Wyclef Jean - Election Time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

My generation like we’re O.K
As long as we got music we can dance all day
…… ………………………
Election time is coming!
Come on!
We’re O.K.!
As long as we got music we can party all day!
…… you tube, we will rock all day, day, day…
Election time is coming!

Immigration, socialism, capitalism
Racism, health care, welfare
Seems that nobody cares
E-business, corporation, small business, taxation
Unemployment, education, my generation
Go to space station
So when you go ……
You can see all the natives
As they rebuild the nation
With fair trade everybody trades!
You trade, I trade and everybody trades!

Chorus:
Election is right around the corner
Who you’re gonna vote for?
We’re O.K.!
Election is right around the corner
What you’re gonna fight for?
We’re O.K.!
Election is right around the corner
Who you’re gonna vote for?
We’re O.K.!
Election time is coming
Do you wanna peace in the Lord?

Alternative energy or oil in the SUV
Tell me what you’re waiting for
We’re about to have it all!
Birth control, infrastructure
Agriculture, manufacture
Hip-hop, emo culture
Tell me what you think about it!
Technology, you’re following the policy
I………………….. to stimulate eternally
Raise our family, my life an my testimony
The King had a dreaming
He chose to be the President

Chorus:

As long as we got music we can party all day!

I wanna thank you all for coming to see me here!
You could have been anywhere, but you’ve chosen to come to the Asian Experience to see us
I go by the name of Wyclef Jean
Straight from Haiti
And that’s my brother Steph at the drums
