Josh O'Keefe - Ballad of Yana Farage

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
Oh Yana Farage the old man's kin
Knocks on the door begs can I come in
Shes drenched to the bone from ❲?❳ rain
They once took her home and her brothers brain
But he says with a wink and a grin
"There ain't no room at the inn"

★ Verse 2 ★
His gullible companion screams "Go back to your land"
While he pumps the wells and picks the flowers he can
The baby it cries he should go heed the call
But the lower the people the higher the walls
And he says with a cross 'nеath his chin
"There ain't no room at the inn"

★ Verse 3 ★
Hе says the terrorists are s'coming
Your heart should be racing
Some got diseases and they're all guns a'blazing
But ol' Yana Farage a better life she seeks
She's down on her knees and she's praying for peace
But he says with his eyes full of sin
"There ain't no room at the inn"
