Inmate At Guantanamo

Inmate At Guantanamo

Original lyrics Sting - Englishman In New York
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/sting/englishmaninnewyork.html


You might recall me from your TV-screen
I am that guy in orange clothes
The weather here is not so bad I'll tell you so
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo

See me squatting in my little cell
Nowhere to go nowhere to hide
When can I meet a guy who knows the law
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo

I'm an prisoner, An illegal combatant
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo
I'm an prisoner, An illegal combatant
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo



A guy was killed by guards the other day
A pretty bad sight I must say
It takes a man to ignore the suffering and smile
We just sit here waiting for next day

I'm an prisoner, An illegal combatant
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo
I'm an prisoner, An illegal combatant
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo

Being at wrong place at wrong time and having some bad luck
You might end up in a tiny cell
Stripped down of every right and no one at all will take your fight
How long will I be rotting in this hell

The outside world don't really care at all
After all we're just arab guys
You see us as those dudes with bombs and crazy squalls
Watch us on Fox News while eating freedom fries

How long will we be on this forsaken place
Whithout even being charged
How many more tortured people will it take
Before the world will say Hey that's enough

I'm an prisoner, An illegal combatant
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo
I'm an prisoner, An illegal combatant
I'm an inmate at Guantanamo
