lyrics

I’ve been hearing all your tweets
They resonate around my island
You say how great it’s gonna be
But not for those who seek asylum

And all your words are on repeat
We listen to your one-way street
Your shiny megaphone is trying to drown it out
But - we want the truth...

We’re not gonna be - part of your - Othering
You tell your lies and you build divides
You spin the web of fear you hide behind
You keep us fighting so we stay in line - Othering

Way above you there are richer men
And maybe they don’t look so friendly
But they got their skills in puppetry
And making sure they write the ending

And all your words are on repeat
We listen to your one-way street
Your shiny megaphone is trying to drown it out
But - we want the truth

We’re not gonna be - part of your - Othering
You tell your lies and you build divides
You spin the web of fear you hide behind
You keep us fighting so we stay in line - Othering

Lady of liberty where did you go?
Lady of liberty where’s the golden door?

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

We’re not gonna be - part of your - Othering
You tell your lies and you build divides
You spin the web of fear you hide behind
You keep us fighting so we stay in line - Othering
