Hilltop Hoods, Chali 2NA, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra - Speaking In Tongues Restrung lyrics

Another war another martyr revered
Passed the fear from their fathers
Then it’s lasting for years
Bullets don’t discriminate the skin
Colour they pierce
We speak the same language brother love
Laughter and tears
Refugees trading death for a prison
While some base a set of opinions on race
Sex or religion c’mon, enough day to day
Stress of just living
Without giving a fuck if they’re
Hated just cause they different
Let’s do it under the name of
The love that became lost
Dress it up how you want
We’re cut from the same cloth
Scars of hate, frowns stitched to our faces
Can’t escape the cage we forge
We’ve got bars to break
For those living every bit of the struggle


Given to hustle trying to figure how
They fit in the puzzle
And right now we’re in pieces and
Peace is the people as one
Till then we’re treated like we’re speaking
In tongues so here we come

I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum

Media is teaching the young
Debate about belief in the one
Can make an eight-year soldier fall
Asleep with a gun
While tax man's hands deep in your funds
Reaping your ones
Money tight like we tweaking the drums
It’s like we speaking in tongues
But no book burnings or church sermons
I surf currents
My words burn like a dirt furnace
Confusion leads and anguish sells
But this music succeeds where
Even language fails
To convey free honest expression
It’s a problem trying to get
People to acknowledge progression
My goal is to leave
A lasting iconic impression
Controlling crowds like demonic
Possession and ain’t no time to invest in
Biting the hand that created the platform
Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one
And yet we’re treated like we’re speaking
In tongues so here we come

I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum

I would never hate someone for the way
That they layin' with someone else
(And if you do) The blame comes from the
Weight of the way that you see yourself
Take some of the weight off your
Plate by taking the hate away
And then maybe you’ll make your
Way to start loving yourself
Fear’s a cancer, logic is a countermeasure
A property that you can’t count or measure
I got a problem with people
Who got a problem with
The way that other people wanna live
(that’s their prerogative)
They’re mad at how you love
Where your prayers are going
Their anger’s like a drug
They’re mad at where you from
But fuck a redneck checking
If your visa’s valid
They act like pigs and chickens
I’m sick of Caesar salad
So we seize the mallet
And we swing on the ignorant
Can’t speak our language? Then we’ll see
If you can sing in it
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one
And yet we’re treated like we’re speaking
In tongues so here we come

I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum

They pick me up just to pull me down
March to different drums
Come from all around
It’s like we’re speaking in tongues
It’s like we’re speaking in tongues
They pick me up just to pull me down
March to different drums
Come from all around
It’s like we’re speaking in tongues
It’s like we’re speaking in tongues
It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We’re two sides of the same coin
We drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like
We’re speaking in tongues
So let me speak on the drum
