letra de life of hassan - papadøpe

(girl singing and before bombing)

[1st verse]
way too cold, a boy’s been born among bombings
can’t find a home, the war left him homeless
he chose to grow, no that’s what he accomplished
he didn’t go to school, but he dreamed of it
there was no school, but death and corpses
five years old, seen more guns than toys
the concrete rose, his spines wound him
the trauma proves, how the world is cruel
he wouldn’t give up, his life his fuel
he fought through all, away from war it’s rawer
crossed seas on small boats, with one more hundred
ran out of food and potable water
was found on sh-r-, between two dead bodies
was all alone, he no more had parents
stacked in mobs, in hotspots of madness
he cried every night to clear the pain off his eyes
they put him on a cl-ss to learn to read and write
first time feeling good, his dream’s realized
first day in school, parents ask to ban him
said he’s a threat to kids’ health and gladness
he made it through, inspired and challenged
made of gold, to shine over darkness
he beat death, showing off his aliveness
no one ever saw more truth than his eyes

[bridge]
nationalists on rants, spilling hate out their lungs
neon-z-s for islam, use the worst language
no one will pour their heart, to host young h-ssan
that’s the noon fore the broken gl-ss night

[2nd verse]
a 16 year old teen who loves his nation
gets no love, no help, no attention
has to provoke, so he’ll feel important
i don’t blame him, but his mom who ignored him
they call him jim, same cl-ss with h-ssan
he’s bullying him, says his dad’s bin laden
new jihad slaughter, cl-ssmates are frightened
h-ssan’s not like them, has said allah akhbar
jim’s pride is hurt, takes revenge upon him
beats him up sends him to the hospital
the princ-p-l fair and just, voted far right
h-ssan was wrong, so he did nothing

[3rd verse]
way too cold, a girl was born among bombings
can’t find a home, the war left her homeless
their parents scared, decide to leave the country
her mom packed up, her dad’s too frightened
europe is burning, the union’s fallen
they don’t know where, they’re going
they take a plane, fly to america
where the get hate, they’re immigrants
they have no fate, they search for miracles
make that dad feel he was born a criminal
now he needs a job, and he can teach math
he prays to god, he’s long been a christian
applies to a school founded by a syrian
a refugee that as a kid was h-t by aryans
says “sir, you’re hired, peace to your daughter anna
she doesn’t have to live herself the life of h-ssan”
