lyrics

Illegal Alien feat. Emilush
born in a country under a fascist regime
martial law and state of emergency
mass unemployment, depression
poverty, corruption

one day the police came to my door
didn't hang around to find out what for
I'd be as good as dead if I’d stayed
so I run away

with the police after me I had to leave
not just my home town, the country
money and luck got me out
in one piece almost safe and sound

ch:
hunted, used, no human rights
still its better than going back
hunted, used, no human rights
illegal alien

I came to the west, the place of democracy
where I'd learned the people are born free
they sent me to a refugee camp
and tried my application

I wasn't allowed wage labour
the only money I got was pocket change
I miss my friends, miss my family
all alone in a strange country

ch:

så länge vi följer ledet så göder vi deras spel
men om spelet får känna motstånd så kan vi förändra de

jag menar hela systemet är präglat av massa regler
som bara leder oss neråt och skapar massa problem

de e fel men så länge vi vägrar se
att om vi inte agerar så kommer ingenting ske

vi måste kämpa oss ur ledet och visa att vi har rätt
för det blir aldrig nån förändring så länge vi håller käft

ch:
