about

ameover (You can't kill me) - this song is about refugees in Australia, and how they've been treated for almost 8 years in offshore and onshore detentions.

Mostly it's about showing that whatever the politicians do - they can't kill the refugees, they still have hope which is their families, friends and the people in community.

Something makes them strong in horrible cages - the love and care from wonderful people, those who are fighting for the refugees, those who resist and challenge the detention policies, and those who remind everybody - refugees lives matter.

Special thanks to Craig Foster for all his support and the Gameover campaign

Lyrics

You can do whatever you want
But You can’t kill me
You can do whatever you please
But You can’t kill me
I’ve been tortured for years
I’ve been beaten and bombed
I’ve been smashed out of home
Oh I will fight for my rights
Cause I know what is right
You can’t kill me

I can do whatever I want
But You can’t kill me
I can do whatever I please
But You can’t kill me
I’ve been bought I’ve been sold
I’ve been broken for years
You don’t know half my fears
I will fight for my rights
As I know what is right
You can’t kill me

You can’t kill me
Oh my spirit will soar
It won’t be me on the floor
You can’t kill me
