Empire Strikes Back Lyrics

Left home 1948

Come to The Motherland

You're welcome here, we've got open arms

Just 28 pounds buys a fairy-tale

We're on the rocks but we've got the jobs

You can bring the family

Calypso singer down at the docks

Singing "London is the place for me"

He sings "London is the place for me"

Empire strikes back

Empire Strikes Back

You can come to our cities

You can come to our towns

You can come work in our hospitals

You can help rebuild this broken land

We'd like to thank you for all you've done

In our hour of need

Gonna create opportunity

For those zoot suits and that finery

Zoot suits and that finery

Empire strikes back

Empire strikes back

Train driver….maintenance man…hospital porter….I don't understand

Fast forward 2017

Landing cards, nowhere to be seen

This is a hostile environment

No legal rights, no compromise

No cancer treatment or long goodbyes

Compassion here's in short supply

Empire strikes back

Empire strikes back

Empire strikes back

Empire strikes back
