Artist: Big Audio Dynamite Album: No. 10 Upping Street Originally released: 1986 |
If you don't know where I come from, better stear clear of
my trail
From the dark side of London, that's way beyond the pale
My grandpa came from Russia, stowed away hidden in some
bales
He took my grandma dancing to the air raid sirens whail
Then Saint George used his sword on the immigrant poor
'cause he can't kill no dragon
If I was in those shoes, I'd say Soweto's gonna happen here
too
I gotta get a message through, tell everybody the news
And with the winter coming...
Crossing all the borders through the smoke of war and rain
Papers out of order on a military train
A coat, a bag, a baby, status - refugee
These are the people of my family
Don't anybody know that this city was made of immigrant
blood and money
If I was in those shoes a blackshirt with the playboy blues
I gotta get a message through, tell everybody the news
And with the winter coming...
Now there's a rocker in Vladivostok, got every side by Jerry
Lee
But for accidents of disorder that guy could well be me
I want everybody to know this, I want everyone to hear
Immigration built the nation, you got a bloodclaat standing
here
Now Saint George used his sword on the immigrant poor
'cause he can't kill no dragon
If I was in those shoes I'd say Soweto's gonna happen here
too
I gotta get a message through, tell everybody the news
And with the winter coming...
Don't anybody know that the city was made of immigrant
blood and money
If I was in those shoes, a blackshirt with the playboy blues
I gotta get a message through, tell everybody the news
And with the winter coming...
