The Law is the Law Lyrics by August Kann

How Did All These People Get into My Room

2019

We did this seventy years ago, and now we do it again
You call it politics. You’re throwing out my friend
You say you’ll send him back home to the country where his mother was born
But he’s never been there, no thats not his home
You say we don’t have the space here
You say «the law is the law»
I say: Look into his face
I say: the law is just a law
Where would you go in a land where there’s no peace
In a land where you don’t speak the language- you just have the same color of skin
In a land where you knew no one, for how long would your heart still beat?
Where every day is a fight, and every night is defeat
You say we don’t have enough space here
You say «the law is the law»
I say: Look into his face
I say: the law is just a law
Aah lets send them out and build a wall
Aah lets send them out before they fall
To the ground and stay here forever
Lets send them out, it’ll all be better
It won’t look so bad if we do it together
What are we if we send away a child
To a land he doesn’t know, into the wild
I wouldn’t even do it to a son of a man that I hate
Nah please don’t do that, don’t send him out, the boy is just eight
You say we don’t have enough space here
You say «the law is the law»
I say: Look into his face
I say: the law is just a law
Aah lets send them out and build a wall
Aah lets send them out before they fall
To the ground and stay here forever
Lets send them out, it’ll all be better
It won’t look so bad if we do it together
