lyrics

That’s it
Enough is enough
We’re full
Can’t take any more
Babies?

Okay – all home!
Okay – begone!
Okay – off you go back
To where you all began

You! Go back to Mexico
And you! Go back to Spain
You belong to Angola
“Oh but you dragged us here in chains”
You! Go back to Poland
And you! Back to Rome
Go! Reclaim the holy land
Tell whoever’s there these days to go roam

Okay – all home!
Okay – begone!
Okay – off you go
To where you once belonged

You! Go back to India
You! Back to Iraq
“Hey but you came and ripped up our whole way of life
Can we take our country back?”
I am not an immigrant
But a settler of course
On a brave and holy mission
To civilise by brute force

Okay – all home!
Okay – begone!
Okay – off you go
To where you all came from

Have you no home to go to
Well no — you set it aflame
Well you can't stay here anyway
Or we'll do the same to you again
But I have lots of money
Oh well come on in then my friend
Ah shur it was just a jest
So you're welcome in to spend and spend

Okay – all home!
Okay – begone!
Okay – off you go
To your place of origin

You! Back to Ireland?
No that is not your home
You dirty Celts came in from foreign lands
So now keep on going
What about here above the Sahara?
Or the Levant? No keep on going down
Let's all go home to east of the Congo
Because that's where we all belong

Okay....to where we all began
