Drowning
It's not like I'm on vacation
In this refugee camp
Far away from the place
I call my home
You have to understand
We choose the way over the water
It's safer than the land
Abandon home, run away from here
We are drowning, they air it on TV
Your entertainment program is reality for me
I'm gasping for air, but I cannot breathe
It's cold and dark at the bottom of the sea
I know I'm not welcome here
I hear your racist insults
But this ist much better than facing the gun
We pinned our hopes on you
But you let us down
Our hands reach out for you
I sink to the ocean ground
We are drowning, they air it on TV
Your entertainment program is reality for me
I'm gasping for air, but I cannot breathe
It's cold and dark at the bottom of the sea
We are drowning, they air it on TV,
Your entertainment program is reality for me
I'm gasping for air, but I cannot breathe
It's cold and dark at the bottom of the sea
At least I find my family
In this refugee camp
Far away from the place
I call my home
You have to understand
We choose the way over the water
It's safer than the land
Abandon home, run away from here
We are drowning, they air it on TV
Your entertainment program is reality for me
I'm gasping for air, but I cannot breathe
It's cold and dark at the bottom of the sea
I know I'm not welcome here
I hear your racist insults
But this ist much better than facing the gun
We pinned our hopes on you
But you let us down
Our hands reach out for you
I sink to the ocean ground
We are drowning, they air it on TV
Your entertainment program is reality for me
I'm gasping for air, but I cannot breathe
It's cold and dark at the bottom of the sea
We are drowning, they air it on TV,
Your entertainment program is reality for me
I'm gasping for air, but I cannot breathe
It's cold and dark at the bottom of the sea
At least I find my family
