letra de foreign object - otis mensah

chorus

why don’t you want me here
why must we live in fear
why must my blood stain ground
you talk of land as if you spat the piles of earth
from your mouth out

why don’t you want me here
why must i drown in tears
why must your gun go bang
like i sn-tched that old money out your hand
it’s because i scare you out your wits

i must scare you out your wits
i must scare you…
out your wits

i must scare you out your wits
i must scare you out your wits
i can see the hairs on your back start to pr-ck

i must scare you out your wits
yeah
i swallowed a foreign object
i’ve swallowed a foreign object
i’ve swallowed a foreign object
a foreign object
i’ve swallowed a foreign object

verse

i think i swallowed a foreign object
i felt it slipping down my throat and it got lodged in my neck

i’ve swallowed a soul
i think i swallowed your soul
oh here it goes!
i exhaled and out flew a swallow from the hole in my head

a foreign object
this object is not a part of me
but seems to be the only thing that you can see
and i don’t know what in gods green earth
you see in me
you only see this foreign object

when patriotism is next to satanism:
you made this place your god
now guard it until you’re dearly departed
not here to stand impartial
my forefathers martyred
yet injustice harbours
pressed with oppression and hardship
shipped from harbours
to build western civilisation taj mahals and plazas
while you lounge in parlours

i could have been made in china
slaved in libya
k!lled in gaza
we’ve fallen for perks and charters
all of my people were stole and bartered
working mines
crafting gold from coal and carbon
worked to bone for nada

watch your nonchalantness
history repeats
the present is never safe from modern day stalin’s and kamikaze karma
k!ll for your country and it’s honour
soldiers like ted bundy
raping and k!lling for currency and commas
but still heroes in the column
they’d colonise the stars if they could
kneel to pray against injustice as you should
and face the slander of the ever-deep
wide web
tell me what is moral good
when subdued by the great grand history omnibus
in the face of apathy
this seems like moral-thuggery
confused ideas
time to chew our fear
and then lets swallow up

a little wage slavery
go ahead and let me be
states built of the backs of refugees we vilify
impeach

food plants to food stamps
to slave plantations
to concentrations camps;
carrying this trauma in my dna

i had a name but you gave me a colour
pioneers capitalising off the back of pangaea
and i’m tick boxing ‘other’

chorus

why don’t you want me here
why must we live in fear
why must my blood stain ground
you talk of land as if you spat the piles of earth
from your mouth out

why don’t you want me here
why must i drown in tears
why must your gun go bang
like i sn-tched that old money
out your hand

it’s because i scare you out your wits

i must scare you out your wits
i must scare you…
out your wits

i must scare you out your wits
i must scare you out your wits
i can see the hairs on your back
start to pr-ck

i must scare you out your wits
yeah
i’ve swallowed a foreign object
i’ve swallowed a foreign object
i’ve swallowed a foreign object

a foreign object
i’ve swallowed a foreign object
