Lyrics Translation:

I dont get any of this
My ideas are all scrambled
Complicated and unclear
Can you show me the way
I dont get who is with who
The striped and the dotted
Are all controlled and politicized
Can you show me the way
I dont get who we are
Whats remaining is being chopped
The enlightened people are doped
Can you show me the way
I dont get whats the story
We all surrendered to fate
And life is too short
Can you show me the way
From Khartoom to Aleppo
From Rabat to the Arab gulf
What history is being written
Can you show me the way
I dont get what I want
Excuse my ignorance
But to this homeland I am looking for
Can you show me the way
