Edd Abbas - Marche lyrics

[Verse 1 - Akhenaton] Migrated migrant decried on the screen who managed to migrate It's easy to decrypt: news are build around their lives They care only about barbed wires on the coasts They would like to turn the beaches in minefields, to sink the boats, to close the pa**age point Everything can be explained but only with reflect on history. You know, nobody knows what it's going to Happen any soon The fragile armada that overlaps the boats, and sometimes get swallowed New day, new trash Like a sheep answering the call from Fear And we compare a kid in the arms of the octopus with a terrorist It's crazy, they are going to crunch our who*ehouse, to steer towards the country of human rights, the Country of the rich white men I love the humanist France, not the disloyal who say “f** Imperialism” and masturbate their Napoleon Too much ghosts haunt this road that leads to government Violent and muted storm Fear of illegal immigrant Everything makes us forget that their persecutors are our Frankenstein We will tell you “Welcome to Flash Pole” The ignorant think that you can snap their jackpot Exodus is the gap between living and surviving Information is the gap between buzz and what is written in books [Verse 2 - Edd Abbas] I've lived thirty years in Beirut, they spent twenty in my neighborhood The presence of the Syrian regime was like a thorn in your eye One out of five people know that “rotisserie chicken” didn't mean a meal It meant being hung from your feet upside down by them and getting beaten up For a long time the Lebanese have been under pressure from the Syrians But I don't mean the Syrian people, since they've been oppressed by the same regime The people of Syria have been here long before the revolution The same Syrians whom you look down on to be low cla** rabble Built all the bridges in country, not just the ones in the Dahye suburb or Dora But I'm not just here to defend them I'm here to attack the capitalists That paid them half a salary And cost the Lebanese work opportunities So we started to blame the refugees We forgot the real image of the beast We forgot that we live in a jungle where the lions are never satisfied Some in my country have rejected Pan-Arab solidarity Through their doors another Arab would never pa**, but maybe a Jew could But still, others in our country know how this scheme is being played And the problem with the refugee is that he thinks that our wars are separate So when he sees me, he gets upset and I am embarra**ed to tell him to smile And I want to tell him that it's the same battle but it happens in a different place each time Depending on how the wheel turns and how far it goes My home is crowded but it's hard for me to tell my guest to leave It's as if I'm telling them to go off and die and we'd be happy here without you They'd celebrate with fireworks streaking the sky But my conscience won't allow me to utter such words Even if half my country wants that It's hard to win a battle if all you're searching for is peace of mind [Verse 3 - Asifeh aka Stormtrap] Escaping in a boat Drinking sea water Against the waves A chicken truck Men in the sun Their lands are not to be touched Remembering when I was on the beach Wake up, take this water bottle and try to breathe Because here there is no flight attendant, take off or landing In the best case, here you will swim next to the fishes Boats of d**h, waves all around, it's you and your luck On the other side authorities are waiting to catch you It's still my first day and I'm being humiliated “How do you not speak our language? Are you stupid?” It's my first day and they expect me to be like a parrot But they've been in my home for hundreds of years and don't know how to say "hello" And when a crime happens, my race/nationality will be on the newspapers To make the headlines, because generalization can be very useful First world, second world, third world, fourth world, fifth world, sixth world Yesterday to them I was a human being, today to them I am a savage I am a demographic economic threat But why am I here anyway? As a result of their contribution to the destruction of my home The colonizer is always audacious In their media you are dirty A journalist is prepared to trip you Here, there is no war. That's the difference But, you sleep on the floor, you sleep in the cold, one room, 50 people, welcome to the west "They stole my apartment, They stole my job, They're a threat to my kids in school, They're a threat to My country, I just got the idea to build a fence because the threat is on my door. You want to come to Europe? No way! Enough!"
