Wrecked and frustrated The more he tries just to fit in here the more He turns out to be a prisoner In this free world The mob degrades him A little stone in a system without trust Turns out he's nothing but Criminal dust Some say it takes a while To turn around their minds To wash away the fears They built in their depressing lives Although he could be glad To leave this war behind They still won't let him get some sleep at night Oh! We will protest and set their homes on fire Expel them from our holy land Our home We don't know them and we don't wanna know They're different, that's why they need to go That's all Wade in the water Don't lose your faith Try not to falter On this weary way I'd rather be hated And end up in jail Than going back home again And die in this hell Wade in the water Don't lose your faith Try not to falter On this weary way I'd do it all again I'd do it one more time As long as it brings me far away I'll never give up trying To live a humane life
