lyrics

Left your life behind, discarded
Now you find yourself disregarded
It's a cold, cold world for you my friend

Building walls, so terrified by legacy of empire’s fall
Abandon any empathy
Their cold, dead hearts are blatant to survey
Must we try to turn away from everything?
Avert our eyes, to keep from seeing anything
That might the truth of the matter betray

Fleeing the wars that were caused by the greed of the men that you'll never meet
Stopped at the border by soldiers of fortune, forced you to live on the street
This is a far cry from the streets paved with gold that you were promised
Surrounded by strangers in a place you don't know with no home and no belongings

Building walls, so terrified by legacy of empires fall
Abandon any empathy
Their cold, dead hearts are blatant to
Violence of borders plain to see
Colonial mentality
Divide and rule keeps us distracted
Controls the masses’ first reaction
Must we try to turn away from everything
Avert our eyes, to keep from seeing anything
That might the truth of the matter betray

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
