Empty Promises (Stop the Deportations)
Scars on his body and cracks in his spine
Yet you send him back thinking he will be fine?
To a country so broken, a country in war
Don't you think there's a reason he fled this far?
Yet we stand by
And close our eyes
Hoping somebody sees
But not me
Empty promises of a future
With open arms we take you in
Enjoy your stay, we hope it suits you
'Cause in a year you're going back
You live in your mansions, you sleep safe and sound
And signs of compassion will never be found
And now that you're asking I'd like to inquire
Why don't we send those who light the fires
Yet we stand by
And close our eyes
Hoping somebody sees
But not me
Empty promises of a future
With open arms we take you in
Enjoy your stay, we hope it suits you
'Cause in a year you're going back
(No borders, no nations, stop the deportations)
No borders, no nations, stop the deportations
(No borders, no nations, stop the deportations)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(No borders, no nations, stop the deportations)
Yet you send him back thinking he will be fine?
To a country so broken, a country in war
Don't you think there's a reason he fled this far?
Yet we stand by
And close our eyes
Hoping somebody sees
But not me
Empty promises of a future
With open arms we take you in
Enjoy your stay, we hope it suits you
'Cause in a year you're going back
You live in your mansions, you sleep safe and sound
And signs of compassion will never be found
And now that you're asking I'd like to inquire
Why don't we send those who light the fires
Yet we stand by
And close our eyes
Hoping somebody sees
But not me
Empty promises of a future
With open arms we take you in
Enjoy your stay, we hope it suits you
'Cause in a year you're going back
(No borders, no nations, stop the deportations)
No borders, no nations, stop the deportations
(No borders, no nations, stop the deportations)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(No borders, no nations, stop the deportations)
