*Refugees On The Block*
VERSE
Refugees in the room, they start to bloom,
Meanwhile, our own folks, they struggle, no room,
Hotels for free, citizens on the knife's edge,
Mortgage can't hedge, they pledge allegiance to the dread,
Lost bread, hope bled, government's cold tread,
Refugees got the bed, citizens got street cred.
Got allowance, no balance, household chalice dry,
Canada's flag fly, tears falling from the sky,
Immigrants in hotels, homegrown can't buy,
Pushin' carts, lookin' high, while the suits deny,
Refuge in the homeland, feelin’ like a ghost,
Lost coast, no roast, the dream’s just a post,
Borders open wide, but the heart's locked and tied,
Citizens slide, refugee tide, moral divide.
CHORUS
We’re refugees on our own block, tickin' like a clock,
Systems rock, no stock, cold walk on concrete dock,
Hotels for the strangers, citizens in danger,
Reality’s a banger, governments arrangered.
VERSE
Social net, full of holes, citizens fall through,
Empty stew, no clue, what the leaders do,
Promise world anew, but pain they brew,
Take a stroll in the shoes of those overdue,
Hotels high-rise, but souls feel the demise,
Citizens’ cries echo, no surprise,
Feelin’ despised, system full of lies,
Immigrants rise, original dreams sanitize.
Lost in the policy, lost in the diplomacy,
No harmony, what's meant to be,
Citizens on a spree, trying to break free,
Feel like refugees, in their own sea.
CHORUS
We’re refugees on our own block, tickin' like a clock,
Systems rock, no stock, cold walk on concrete dock,
Hotels for the strangers, citizens in danger,
Reality’s a banger, governments arrangered.
