[Verse 1]
You could be
A dealer for the cartel with a warehouse for his stash
A politician politicking, pocketing our cash
A Hollywood heartthrob with a beautiful moustache
Or you could be
A refugee
[Verse2]
And you might
Worry all the time about the price of stocks and shares
Be a very happy hippy, with your wild and wavy hair
Or a debutante who’s skipping through her life without a care
Or you could be
A refugee
[Chorus]
A refugee
Yeah, you could be
A refugee
[Verse 3]
And you might find
Your papers disappear when they destroy your home with bombs
And your money also disappears cause all the banks are gone
If you’ve been looking for a home somewhere for far too long
Then you might be
A refugee
[Verse 4]
Maybe you read
The papers every morning to get your daily news
The channel on your TV just confirms your point of view
Or you trust the algorithm so you never have to choose
You still could be
A refugee
[Chorus]
A refugee
Yeah, you could be
A refugee
[Bridge]
It’s a fragile world we live in
It’s a tough old place to be
Miss a couple pay-checks
With hungry mouths to feed
And all of your illusions
Will vanish instantly
I could be and you could be,
Anyone could be
A refugee
[Chorus]
A refugee
A refugee
We all could be
A refugee
[Chorus]
A refugee
Anyone could be
Yeah, I could be
A refugee
