Asian Dub Foundation - Fortress europe Lyrics

Keep banging on the wall of Fortress Europe!1
Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!
Keep banging, keep banging on the wall!

2022. A new European order.
Robot guards patrolling the border.
Cybernetic dogs are getting closer and closer.
Armoured cars
And immigration officers.
A burning village in Kosovo.
You bombed it out now you're telling us go home.
Machine guns strut on the cliffs of Dover.
Heads down people look out. We're going over
Burning up! Сan we survive re-entry
Past the mines and the cybernetic sentries?
Safe European homes built on wars.
You don't like the effect don't produce the cause.
The chip is in your head, not on my shoulder2.
Total control just around the corner.
Open up the floodgates, time's nearly up.
Keep banging on the wall of fortress Europe!

Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!
Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!

We got a right to know the situation
We're the children of globalization3
No borders - only true connection.
Light the fuse of the insurrection!
This generation has no nation.
Grass roots pressure the only solution.
We're sitting tight, ‘сause
Asylum is a right.
Put an end to this confusion!

This is a 21st century exodus.
This is a 21st century exodus.

Burning up сan we survive re-entry
Past the mines and cybernetic sentries?
Plane, train, car, ferry, boat or bus.
The future is bleeding coming back at us.
The chip is in your head, not on my shoulder.
Total control around the corner.
Open up the floodgates, time's nearly up.
Keep banging on the wall of Fortress Europe!

Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!
Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!

They got a right - listen not to the scaremonger,
Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger
From where to what to when to here to there
People caught up in red tape nightmare.
Break out of the detention centres,
Cut the wires
And tear up the vouchers!
People get ready, it's time to wake up.
Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe!

This is a 21st century exodus.

This is a 21st century exodus.

We got a right!

Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!
Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe, of Fortress Europe!

Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe, of Fortress Europe!

Keep banging, keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe!
