Have to run along An extended line Have to hurry on Within a shortened time They keep me from moving uphill You speed up your cunning treadmill And I must recognize, that I'll Never leave the state of a standstill
Have to renew My right of residence Cause I don't exist For the lack of evidence They're grabbing hold of my neck You're trying to pull me back And I must recognize that I'll Never leave the state of a standstill
Two stones tied up to my legs So you can watch me struggling Two stones to keep me under water And you can watch me bubbling
Just want to live like everyone Want to live like a common man In a common home Just like you
Every step I take Will daily get transfered back To my family clan Who demand my daily combat They paid for illegal crossing You want me to work for nothing And I must recognize that I'll Never leave the state of a standstill
Have to hurry on Have to run in two directions See the dogs from far Set on me from both directions They're ordering me to be faithful You're ordering me to be grateful And I put my hands up Because I don't want to kill
Two stones tied up to my legs So you can watch me struggling Two stones to keep me under water And you can watch me bubbling
Just want to live like everyone Want to live like a common man In a common home Just like you
