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
