How did they do this to you ?

How did they do this to you ?

Were you the weapon that they used

As they tore apart the family

Did they bring you here

As they were passing through ?

Tell me how did they do this to you ?



And now you don't want to go home

And now you say that you never

Will go home

Take a tram across the city

Past the places where your brother died

Of the comfort for the girls

Who work alone

And I can't tell you that you're not alone



In the cities of the far north

The skies are cold and clear

The loneliness is aching

And after all this time

And after all these words

Your hands are still shaking



Why did they do this to you ?

Tell me why did they do this to you ?

Were they cut off from their past ?

Did they try to kill the future ?



Do we all forget the things

That we once knew ?

Why did they do this to you ?

In these far northern cities ...



Who was it that did this to you ?

Who was it that did this to you ?

Well if I could have my way

I would line them up against a wall



Do unto them as they have done to you

Who was it that did this ?

WHo was it that did this to you ?
