Protest Song "Papers"
Today, the english class must create a protest song on the theme that we wanted. Here, we have Candice and Alexis with a song named "Papers". The subject is on the undocumented migrants.
Here the music: https://soundcloud.com/alexis-meillan/papers-with-lana-del-candou
Here the lyrics:It's a way to make them feel good
It's a way to protest as well
we hope that it will happen this afternoon
They hope that they will never have to sleep under the moon
Shall we be bilnd ?
Should they clean their mind ?
Should they love mankind ?
Shall we be blind ?
They are waiting to build their nestLittle papers are flying
Some of them an booby-tropped
Some of them can escape
But they just want to undercover
Here the coded messages:1st Part:
-To have the right to live in France
-To protest for their situation
-Waiting for a vote at the assembly
-They will never have to sleep outdoor
-Must we keep our head down to see anything?
-Must they delete this dream of liberty
2nd part:
-They are waiting to build their home
-The vote is falling
-The government make them go back to their country
-They can’t avoid the authority
-Finally, they have a job
-But they just want to have a home
And if you want to make a karaoke, here the instrumental where the song lasts longer : https://soundcloud.com/alexis-meillan/protest-song
