skint & demoralised - superheroes lyrics

Loading...

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
