lyrics

I’ve been hearing all your tweets
They resonate around the island
You say how great it’s going to 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 going to be
Part of your othering
You tell your lies and you build divide
You spin a 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’ve 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 going to be
Part of your othering
You tell your lies and you build divide
You spin a web of fear you hide behind
You keep us fighting so we stay in line
Othering
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
Excerpt from The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus (1849–87)

Always pushing the boundaries. Favourite track.. Totally Brassic it makes me feel like I’m sat in a field in California circa 1968-1972 in the sunshine with a beer waiting for Santana to come on thinking “ Hell Santana better be good after this”. Dave Quinn
