John The Conqueror (Truth Is Always The Same) – Gogol Bordello
By
The legend of high John the Conqueror
Hey John the Conqueror Growing on the sunny side I’ve heard about you From people of a healing kind
People of a healing kind They said your name I need to call If I’m sick or down in trouble Or need anything at all
So I went on a mighty Highway byway ride And dancing on the roadside Guess who did I find
I said ‘Hey man, what’s you name?’ And he said ‘Think about, Think about it, ’cause truth is always the same’
Living and loving Truth is always the same Living and loving The rest is insane
John the Conqueror Was nowhere to be found So I asked about him People of the mystic kind
People of the mystic kind Said he’s no secret at all If you broke or down and out Or need anything at all
So I traveled world around me I went back inside And dancing on my ribs Guess who did i find?
I said ‘Hey man, what’s your name?’ And he said ‘Think about it, Think about it, ’cause truth is always the same’
Living and loving Truth is always the same Living and loving The rest is insane
So gather round, people Gather round here
Living and loving Truth is always the same Living and loving The rest is insane
America’s people Truth is always the same Russian people Truth is always the same Asian people Truth is always the same African people The rest is insane
