Shalinu
Face the tears down
Look and don't avert your eyes
Take a photograph in case your memory lies
There's the cash
There's the travel
There's the life they've got for you
Do you want it just because they say you do?
Shalinu

Shalini, Shalini
It's a right-now world
And will you wait the long wait for me?
Shalini, Shalini
It's a give-in world
And will you fight the good fight with me?

See the play
Play the hit
Hit the spot
Spot the fake
Fake the count
Count the take
Take the lead
Lead the way
Weigh the risk
Risk the change
Change the plan
Plan the time
Time the move
Move the mouth
Mouth the name
Name the place
Place the blame

Learn the faces
Build the basis for a year
Rub the surface of the ice until it's clear
Shalina
Face the stares down
Face the lay down and the law
Do they know you just because they found a flaw?
Shalina

Shalini, Shalini
It's a right-now world
And will you wait the long wait for me?
Shalini, Shalini
It's a give-in world
And will you fight the good fight with me?

Shalini, Shalini
It's a back-off world
And will you stand some hard ground with me?
