Lyrics
Came a long way, escaping persecution
Not going back, to hell with the revolution
El Dorado, motivated the leap.
Work, a chance to live, to sleep
Sea swells, in an overcrowded boat
It's black and cold and barely afloat
Waiting for the engine, to cut out
Were on edge, stuck in a time warp
Brutal gangs, midnight flares
A tragic, end-of-life night mare
Storm tides , the boat overturns
More politics and angry emotions
New baby born, never stood a chance
Don't bring God into it, or migrant bans
Water, eight degrees and wild
No time to search for my wife
Wished I'd cried more, when I knew
The baby boy in the boat, died too.
Don't dodge the issue, start a blame game
Welfare charities, always quick to lay claim
Photos taken to show the accused
Stats revised, to ignite the bemused
Coastguard continues to search
Lost souls, lay dead in the church
A tragic, end-of-life night mare
mmmmmmmmmmmm
