lyrics

Asylum

They're gonna get us.
We gotta go.
If they'll still let us,
At the end of the road
There is a boat.
It's our last hope.

Forget your brother.
You only have enough for the
Women and the children.
No time for 'cheerio'.
Just go!
It's your only hope.

[Chorus]
All I want to know
What ever happened to peace and love?
For your fellow man?
For every refugee that dies,
We lose something from our own lives.
We're so uncivilised.

Protect our values.
What values are these?
Granting asylum,
to refugees
Has always been the hallmark of
A civilised society.

Responsibility.
This all has a cause.
People of Europe
what do you do
Now that your chickens
have come home to roost?

[Chorus2]
All I want to know
What ever happened to peace and love?
Human Decency?
For every refugee that dies,
We lose something from our own lives.
We're so uncivilised.

There are heroes
Who save lives.
And there are others
Who watch them die.
A plea for help
Is now a crime.

We're going under.
The water's cold.
Where did my mother
And sister go?
I want to go home.
Oh no no!

[Chorus]
