Lyrics Refugees At The Rich Mans Gate - Ketil Bjørnstad

Refugees At The Rich Mans Gate

at one time they were
like ghosts
disembarking at night
and hidden in the mountains
by the time of dawn
revealed their footprints on the beach
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
dumping clients 200 metres
offshores
fifty-nine illegal migrants fearde drowned off spain
some ten thousand illegal
immigrants
were caught in the first five months of the year
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
thirteen bodies
line up on the beach
people are still
coming
thirteen bodies
line up on the beach
people are still
coming
they are so desperate
they are so desperate
they are so desperate
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
if you saw our lives
there
you would understand
why we got nothing
