    Look
    lmagine a island where the party never ends
    Where it's less about money and it's more about friends
    Where the vibes can't done
    It's less about funding and more about fun, tropical sun
    That's life in the '60s coming from the Caribbean
    You know lan, Delroy, Vivian, Winston
    Who got drafted to England
    Windrush babies from Kingston go Brixton
    To say they're the life of the party you are wrong
    My Jamaicans the entire party
    You can't see?
    Big Notting Hil carni, you can't see?
    And the rides fibreglass, G, you wan see?
    lmagine a place where you raise your kids
    The only place you live says you ain't a Brit
    They're the deporting our people and it makes me sick
    Cah they were broken by the country that they came to fix
    It's like
    (They came at the invitation of the British government
    Their passports were stamped
    Indefinite leave to remain
    But for some who were children then
    That was a false promise)
    (Thirty-seven years of paying taxes
    And I got a letter saying thatI was an illegal immigrant I came to England at the age of ten
    And I've lived here all my life)
    lmagine a world that's flawed and full of evil
    Where dictators and leaders are persecuting your people
    The bodies of the innocents are piling to the steeples
    The ironic part is they're preying on the feeble
    That's life in the '90s, you're Eastern European
    And you're seeing people dying 'cause they're fighting for their freedom
    They show you violence for having a voice
    You move out with your kids in hope of having a choice
    Life throws you a spanner, you can't handle the pain
    So you gamble and you're drink and then you gamble again
    You argue with your wife and then you sleep on the couch
    You hit your children and start freezing 'em out
    You try and work things out but it's never the same
    All the women in your household are living afraid
    When you look into the mirror you're reminded again
    That you've become the dictator you were fighting against
    (We our fighting for our rights, for our motherland We are fighting for our homes
    Fighting for our, our families)

    lmagine a world that's ****ed and untrue
    Where the many pay a price for the few
    And every day the sun rises a little later
    That's how it is when your oppressor is your liberator
    That's right now living in the Middle East
    Praise Allah for the peace
    Death from a sky littered with stars
    You run away with your kids so you can give 'em a chance
    But your asylum has got you in a different war
    Becah the British wanna know what you're living here for
    We rely on migration more than ever before
    They're key workers, but they couldn't even get in the door
    When you're at Heaven's gates what are you telling the Lord?
    You wouldn't even let a kid into some steadier shores
    That's a life they may never afford
    Surely you would wanna give your people chances that were better than yours
    No?
    (In ten years of conflict
    Nearly twelve thousand children have been killed or injured)
    (The children here are just a tiny fraction of the estimated six billion
    In need of emergency humanitarian assistance
    It's thought perhaps as many as three million no longer live in their own homes
    And up to two million children no longer attend school
    The opportunities of this generation have been changed forever by this conflict)
