Asian Dub Foundation - New Way, New Life Lyrics
Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zamanEvery sunday morning in front of the tvRecording with a microphone naya zindagiPioneer gurdas maanNusrat fateh ali khanKept our parents aliveGave them the will to surviveWorking inna de factoriesSometimes sweeping de floorUnsung heroines an heroesYes they open de doorThey came a long time agoBut now it seems weve arrivedNaya zindagi! naya jeevanNew way new lifeStayed an we fought an now de futures open wideNew way new lifeNaya zindagi! naya zindagi!New way new lifeNaya zindagi! naya jeevanTjinder pon de radioDis is englands new voiceCensorship for yearsBut now dem have no choiceRunning thru de playgroundWe could never have knownDat in de futureOur role models would be home grownAnd now were walking down de streetWid a brand new prideA spring inna de stepWid our heads held highYoung asian brothers an sistersMoving forward, side by sideNaya zindagi! naya jeevanNew way new lifeOur opportunity will no longer be deniedNew way new lifeNaya zindagi! naya jeevanAnd were supposed to be coolInna de dance our riddims ruleBut we knew it all alongCos our parents made us strongNever abandoned our cultureJust been moving it alongTechnology our traditionInnovation inna the songNow de struggle continuesTo reverse every wrongNew heroines and heroesInna de battle we belongWhen we reach de glass ceilingWe will blow it sky highNaya zindagi! naya jeevanNew way new lifeStayed an we fought an now de futures open wideNew way new lifeNaya zindagi! naya zindagi!New way new lifeNaya zindagi! naya jeevan
