lyrics

WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
There's more to this than meets the eye
I've you plant the seeds to criticize
I bet you, you want to see me fall and be wrong
but I bet you there's still a million ways we could still get along...

I should have left should have been right
I should have made time to have been there I would have been a better lover
Should have tried for some give and take shouldn't have lied should would have been mine I would have been a better brother
Should have cried should have called back
Should have fought back should have calmed down
I should have found a little time
should have this should have that should have been born black
Should have never left London motherfucker

Who do you think you are? Who am I and you to me, so who are you afraid of?
Who d you think you are? Who decided you could preach? Who are you afraid of?

So is this the whole deal? Are these all the things you want me to bring to the table?
You've come to see me morally wrong, but you're the monkey on my back,
I've got to stay strong...

I should have called I would have come back
I should have fought back should have found gold I would have been a little tougher
I should have bought a gun then I wouldn't feel obliged to hear your lies all the time
I should have tried to be more kind should have called foul should have lived right I should have tried a little crime
Should have this should have that should have been born black
Should have never left London motherfucker

There's no mystery left...you stole the mystery left...
Should have been this, should have been that...don't ever spend a penny for the monkey on you back
Who do you think you are?

SIMPLIFIRES Mexico City, Mexico

SIMPLIFIRES are an anomaly existing, writing and recording
in the vacuum that is Mexico City's contemporary RocknRoll culture.
The scene is vibrant and alive, but it is not suffocating or focused on any trend.
All sorts of music and life exists and passes through the megapolis that is
Mexico City and that's exactly what made it just the right place for
SIMPLIFIRES to incubate. ... more
