Wish You Were Here

(Let's go)

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell?

Blues skies from pain

Can you tell a green field from a cold, steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

Did you exchange or walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage?

(Uh-huh)

(When they listen to the hymn, they poppin', poppin' )

(Or you tune into rock)

(Refugee's on your box)

(We gonna take over your blocks)

(Let's go)

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost sould

Swimmin' in a fish bowl, year after year

Runnin' over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears

Wish you were here

Yeah

Whoa, oh, oh (Whether you're listenin' to rock)

Whoa (Or you're bumpin' to hip hip-hop)

Ooh, (Refugee's on your box)

Critics, don't mistake this for just

Any cover tune

I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon

Kickin' in my mom's 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 wakin' up in the projects

A young teen, listenin' to hip hop

My brother turned me into rock

Put me up on Pink Floyd a band from the British blocks

Oh, (Whether you're bumpin' to hip hip-hop)

Oh, (Or you tune into rock)

(Refugee's on your box)

(We gonna take over your blocks)
