Biography

American electronic music duo which was formed by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton in 1995. Their music mixes elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern music, hip hop, electronica, and Brazilian music, especially bossa nova. Garza and Hilton met in May 1995 at the Eighteenth Street Lounge in Washington DC. They were introduced by a mutual friend and proceeded to discuss their admiration for the work of Antonio Carlos Jobim, '60s-'70s bossa nova, and jazz. Weeks later, in a home studio, they began to work on the music that would launch Thievery Corporation. After several early 12" singles, Thievery Corporation released their first Lp, "Sounds From the Thievery Hi-Fi" on ESL Music.

LYRICS

War keeps blasting through the city tonight
Love assassinated in broad daylight
The righteous are hiding in the graveyard grass
While the wicked sell their sons and daughters for cash
Hope cries louder than gunshot sounds
Wait for the dawning of light as we lay on the ground
Things have gotten so low that they can't fall down
Inspiration comes faster than incoming rounds

Feel the struggle but don't give up the fight
Life never seemed so clear through all the chaos tonight
Fear is blasting through the speakers tonight
The land of the free and the vain never misses its rights

Hope cries louder than gunshot sounds
Wait for the dawning of light as we lay on the ground
Things have gotten so low that they can't fall down
Inspiration comes faster than incoming rounds
War keeps blasting through the city tonight

Open up your eyes, don't be blinded by the light
All things must change, it's always been the same
Don't disguise 'cause the system is devised to divide us
Them can't divide I and I

Them can't divide, them can't divide
I and I, I and I, I and I
Them can't divide, them can't divide
Them can't divide, I and I

War keeps blasting through the city tonight
Love assassinated in broad daylight
The righteous are hiding in the graveyard grass
See the things I see, them can't see
Them can't see, them can't see
