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
