Zywa Extinction

Flowers and insects, so many are gone
     Lives pass away, it is easy to see
Stop it, don't do it, don't let it go on
     Foreigners, friends, all our family, we

Businesses stop and employments will end
     Lives pass away, it is easy to see
Borders and shops being closed, it's a trend
     Foreigners, friends, all our family, we

All of us know, don't you see, don't you sense it?
     Lives pass away, it is easy to see
When are we willing, when shall we commit?
     Foreigners, friends, all our family, we

People who flee, many starve, many drown
     Lives pass away, it is easy to see
Peoples and nations come up and go down
     Foreigners, friends, all our family, we

Angels and trumpets are still on the loose
     Lives pass away, it is easy to see
Shall we count down, or say bo to a goose?
     Foreigners, friends, all our family, we

Zywa Along the railroad-track

Let's run away, not run to death
And scare the wolves with all our breath:
Heyy hoo Captain Jack!
Meet me at the railroad-track!
Your left, your left!
Your left, right, left!

Let's march and move along the track
To save us from that ruthless pack
So shout it out in a duet:
We're almost home now!
We're almost home now!
But not quite yet so yet!

You can leave, you can stay, if you're sneezing off the hay
You can leave, you can stay, make a choice without delay

You can leave, you can stay, we'll come help you straight-away
You can leave, you can stay, if you don't forget to pay

You can leave, you can stay, otherwise you'll be our prey
You can leave, you can stay, but you cannot get away

You can leave, you can stay, so we cry, we laugh, and play
You can leave, you can stay, it's a kind of cabaret

You can leave, you can stay, one can do a lot with clay
You can leave, you can stay, what about your over-weigh?

You can leave, you can stay, you may dance the pounds away
You can leave, you can stay, better eat an apple a day

You can leave, you can stay, even if you're old and grey
You can leave, you can stay, grandpa seems to look okay

You can leave, you can stay, life is not a holiday
You can leave, you can stay, yet we shout hooray hooray
