作词 : Dave/Kyle Evans/James Blake 作曲 : Dave/Kyle Evans/James Blake Look lmagine a island where the party never ends Where it's less about money and it's more about friends Where the vibes can't done It's less about funding and more about fun, tropical sun That's life in the '60s coming from the Caribbean You know lan, Delroy, Vivian, Winston Who got drafted to England Windrush babies from Kingston go Brixton To say they're the life of the party you are wrong My Jamaicans the entire party You can't see? Big Notting Hil carni, you can't see? And the rides fibreglass, G, you wan see? lmagine a place where you raise your kids The only place you live says you ain't a Brit They're the deporting our people and it makes me sick Cah they were broken by the country that they came to fix It's like
(They came at the invitation of the British government Their passports were stamped Indefinite leave to remain But for some who were children then That was a false promise)
(Thirty-seven years of paying taxes And I got a letter saying thatI was an illegal immigrant I came to England at the age of ten And I've lived here all my life)
Look lmagine a world that's flawed and full of evil Where dictators and leaders are persecuting your people The bodies of the innocents are piling to the steeples The ironic part is they're preying on the feeble That's life in the '90s, you're Eastern European And you're seeing people dying 'cause they're fighting for their freedom They show you violence for having a voice You move out with your kids in hope of having a choice Life throws you a spanner, you can't handle the pain So you gamble and you're drink and then you gamble again You argue with your wife and then you sleep on the couch You hit your children and start freezing 'em out You try and work things out but it's never the same All the women in your household are living afraid When you look into the mirror you're reminded again That you've become the dictator you were fighting against It's like
(We our fighting for our rights, for our motherland We are fighting for our homes Fighting for our, our families)
Look lmagine a world that's ****ed and untrue Where the many pay a price for the few And every day the sun rises a little later That's how it is when your oppressor is your liberator That's right now living in the Middle East Praise Allah for the peace Death from a sky littered with stars You run away with your kids so you can give 'em a chance But your asylum has got you in a different war Becah the British wanna know what you're living here for We rely on migration more than ever before They're key workers, but they couldn't even get in the door When you're at Heaven's gates what are you telling the Lord? You wouldn't even let a kid into some steadier shores That's a life they may never afford Surely you would wanna give your people chances that were better than yours No?
(In ten years of conflict Nearly twelve thousand children have been killed or injured) (The children here are just a tiny fraction of the estimated six billion In need of emergency humanitarian assistance It's thought perhaps as many as three million no longer live in their own homes And up to two million children no longer attend school The opportunities of this generation have been changed forever by this conflict)
