Makeshift Swahili

guitar chords lyrics

This Heat

Makeshift she sings in her native German,
you try to understand what she's trying to say
She says "you're only as good as the word you understand"

and you, you don't understand a word
Tower of Babel, Swahili, it's all Greek to me
Bilingual, double Dutch, gift of the gab
We give you firewater you give us your land.
"White man speak with forked tongue",
but it's too late now to start complaining,
too late
Monosyllabic, hieroglyphic, et cetera, et cetera
New lamps for old
New lamps for old
Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb
Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb

New lamps for old
Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb
Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb
