POLITICAL ASYLUM
Trev Teasdel January 1981 Middlesbrough
I woke up early to a thud on the door
Two burly men with a smile on jaw
“What do you want?”
“We want you,
Your stay in this country is through through through”
"We’re the deportation squad. the deportation squad."
I can’t go back to my country of origin
Chances of survival are not even thin
They’ll do me in,
In, in, in
Must be something you can do do do
"We’re the deportation squad, the deportation squad."
Bridge
Help me help me I need asylum
Help me help me Political Asylum
Your permit ran out a month ago
To you the country’s door we must show
Nothing we can do
Even if we wanted to
Your stay in this country is through, through through
"We’re the deportation squad, the deportation squad"
Now you better come with us
Save some energy, cut out the fuss
We love blacks
In our cells
Cos we can give them hell hell hell
"We’re the deportation squad, the deportation squad."
Bridge
My friendship with the dictator’s nil
My politics they make him ill
You must’ve heard
He only knows one word
And that word is "kill kill kill"
"We’re the execution squad, the execution squad."
