"Ich Bin Ein Auslander" lyrics - POP WILL EAT ITSELF

POP WILL EAT ITSELF
"Ich Bin Ein Auslander"
(Clint Mansell / Veston Pance)

Listen to the victim abused by the system
The basis is racist, you know that we must face this
It can't happen here (Oh, yeah?)
Take a look around at the cities and the towns
See 'em hunting, creeping, sneaking, breeding
Fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
There is no future when the past soon come
And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out? Will you defend me?
Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives?
Trampled under foot by the right on the rise

[Chorus:]
(You owe us!)
Ich bin ein auslander
(You owe us everything!)
Ich bin ein auslander
(You owe us!)
Ich bin ein auslander
(You owe us everything!)
Ich bin ein auslander

Welcome to a state where the politics of hate
Shout loud in the crowd, watch them beat us all down
There's a rising tide on the rivers of blood
But if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence
If they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out? Will you defend me?
Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright
Trampled under foot by the rise of the right

[Chorus:]
(You owe us!)
Ich bin ein auslander
(You owe us everything!)
Ich bin ein auslander
(You owe us!)
Ich bin ein auslander
(You owe us everything!)
Ich bin ein auslander

[Outro:]
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
Ich bin ein auslander
