Lets go
So so you
think you can tell
heaven from hell
Blue skies from
pain
Can you tell a
green field
from a cold steel
rail
A smile from a
fair
do you think you
can tell
Did they get you
to trade
your heros for
goals
Hot ashes for
trees
Hot air for a
cool breeze
Cold comfort for
change
Did you exchange
A walk on part
in the war
for a lead role
in the game
whether you listenin
to hip hip-hop
or you tuning
to rock
refugees on your
box
we gonna take
over ya blocks
lets go
How I wish, how
I wish you were here
We're jus two
lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year
Runnin over the
same old ground
But have we found
the same old fears
Wish you were
here
whether you listenin
to rock
or pumpin the
hip hip hop
refugees on your
box
Critics don't mistake
this for just any cover tune
I'ma take y'all
to the dark side of the moon
Kickin in my moms
room this song was just a thought
A young refugee
labeled, jus come with a passport
Dad used to tell
me about the American dream
My dream was waking
up the projects
a young teen listening
to hip hop
my brother tune
me into rock
put me up on pink
floyd and banned from the british blocks
whether you pumpin
the hip hip hop
or you tuning
to rock
refugees on your
box
we gonna take
over the blocks
from n.j to bk
to the u.k
