Lyrics for Makeshift

Makeshift she sings in her native German, You try to understand what she's trying to say She says "you're only as good as the word you understand" And you, you don't understand a word Tower of Babel, Swahili, it's all Greek to me Bilingual, double Dutch, gift of the gab We give you firewater you give us your land. "White man speak with forked tongue", But it's too late now to start complaining, Too late Monosyllabic, hieroglyphic, et cetera, et cetera New lamps for old New lamps for old Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb
