We're just two lost souls swimming
Cold comfort for change, did you exchange
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze
But have we found the same old fears
Or you tuning to rock
In a fish bowl year after year
Dad used to tell me about the American dream
Or pumpin' the hip hip-hop
Whether you listenin' to rock
How I wish, how I wish you were here
A young refugee labeled, just come with a passport
Refugees on your box
Listening to hip hop, my brother tune me into rock
Refugees on your box
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail
We gonna take over the blocks
Whether you listenin' to hip hip-hop
Kickin' in my mom's room, this song was just a thought
Runnin' over the same old ground
Refugees on your box
So, so, you think you can tell
My dream was waking up in the projects a young teen
Whether you pumpin' the hip hip-hop
Or you tuning to rock
I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon
Wish you were here
Put me up on pink Floyd and banned from the British blocks
A walk on part in the war for a lead role in the game
Let's go
A smile from a fair, do you think you can tell
Critics don't mistake this for just any cover tune
Did they get you to trade your heroes for goals
We gonna take over ya blocks
