skint & demoralised - superheroes lyrics
the way he looks at me, i feel like a hologram
this boy, barely double figures
we’re metres from men dressed in helmets and shields
fingers, inches from triggers
his knock-off barcelona shirt is all that’s left from home
the bulldog in the ballot box is taking back control
these orphans, left inhuman, are aching for a chance
the ringing in his ears might be tinnitus or trauma
his trainers, a size too small
clutching paperwork to exercise his legal right to britain
whose government responded by building bigger walls
he travelled with his dad
but his dad’s no longer with us
sweating at the break of dawn
in the sunlight, he shivers
his mother and his sister
never made it out of syria
syria, so sinister, they could no longer return
nearly a thousand children in this nightmare called home
78 percent of them are living here alone
we’re standing in the school
marko is the teacher
he’s got a sofa now in newcastle
but he’s still a weekly feature
he said draw your favourite superhero
with pencils and a pad
this boy sat in silence
and drew a picture of his dad
