Immigrant lyrics

Have to run along

An extended line

Have to hurry on

Within a shortened time

They keep me from moving uphill

You speed up your cunning treadmill

And I must recognize, that I'll

Never leave the state of a standstill

Have to renew

My right of residence

Cause I don't exist

For the lack of evidence

They're grabbing hold of my neck

You're trying to pull me back

And I must recognize that I'll

Never leave the state of a standstill

Two stones tied up to my legs

So you can watch me struggling

Two stones to keep me under water

And you can watch me bubbling

Just want to live like everyone

Want to live like a common man

In a common home

Just like you

Every step I take

Will daily get transfered back

To my family clan

Who demand my daily combat

They paid for illegal crossing

You want me to work for nothing

And I must recognize that I'll

Never leave the state of a standstill

Have to hurry on

Have to run in two directions

See the dogs from far

Set on me from both directions

They're ordering me to be faithful

You're ordering me to be grateful

And I put my hands up

Because I don't want to kill

Two stones tied up to my legs

So you can watch me struggling

Two stones to keep me under water

And you can watch me bubbling

Just want to live like everyone

Want to live like a common man

In a common home

Just like you
