Fortress Europe

Keep bangin' on the wall

Keep bangin' on the wall

Of Fortress Europe

2022, a new European order

Robot guards patrolling the border

Cybernetic dogs are getting closer and closer

Armored cars and immigration officers

A burning village in Kosovo

You bombed it out, now you're telling us go home

Machine guns strut on the cliffs of Dover

Heads down, people look out, we're going over

Burnin' up, can we survive re-entry

Past the mines and the cybernetic sentries

Safe European homes built on wars

You don't like the effect, don't produce the cause

The chip is in your head, not on my shoulder

Total control just around the corner

Open up the floodgates, time's nearly up

Keep banging on the wall of Fortress Europe

Keep banging

Keep banging on the wall

Of Fortress Europe

We got a right, know the situation

We're the children of globalization

No borders, only true connection

Light the fuse of the insurrection

This generation has no nation

Grass roots pressure the only solution

We're sitting tight

'Cause asylum is a right

Put an end to this confusion

Dis is a 21st century Exodus

Dis is a 21st century Exodus

Burnin' up can we survive re-entry

Past the land mines and cybernetic sentries

Plane, train, car, ferry boat or bus

The future is bleeding coming back at us

The chip is in your head not on my shoulder

Total control around the corner

Open up the floodgates, time's nearly up

Keep banging on the wall of Fortress Europe

Keep banging

Keep banging on the wall

Of Fortress Europe

Dis is a 21st century Exodus

Dis is a 21st century Exodus

They got a right, listen not to de scaremonger

Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger

From where to what to when to here to there

People caught up in red tape nightmare

Break out of the detention centers

Cut the wires and tear up the vouchers

People get ready it's time to wake up

Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe
