15 MIN CITY

15 Min City 
A zoo for humanity
An illusion of democracy
A swamp for tyranny 

15 Min City 
For your digital currency
Where no-one is free
Police state security 

15 Min City
Theft of all your property 
Carbon credit surety 
Legal theft and piracy 

15 Min City 
All religion heresy 
Vaccinations involuntary 
A future with no guarantee 

15 Min City
With no proof of authority
Life with no warranty 
surrender your usufructuary

Nineteen Smiles - Tobias Karlsson Jenny Campmany

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

Man of Constant Sorrow"  is a traditional American folk song first recorded by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally recorded by Burnett as "Farewell Song" printed in a Richard Burnett songbook, circa 1913. 

There is some uncertainty whether Dick Burnett himself wrote the song. One claim is that it was sung by the Mackin clan in 1888 in Ireland and that Cameron O'Mackin emigrated to Tennessee, brought the song with him, and performed it.
In an interview he gave toward the end of his life, Burnett himself indicated that he could not remember:

Charles Wolfe: "What about this "Farewell Song" – 'I am a man of constant sorrow' – did you write it?"
Richard Burnett: "No, I think I got the ballad from somebody – I dunno. It may be my song.

MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW ( Adapted Lyrics )
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days.
I bid farewell to southern England 
The place where I was born and raised.

(The place where I was born and raised)

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

( I have  no friends to help me now)

I'm bound to ride an Asian  railroad
I think  I'll die upon this train.

(I think  I'll die upon this train)

Maybe you think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise  that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

( I'll meet you on God's golden shore)
