lyrics

Punk’s not dead
Rock’s not dead
Jazz ain’t dead baby
The money bastards can try
But they’ll never win
You pat me on the back,
Say “leave it alone”,
you say that “things have changed”
Well you ain’t seen nothing yet
Hammer or blade? Take your pick!
My weapon fires tritone bullets

Hacking and slashing
Swinging and smashing
Tearing and swearing
On your mother’s grave

Umhlobo lwabantu (Tzigano!)
Abahambe bezula (Tzigano!)
Emazweni (Tzigano!)
Only two fingers to poke out your eyes

Dark horse, you know who you are
Broken bones are just a scar
Your heart’s on fire, and it's burning true
Flames lick the wounds, pulling apart and pushing through
Your back's against the wall, keep standing tall
Pay no mind to those who'd have you fall!
They’ll be dead before they’ve died,
Your fingers will bleed to fuel tzigano inside

Umhlobo lwabantu (Tzigano!)
Abahambe bezula (Tzigano!)
Emazweni (Tzigano!)
Only two fingers to poke out your eyes

He’s the Punk Gitan
