Oi Va Voi

It's all about identity
Construction of a family
Of difference and simile
What I give you and you give me
It's all about identity
This tribal sense of dignity
Of tolerance and unity
Of prejudice and bigotry
It's all about identity
A web of who we'd like to be
Let's cut and paste our memory
A dark and timeless industry
It's all about identity
A strength and solidarity
A dazed, confused desire to find
A place and time in history
It's all about identity
Or how the sheer majority
Impose a predetermined badge
And wait to judge you silently
It's all about identity
A retrospective odyssey
But where I live and who I meet
Are stronger in defining me
