Interesting Times - Akira the Don

I watched women in Egypt crying tears of joy on my mobile telephone on the

overground from Hackney Wick to Camden on my way to buy my girlfriend an

engagement ring

«Living In The Future» I thought

The women were still crying tears of joy in Egypt when we switched the

television on in Stephen Hague’s flat in Paris

And when I switched the radio on, they were playing the ODB

Shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yam shimmy yay

Give em the mic or they will take it away

Them old tricks won’t work cos its a new day

Its a new level of the game and a new way to play

Ave, I say

PAX

DONICUS

Olé to every one of us

Cos they been bombing us

Bumming us

But they failed numbing us

And soon they’ll see that it is they that’s under us

They say the worlds gone crazy

Its amazing to me

If these the last days baby then I’m grateful to be

How fine

To live interesting times

We live in interesting times

We’ve more than money on our minds

We love each other how sublime

Yo live interesting times

We live in interesting times

I had this ring in a box, in my left pocket

It kept rattling

I was trying to stop it rattling cos I didn’t want to give away the fact that I

had a ring in a box

Paris is beautiful

But there is dogshit everywhere

I saw a dictator on a live stream

It was tragic

He thought he was the only motherfucker with the magic

He looked as if he never even dreamed of the day

When the people would come and take his powers away

But they never were his

They were just borrowed

A tissue for your sorrow

We’re living in tomorrow

Who knows what will follow

I just know what I saw

The thousands amassed

The next day there were more

They used the same words

The words filled with power

A vampire can only devour

And cower in the presence of light

And with many there is might

And you dont need a weatherman to tell when the night is nearly over

And day is dawning

Born and bawling

Six in the morning

The wind changed and some got stuck with the silly face

That couture dont suit you

We’re living in the future

They say the worlds gone crazy

Its amazing to me

If these the last days baby then I’m grateful to be

How fine

To live interesting times

We live in interesting times

We’ve more than money on our minds

We love each other how sublime

To live interesting times

We live in interesting times

Now this isn’t quite the end of the sotry

And I know some of you at home are wondering what she said

What do you think she said?

YES!
