Weeds
KITCHEN - Pulp Lyrics

We came across the North Sea with our carriers on our knees
We traveled across the North Sea in a challenging situation, with our belongings on our knees.

Wound up in some holding camp somewhere outside Leeds.
Ended up in a temporary camp located outside Leeds.

Because we do not care to fight, my friends - we are the weeds.
We, as a group, choose not to engage in conflicts or battles; hence we are seen as insignificant or unwanted.

Because we got no homes they call us smelly refugees.
Since we don't have permanent residences, people refer to us derogatorily as refugees with poor hygiene.

This cut-price dairy produce that turns our bones to dust.
The affordable dairy products we consume negatively impact our health.

You want some entertainment? Go on, shove it up me - if you must.
If you desire amusement, go ahead and use me for your entertainment purposes, despite my objection.

Make believe you're so turned on by planting trees & shrubs
Pretend to be enthusiastic about planting vegetation like trees and shrubs.

But you come round to visit us when you fancy booze 'n' drugs.
However, you only visit us when you desire alcohol and drugs.

If you think it's a crime, We'd like to get you out of your mind.
If you consider our existence a wrongdoing, we'd like to challenge your perspective and change your mindset.

It's just a matter of time, yeah We'd like to get you out of your mind.
It will only take time for us to challenge and change your mindset.

Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah We'd like to get you out of your mind.
We will undermine your importance and influence when you are at your best.

For a little time: for all time. Weed.
Whether for a short period or indefinitely, we will continue to exist and prevail like weeds.
