Wish You Were Here

Let's 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 veil

Do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts

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 a cage

Whether you listenin to hip hip-hop

Or you tuning to rock

Refugees on your box

We gonna take over ya blocks

Let's go

How I wish how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls swimming

In a fish bowl year after year

Running over the same old ground

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 mom's 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 in the projects

A young teen listening to hip hop

My brother tune me into rock

Put me up on pink floyd

A band 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
