lyrics

Zoom out to space
There's no borders
No border force
Making orders
Just a single
Human race
Inhabiting
The same place

Zoom back in
See the borders
Stopping people
Fleeing murder
Excisions
Keep them at bay
Divisions
Breeding hatred

Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in

When you wage war
Over there
Don't expect them
To stay there
Don't expect them
To be peaceful
Don't expect to
Stay unequal

How would you feel
Under attack
Would anything
Hold you back
From fleeing
For your life
Trying to get to
The other side

Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in

Refugees
Ain't illegal
And banning legals?
That's just evil
It's our leaders
Breaking the laws
When they go slam
Those doors

People dying
in detention
Going crazy
From the tension
Got em drugged up
On medication
Only way to
Keep then waiting

Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in

Global passports
They're a new thing
Only been around
For a century
Only standardised
In the Eighties
So why are immigrants
So hated?

We're all being
divided
Being played like
We're blinded
To the bait that
Keeps us biting
To the lies that
Keep us fighting

Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in
Got to let them in
