Lyrics:
In my city
shifting sands lie under stone
Holy waters
orange waves on private shores
Look out or be swallowed whole
Living’s not for everyone
hold on to your mother tongue

And resurrection is the only way to cope
Rubber bullets broken bones
over and over keep the score
And if you find yourself all strung
choking on your half a lung
hold on to your mother tongue

In my city
when it rains it floods
when it’s hot it boils
We were born in hidden corridors
Keep the kids away from doors and windows
Lucky blue eye hanging on the walls

Living’s not for everyone
hold on to your mother tongue
