Settling scores

Bringing us promisses

Leaving us poor

"Love is the answer"

That's what they say

Make us believers

(Oooh)

We fight their battles

(Oooh...)

Then they deceive us

(Ooh)

Try to control us

(Oh...)

They coudn't hold us

(Oh...)

'Cause we just move forward

(Oh...)

Like Buffalo Soldiers

Fighting to eat

Essa música foi vendida pra Coca Cola (aqui) pra campanhas publicitárias da copa de 2010
É praticamente impossível achar um vídeo bom da versão original da música na Internet, uma sincera pena =T

(E não, eu não vou nem comentar o que eu acho dessa venda absurda porque não é necessário u.u)
