We create with our arrogance
\nTerrible strife
\nWe transform our dreams
\nAnd forgo true life<\/p>\n
People lose everything
\nAnd make a break
\nGet on a boat
\nJust something to take<\/p>\n
Perhaps with their child
\nA bag or two
\nAll that they worked for is gone
\nNow they do<\/p>\n
What they never expected
\nTo run for their life
\nTo take on the anger
\nWhich builds into strife<\/p>\n
Across the sea
\nAnd to a new shore
\nThey run up the beach
\nEscaping our war<\/p>\n
And what happens then
\nThe cameras roll
\nAnd policeman with truncheons
\nClimb out of their hole<\/p>\n
Tear gas and savagery
\nWhat do they do
\nRun for their lives
\nThese thoughts are not new<\/p>\n
Tripped up by journalists
\nTo fall on the floor
\nWhere is the love
\nReplaced by a war<\/p>\n
Just lovely people
\nWho had to go
\nTo try to escape
\nThe factions who show<\/p>\n
To level their houses
\nTo pilfer their stuff
\nTo shit in their toilets
\nHave we seen enough<\/p>\n
Trip the child over
\nStand in their way
\nKnock them to the floor
\nIn your ugly way<\/p>\n
We feel all your loathing
\nThe awful bad blood
\nThe malice a fore thought
\nIt begins to flood<\/p>\n
Out of your veins
\nYou who lost nothing here
\nTrip up a child
\nWho is running in fear<\/p>\n
You fucking rotters
\nOne day maybe you
\nWill be tripped up by someone
\nWho wants to do
\nWhat you did to trip you
\nSee you on the floor
\nJust lying crying
\nA victim or war<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
