Fortress Europe Lyrics - Asian Dub Foundation

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
