lyrics

ON THE SIDE
Carmen Morejón, Gogo Jean Michel Francis


Caution children
it’s slippery out there,
the road to Babylon is wet...

Coz we the road blocked survivors
dem pull we on the side,
fe we looks, fe we colors
dem pull we on the side,
we passport is a crime
so visas dem deny,
in every single line
they love to pull we on the side.

On the side here,
on the side there,
stripped down naked
and the rest dem stare,
by the law humiliated
and they just don’t care,
illegal aliens, hand cuffs in the air.

The k9 a come
refugees run, run, run!,
the police men a come
deported run, run, run!.
Run pon the walls,
run pon the road,
run down the tunnels
run crawl pon the boat,
some run fe better life,
some run from the strife,
some run to be slaves
and some run to be dead.
It’s slippery ou there...

Coz we the road block survivors
dem pull we on the side,
fe we looks, fe we colors
dem pull we on the side,
we passport is a crime
so visas dem deny,
in every single line
they love to pull we on the side.

On the side here,
on the side there,
no bread here,
no welfare there.

The k9 a come
refugees run, run, run!,
the police men a come
deported run, run, run!.

Por que se creen con el derecho
de clasificar,
ponen etiqueta cuando les viene en gana,
dicen quién puede y
quién no puede pasar,
deciden quién es apto
p’a vivir en sociedad.

Se creen con el derecho
de menospreciar,
ponen etiqueta cuando les viene en gana,
dicen quién puede y
quién no puede pasar,
deciden quién es apto
p’a vivir en sociedad.

Dem pull we on the side,
on the side here, on the side there...
