Lyrics Gogol Bordello

Gogol Bordello

Wonderlust King

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, them travelin'

But I'm a wonderlust king

I stay on the run, let me out, let me be gone

In the world beat up road sign

I saw new history of a time, new history of time

Through Siberian woods breaking up their neck

Breaking up their neck

Chinese moving in building discotheques

Building discotheques

Tran-Siberian sex toys and what not

Yeah, why not?

Oh well at least it's something different

From what they got in every other airport

Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge

Sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga

Simple because I'm not a total gadjo

Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?

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 a wonderlust king

I stay on the run, let me out, let me be gone

In the world beat up road sign

I saw new history of a time, new history of time

And presidents and billionaires and generals

They'll never know, they'll never know

What I have owned, what I have owned

I'm a wonderlust king
