Backpaka Baba Lyrics - Singles - Solefald

Crime's the other side of what's right 

Baba lives on the wrong side of the earth 

On a plain flat planet he would've been white 

Nobleman by name aristocrat by birth 

Selling shades on the beach by daily routine 

Matches the irony of your Western magazine 

Papayabananacakecoconutjuice! 

Baby with the basket pushes fruits and news 

While man came across the sea 

To change my under-developed diaper 

White man came across the sea 

To wipe my ass with tabloid paper 

I'm a passionate man help me first 

Ease my hunger quench my thirst 

Can you see yourself devoured 

I'll do anything to stay empowered 

Part of him feels like some new kind of Noah 

But all he can carry is some hectograms of Goa 

Big Mother Ocean shut the stereo down 

He travelled to listen not to see 

On Arambol Beach his guitar will soon sound 

When the last black man's crossed the sea 

His earth turned flat his passport photo black 

Backpacker Baba's never coming back
