Lets go
C C D D
so so you think you can tell
Am Am
heaven from hell
G G
blue skies from pain
D D
can you tell a green field
C C
from a cold steel rail
Am Am
a smile from a vail
G G
do you think you can tell
C C
did they get you to trade
D D
your heroes for ghosts

Am Am
hot ashes for trees
G G
hot air for a cool breeze
D D
cold comfort for change
C C
did you exchange
Am Am
a walk on part in the war
G G G G
for a lead role in the cage


Intro (x1): Em Em G G Em Em G G Em Em A A Em Em A A G G G G

whether your listening to hip hip-hop
or your tuning to rock
refugees on your box
we gonna take over ya blocks


lets go
C C D D
how i wish, how i wish you were here
Am Am
we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish-bowl
G G
year after year
D D
running over the same old ground
C C Am Am
but have we found the same old fears
G G G G
wish you were here

Intro (x1): Em Em G G Em Em G G Em Em A A Em Em A A G G

whether you listening to rock
or you pumping the hip-hop
refugees on your box

[Play the G G-Chord only]
critics don't mistake this for just any cover tune
I'ma take ya all to the dark side of the moon
kicking in my moms womb this song was just a thought
a young refugee labeled, just come with a passport
dad used to tell me about the american dream
my dream was waking up the projects
a young teen listening to hip-hop
my brother tuned me into rock
put me up on pink floyd a band from the british blocks

Intro (x1): Em Em G G Em Em G G Em Em A A Em Em A A G G

Play the G G-Chord till the end

whether you pumpin the hip hip-hop
or you tuning to rock
refugees in your box we gonna take over your blocks
from n.j. to bk to the uk
