In the beating heart of london and it’s concrete arteries a swarm of taxis buzz around the chaos of the streets as the ships dock, anchors drop from the seven seas we stepped off a boat into a new country we fled from hunger, genocide poverty and war to the offices, the hospitals the corner shops and more diggin’ up the diamonds that trickled to the floor a new way of life found on Englands shores but i sense that something’s wrong in this new home of mine the gold that fill the skyline pull the city up to rise but down below the people march, shout and occupy on an ever changing landscape as frantic as the sky And for all the immigrants caught in between where the battle lines were drawn we took the hit for the sins of the rich and through it all yeah we had to stay strong 18 years on the times had changed Punk rock picked me up and dragged me out like a wave An old man told me ‘Son, Fuck ‘em all and don’t behave’ burn this world to the ground and start again but there’s a thousand different voices and a thousand views and I have to admit I’m not one to own the truth I got a lot of doubts of what guitars can do but i’ll sing what I see and I’ll sing for you And as an immigrant I had to search for somewhere to belong and as an immigrant I found my roots in the heart of a song
