Santa Claus is a shaman he is a real real man He's on the hunt in north siberia for the amanita muscaria The Evenki are a tribe who live around the arctic circle What for us seems magic is for them quite normal To go around the land and carry all their gear They don't ride horses, they ride reindeers The shaman once noticed the reindeers appetite For the mushroom under the tree, colored red and white. The fungus showed him worlds, taught him a new rite He would lay around with Rudolf, and fly all night. Santa Claus is a shaman he is a real real man He's on the hunt in north siberia for the amanita muscaria He ride his reindeer, with no fear To bring all his tribe, knowledge and bliss So they could feast on mushroom for christmas To have the mushroom dried and ready to eat He would hang them high in what we call the christmas tree He would go door to door to bring the special treat If there is too much snow, he'll use the chimney The winter solstice comes for them with three days of darkness On the 25th the sun is born, let's have a trippy mass Santa Claus is a shaman he is a real real man He's on the hunt in north siberia for the amanita muscaria He ride his reindeer, with no fear To bring all his tribe, knowledge and bliss So they could feast on mushroom for christmas

Éthernité 03:58
I know that you know that I know That we know, where to go And I know that you know that I know That we know where to go Our time, our time is coming soon Our day doomed Je ne sais pas, par où commencer Pour te décrire l'Éthernité Chante-moi ta toune, amène-moi sur ta balloune I just don't know where to start, to bring you close and take you far Sing me your song, let's find a home

I know 03:22
You think Im staring at the wall, I see things that you can not see. You think Im lurking around, Cosmic Security. You feed the dog he thinks your his god, you feed me, Im your god. I don't belong to you, you don't belong to me together let's be free. I know, I know, I know I just Know You think Im sleeping, Inter-dimensional working. You think Im purring, Vibration healing. You feed the dog he thinks your his god, you feed me, Im your god. I don't belong to you, you don't belong to me Together let's be free. I know, I know, I know I just know.

Non mais qui je suis pour me prononcer, prétendre détenir la vérité. Pour qui je me prend, emprunter les outils Et façonner une autre réalité. Aller ben loin pour se rendre compte, Qu'on a la vérité à portée de main. Sur quelle musique les étoiles dansent ? Oui la roue tourne, mais de quel sens ? Dit moi pourquoi, mais plutôt pourquoi pas, Pourquoi la magie n'existerait pas ? Les réponses amènent plus de question, Tu poses les bonnes, enweye à maison. Plus de réponse, plus de question, Tu fermes les yeux, enweye à maison. Ton Shaman, ton prophète, ton sauveur, Se trouve dans ton coeur.

Green Rush 03:54
t was north of the border, for the Green rush, Cowboys riding trucks and pushing their luck. I was north of the border for the green rush, The fools gold grows in the bush. Growing dope on crowns land, not a pound for the queen not a buck for the man. The money stay in community's hand Building skateparks and restaurants. It use to be the good old days in the far west, Now the business mens gonna have the best. Legalisation might sound good, Till you know whats going down in the neighborhood It was north of the border, for the Green rush, Cowboys riding trucks and pushing their luck. I was north of the border for the green rush, The fools gold grows in the bush. Local economy has been saved, Now they don't know where to put the brakes. Industry leaders will take the cake, Little farmers will lick the plate. They're only in it for the money, They got clean hands but their mind is dirty. We all know it doesn't grow on trees, But it sure grows off a plant. Where the mountains dance with the emerald sky, The lakes are black like a dead moon night. Crystals in the river flowing, Valleys are crossing and drifters are coming Valleys are crossing and drifters are going.

Ma grand-maman a demandé à sa maman mais comment s'tu fait pour tuffer jusqu'à 100 ans Elle lui répondit qu'à tout les matins elle se lève et elle se dit : "Bon ben un autre journée ! " Un autre journée pour être en forme se lever tard avoir du fun, il fait beau il fait soleil de la musique dans les oreilles. Une autre journée sur la plage la vue d'un beau paysage. Une autre journée, une autre journée, une autre journée Ma grand-maman a demandé à sa maman mais comment s'tu fait pour tuffer jusqu'à 100 ans Elle lui répondit qu'à tout les matins elle se lève et elle se dit : "Bon ben un autre journée ! " Une autre journée pour avoir mal se lever tard mais pas trop fort, y pleut sa pue sa fait triste, tu te fais pogner par la police. Une autre journée malheureux même le chien est moins boiteux. Une autre journée, une autre journée, une autre journée. Ma grand-maman qui a finalement eu cent ans, On y a fait un méchant gros party. Tout les petits-enfants étaient invités, Elle était très très enjouée. L'année suivante elle était moins contente, Le party n'avait rien de l'année passé. Elle est donc partie pour le grand voyage, Un allé simple vers les nuages. Bon ben c'est fini, J'men vais au paradis. Ah pi mange tes croûtes, Ah pi manges tes croûtes

Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume Nous autre on fume le calumet Vient par icitte pi fait la paix Les ptits yeux même si il pleut Dans notre tête le ciel est bleu Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume Insomniac épileptique Pas besoin de produits chimiques Haut perché ça donne des ailes On chante comme des Hirondelles Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume Du plastique de la gazoline C'est même bon pour la déprime Donnez-y la liberté Vous allez voir notre monde changer Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume On le plante et on le récolte Pas besoin de protocol Du Pérou Jusqu'au Magreb Ça pousse comme de la mauvaise herbe Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume Si tu roules un barreau de chaise On va chanter jusqu'à Sainte-Thérèse Si tu roules un gros bio On va chanter jusqu'a Dolbeau Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume Si tu roules un aiguillon On finira la chanson Si t'en roules pas pentoute Tu passera par mon boutte Nous autres on fume fume fume On le roule pi on l'allume
