Don't take out your hate on me Or try to cleanse my family I'm just another refugee I won't look back now Smoke is rising from our house You've cut us off and chased us out There's nothing left to cry about I won't look back now How many lives will it take us to be sure To recognise it's killing time Don't make your mistakes on me Your threats, your lies, your perjury 'Cos I wanna be what I wanna be I won't look back now Children trapped beneath the stars In skeletons of broken cars And noone even stops to ask I won't look back now How many lives will it take us to be sure To recognise it's killing time
