Gogol Bordello - John The Conqueror (Truth Is Always The Same) lyrics

[Gogol Bordello - John The Conqueror Truth Is Always The Same lyrics]

The legend of high John the Conqueror

Hey John the Conqueror
Growing on the sunny side
I've heard about you
From people of a healing kind

People of a healing kind
They said your name I need to call
If I'm sick or down in trouble
Or need anything at all

So I went on a mighty highway byway ride
And dancing on the roadside
Guess who did I find

I said 'Hey man, what's you name?'
And he said 'Think about, think about it
'cause truth is always the same'

Living and loving truth is always the same
Living and loving the rest is insane

John the Conqueror was nowhere to be found
So I asked about him
People of the mystic kind

People of the mystic kind
Said he's no secret at all
If you broke or down and out
Or need anything at all

So I traveled world around me
I went back inside and dancing on my ribs
Guess who did i find?

I said 'Hey man, what's your name?'
And he said 'Think about it
Think about it
'cause truth is always the same'

Living and loving truth is always the same
Living and loving the rest is insane

So gather round, people gather round here

Living and loving truth is always the same
Living and loving the rest is insane

America's people truth is always the same
Russian people truth is always the same
Asian people truth is always the same
African people the rest is insane
