about

this is a song for the Chagossian people!!

lyrics

we don't need war
we don't need politics
we don't need domination
we don't need suffering
(ayez courage)

all we need is love, home, and understanding
sing for justice and peace and love and life
(solidarité)

welcome to fantasy island
this is where tall grasses grow
ivy of generations hugging
cemeteries loved from too far away

abandoned but never forgotten
tombstones worn and pitted from too much waiting
volleyball in a broken churchyard
where babylon armies go sunbathing

welcome to justice camp
this must be their fantasy
is it the bureaucratic destroyer
killing off lives with the flick of a pen?

gunshots studding the night and day
pina colada under the coconut tree
coconut husks falling and cracking
like the heads of forgotten people

on est des peuples qui était déraciné
et puis on a retrouve une nouvelle vie
mais après des generations cette vie était encore anéanti
on n’a pas besoin des gendarmes ou des militaires
on n’a pas besoin des armes a feu
on a besoin de l’amour et la vie
c’est tout ce sont toutes qu’on a besoin

our justice is not your fantasy

we don’t need no politics no wars no domination
no man or woman or living being above or below any other
we don’t need no money hungry famine pain and poverty
we don’t need no suffering anymore in this world
all we need is love and understanding
sing for peace and love and life
