Masala Chai
Pour me another cup of masala chai
I want to taste a little sweetness before I die
Before I die, before I die
I want to taste some sweetness, a little sweetness before I die
When I was a young boy everyone talked of war
Although the war was over they talked about it more
About it more, about it more
Although the war was over they still talked about it more
When I was a young man the peace was finally won
Someone put a flower in the barrel of a gun
Of a gun, of a gun
Someone put a flower in the barrel of a gun
Now I’m not a young man and war is coming again
Smoke on the horizon and blood around the bend
Around the bend, around the bend
Smoke on the horizon and blood around the bend
Pour me another cup of masala chai
I want to taste a little sweetness before I die
Before I die, before I die
I want to taste some sweetness, a little sweetness before I die
Yes I want to taste some sweetness, a little sweetness before I die
