Don't take out your hate on me Or try to cleanse my family I'm just another refugee I won't look back now Smoke is rising from our house You've cut us off and chased us out There's nothing left to cry about I won't look back now How many lives will it take us to be sure To recognise it's k**ing time Don't make your mistakes on me Your threats, your lies, your perjury 'Cos I wanna be what I wanna be I won't look back now Children trapped beneath the stars In skeletons of broken cars And noone even stops to ask I won't look back now How many lives will it take us to be sure To recognise it's k**ing time
