lyrics

CAPO 2
C G F C-G
They don't care that we are friends
They don't care about our basket ball games
They don't care about your dreams or mine
They don't care about Palestine

They don't know how hard you worked these 4 years
paying taxes, getting friends and built your life here
they don't care that you will be gone now
although you belong here now

F G Am Am
F G C
As long as their protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won't affect their own lives

They're closing borders again now
it's too expensive to save lives
So you will be getting paid now
for letting people die?

I wish they could have seen your face
reading that paper in your hallway
and I wish I didn't have to

But as long as their protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won't affect their own lives

You texted me 2 nights later
"I'm on a bus and I hope I see you later,
I've been drinking 20 red bulls to stay sharp
in case there's a border control"

I hope the stars shine bright
wherever you are tonight
The police can chase somebody else now
but it's you I'll be thinking about

But as long as their protocols are being filled right
and the decisions they make won't affect their own lives
