[Verse 1]

This is not a choice

It is a consequence of human action

You cannot conceive my past

So just see what you think i'm after

Jump a fence and strap myself to

Miles of moving metal and it thunders over concrete

Do you think I'd do this just for fortune?

[Refrain]

Justify your mind

Living on the French side

[Verse 2]

I'm your son or only daughter

Brought from certain slaughter

Doctor, tinker, tailor, bricklayer

From Pakistan to Eritrea

Living in a cage of shit

This jungle is a real reducer

Humanise a lion while you haven't heard of Hamid Moussa

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]

Then a boy washed

Then a boy washed

Death on your mind

He was beauty and it made you think "he could've been mine"

And the frame changed horror came

You realise that we actually were people

And you had to be kind

[Verse 4]

Then the coin dropped

Everything got rearranged

For a minute we were human

You could spare a bit of change

It's a fine line in a lifetime

Because Paris happened

And we turned back into a swarm of flies

[Outro]

Justify your mind

Living on the French side

Living on the French side

Justify your mind

Living on the French side
