about

We’ve been covering The Specials’ Ghost Town for a while, so we tapped into that freaky energy for this one. I love the juxtaposition of a depressive-manic verse against the dancy-bright chorus. To me it reflects the extreme ups and downs of our time.

The song unfolds to suggest a connection between the family separation tragedy on America’s borders as well as the xenophobic, anti-expat frenzy that Kuwait is in.

lyrics

V 1
They came in with shredded shoes, dejected & confused. الرؤوس نامت
محرومين من نوم في اقفاص فلاذ
From afar breaking news swimming in a room with refugee blues. I’m doused
Float the boat, hide it in your throat.

Pre-CH
Hands up who’s there at the border? Interrogate the children first.
Tie em up, let’s go for a drive eat away every human right

V 2
They comin’ quick, where you work, as you pray, where you sleep, now midday. والعصاعص قامت

يا ليل داندانه لدان
الطبيعة أُم عصبية
عاصفة فاشستية

PRE-CH 2
Happy hurricane season
Field trip (out) to the wall
Buckle up, let’s go for a drive to another mall with reality stars.

CH 1
We found ourselves detained in anchor shackles
Side by side we stand In the face of danger
Find our place in the world, standing up for strangers

BR/Pre-CH 3
Hands up who’s there at the border?
Interrogate the children first.
Tie em up, let’s go for a drive
Eat away every human right

Happy hurricane season
Eat away my human rights
Sluggin’ through another year
to the bottom of the bowl with a racist douche.
Get in line that’s the master plan
Brought to you by the orange clan

CH 2
Side by side we stand in the face of danger
Find our place in the world, standing up for strangers.
