Don't take out your hate on me

Or try to cleanse my family

I'm just another refugee

I won't look back now



Smoke is rising from our house

You've cut us off and chased us out

There's nothing left to cry about

I won't look back now



How many lives will it take us to be sure

To recognise it's killing time



Don't make your mistakes on me

Your threats, your lies, your perjury

`Cos I wanna be what I wanna be

I won't look back now



Children trapped beneath the stars

In skeletons of broken cars

And noone even stops to ask

I won't look back now



How many lives will it take us to be sure

To recognise it's killing time
