Brett Newski - Colombia Is the Wrong Place to Lose Your Mind Lyrics
La CandaleriaWas streaming with colorsGraffitti, tags and gang signsWhen it got darkThe neighborhood kidsWere all urged to go back insideDon’t give no lipKeep a chin to the skyUnless they smell fear you’ll be fineJust keep it togetherIf you have to fake itColombia is the wrong place to lose your mindBack in the 80’sWhen things were much shadierPablo Escobar and the guysSniffed out a goldmineFor that life was cheapHe thought "Shit I'm robin hood of my time"Well I’ll kill me some richAnd rally the poorEverything will be fineBut he got so caught upHe surely forgot thatColombia is the wrong place to lose your mindWe’ll be happyWhen we start over in timeSometimes lost is the best place to find yourselfBut when you get lostRemember to bring your mindI walked right inThrough the barbed wire fencesAnd shook Pablo Escobars brother’s handSome tour group was putting on a circusAnd that no one could pretendHe told me back in his timeHe feared nothingand enjoyed the pandemonium in his lifeBut that letter bomb in the mailSure railed his ears and eyes and most of all his mind(Sittin in a hole, wasting away, living alone)Colombia’s the wrong place to lose your mindColombia’s the wrong place to lose your mind
