Lyrics
I see myself in them
The people at the borders
Waiting to exist again
Brothers, sisters, sons and daughters
Denied our so-called golden streets
Running from demolished lives
Into wars
The haves and the have-nothings
The accepted and rejected
We can't keep letting them in
We can't keep letting them in
The gold stops us
The gold always did
The gold took more lives
Than uranium
Than polonium
Than polonium
And as I stand here wondering why
The man beheaded on a smartphone
Falls into my pocket from the sky
Modern life
Everything is everywhere
Know what I mean
Handy
And obscene
