Pop Will Eat Itself - Ich Bin Ein Auslander

Artist: Pop Will Eat Itself
Song: Ich Bin Ein Auslander

Lyrics:

Listen to the victim, abused by the system
The basis is racist, you know that we must face this.
"It can't happen here". Oh yeah?
"Take a look around at the cities and the towns."

See them hunting, creeping, sneaking
Breeding fear and loathing with the lies they're speaking
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb
There is no future when the past soon come.

And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out? Will you defend me?
Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives
Trampled underfoot by the right on the rise

[CHORUS}
You owe us....Ich Bin Ein Auslander
You owe us everything... Ich Bin Ein Auslander
You owe us....Ich Bin Ein Auslander
You owe us everything... Ich Bin Ein Auslander

Welcome to a state where the politics of hate
Shout loud in the crowd "Watch them beat us all down"
There's a rising tide in the rivers of blood
But if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence

If they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out? Will you defend me?
Freedom of expression doesn't make it alright
Trampled underfoot by the rise of the right

You owe us....Ich Bin Ein Auslander
You owe us everything... Ich Bin Ein Auslander
You owe us....Ich Bin Ein Auslander
You owe us everything... Ich Bin Ein Auslander

Ich Bin Ein Auslander. (x8)

These guys are great. Subversive sounds.

They kind of remind me of alternative Dance/hip hop acts like Lo Fidelity Allstars, Stereo MCS, Asian Dub Foundation, AllFlaws

-.- Everyone is entitled to thier opinions, esp. being an "Outsider" one should should respect this - oh this song is about respecting and protecting rights - "Auslanders".

"Welcome to a state were the politics are hate".

Geez these guys must have been to nova scotia.

hate, racism, gentrification, and elitism all go hand in hand.

@TheSpudnic

Except that PWEI were going for at least ten years before the others you mention started to exist.

[hamfriese78]

i like the "Krupps" cover too...

[RayneM2011]

Is this song known by any other name? Looking up their albums I can't find this song on any of them. This video is showing a picture of the "Wise up Suckers" album but when I looked up the track list it wasn't on there. That's why I'm asking if anybody knows.

[RayneM2011]

I've been looking for this song for years and you can never find it.

@greekkid00 yeah, and your country has not done anything worthwhile in 2000 years. You got a fuckin point?
