought diseases, 

Now we breathe your devil scent, 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

After 1492, 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

You had a lot to answer fortunately, 

Me and you are through.

Hope over reason, 

The last bastion, 

Of division and dissent, 

Rebuilding bridges, 

Climb the ridges, 

Declarations of intent, 

If we could harness all the firepower, 

Turn it on itself, 

We could shine brightly 

Phosphorescent, 

Seize the life upon it's shelf. 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

After 1492, 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

You had a lot to answer fortunately, 

Me and you are through.

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

After 1492, 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

you had a lot to answer for. 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

After 1492, 

And just like Christopher Columbus, 

You had a lot to answer fortunately, 

Me and you are through.
