lyrics

I’ve been looking for a reason why
We’re living this way
The more I see
The less I hear
Promises made

Emptied heart
Painted black
I want to start clean
And I want to get back to where I was
Long before those ships rolled in

Are we in too deep
Far out of reach
Nowhere near where they said we would be
If only we worked that free-zone labour free

Have I been trained to believe
This is how things are
When me fathers grew in the field
Food we import

Do they have young
If they do, how can they sleep at night
And justify all the loss, the lies
The truth disguised
Behind a hand whose only helping itself
How do we build
When its living hell
Left for ourselves

The first world maybe first there
But not over here
