Wish You Were Here

Yo, pass me my guitar let me practise yo Let's go So, so you think you can tell? Heaven from hell Blue 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? A walk-on part in the war For a lead role in the cage Uh-huh Whether you're listenin' to hip hip-hop Or you're tuning to rock Refugees on your box We're gonna take over your blocks Let's go How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming 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 Ooh, woah Whether you listenin' to rock (woah) Or you're pumpin' the hip hip-hop (doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo) Refugees 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 'bout the American dream My dream was waking up in the projects, a young teen Listen to hip-hop my brother tune me into rock Put me up on Pink Floyd, a band from the British blocks (ooh, woah) Whether you're pumpin' the hip hip-hop (oh) Or you're tuning to rock Refugees on your box We gonna take over the blocks From NJ to BK to the UK
