Luyện nghe bài hát Another Imperial Day

You be there
on a dark october
for the moment to be
swimming 'cross the freezing
a plastic bag of belongings just out of the water
climbing up the banks on the side
in the trees so cold
that you hardly show as a
on the heat seeking gear of the border
but you made it, you're another one
on a bench in a railway station
in the of Europe
eaten anything for two days straight
but where is a will there's allways gonna be a way

And door is guarded
and guard costs money
so the are bought and kept and raped and sold as slaves
because the borrowed from the man
and the man has allways got to be
for the deals of the borders and the IDs
and the stolen all locked away
While the women are working and gagging down on their
and somewhere in the of terminal 3
in the clogged-up corridors of the imigration
whole families with the bits of paper
are waiting to be sent back to where they from
escorted by out across the tarmac
with their bound tight with cable ties behind their backs

It's and there's fog in Rotterdam harbour
and the guard's on his break and the dogs are chained by the
figures come out from behind the cranes
make across the train
aboard a Panamanian freighter headed for the isle of grain
find a place to hide in a stack of
payload of world trade because
goods are free to move but not
oil is to move but not people
are free to move but not people
money is free to but not people

And today they got a man hauled off a truck in the port of
we watch him in silence as they lead him
clutching his battered
but his face him, lost and scared and defeated
sitting in the back of the port authority van
well, where do any of us from, it's pretty hard to say
while in the sky above us tonight
the bombers are the other way, south and east
into the red crimson sunrise of another imperial day
