Текст песни: Common Ground feat. Cyril Neville and Matt Lavelle + перевод

Mainstream media murderers

Killing your mind on prime time

You can turn off the TV

But it won’t stop the suffering

Shock and awful flash the cameras

The other side is less painful

Headlines scream silence

Entertains the status quo

We know the truth, its time to pass it down

Our future rests on common grounds

How far will we have to go?

If the waters keep on risin'

If we can’t reach common grounds

What will we stand on?

When the system fails

And the levees break

Will we salvage our roots?

Will we break these chains?

We know the truth, its time to pass it down

Our future rests, it rests on common grounds

Reach common grounds, while time still remains

We are the ones, lets break these chains

Let’s unchain our hands

And reach for common grounds!

(Spoken)

The watermark of a civilization crashed

Relief determined by color and class

See the signs the balance is off…

Pay the price, ignore the costs…

Rotted roots of our despair uncovered

Poisons seep deep inside

With broken veins the waters rise

While the shadowed reasons hide

Mainstream media murderers

Desensitize the tragedies!

You can turn up the TV

It won’t drown out the suffering

Let’s break these chains!

And reach for common grounds!

We know the truth, its time to pass it down

Our future rests, it rests on common grounds

Reach common grounds, while time still remains

We are the ones, lets break these chains!
