Anni Kookoo Songtext
von Xavier Rudd

The places that we lived and the living that we did
The places we were put, the things we were given
The things that they took

But they took away our pride, and if they didn′t take our lives
They took away the things that made us feel alive

Said, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
Said, "Ooh, how did this become?
"How did this become?"

In old woman we flex from the East to the West
She thinks of her grandmother and her grandfather
And the strings that they had

Now she looks to the arm, saw them sniffing on their drugs
The drink in there has stolen so many souls
And flooded her sacred blood


She says, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, how did this become?"
"How did this become?"

She says, "Ooh, the bottle took away my son"
"It took away my son"
She says, "Ooh, where are we gonna run?"
"What have we become?"

She says, "Ooh, what have we become?"
"What have we become?"
She says, "Ooh, how did this become?"
"How did this become?"

She says, "Ooh, see the bottle took away my son"
"It took away my son"
She says, "Ooh, where are we gonna run?"
"What have we become?"
