[Verse 1]
We say we're not like them
A generation ago
We came on the same ships we were hidden below
[Verse 2]
We came seeking protection
Away from the strife
Away from the struggles and the hardships of life
[Chorus]
I'm not an incomer
My parents were ghosts
Sir, I was born here
So where would I go?
[Verse 3]
There's ghosts on the motorway
The world is on fire
There's ghosts on the sandflats as the water gets higher and higher
[Verse 4]
There's ghosts in the brothels
Behind thick stony walls
There's ghosts and their children in prison food halls
[Chorus]
I'm not an incomer
My parents were ghosts
Sir, I was born here
So where would I go?
