You are the dust and I am the rain
Lets go out in the rosy nights
Let’s take to the streets,
You and I... the last refugees
Like Bonnie and Clyde we will be free
Cause there is nothing between us
You stain the pavement
I’ll take the blame
Our love is our savior
Our life is our grave
Let’s take to the streets,
You and I... the last refugees
Like Bonnie and Clyde we will be free
Cause there is nothing between us
We're all refugees
We’re all drifting like leaves
Like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Cause there's nothing between us.
Live for the sunshine
Smile through the rain
We're all refugees
And we're all drifting like leave
Like Bonnie and Clyde we’re both free
Cause we both say there's nothing between us.
Let’s take to the streets
You and I compete with freaks
Like Bonnie and Clyde we will be free
Cause there is nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
Lets go out in the rosy nights
Let’s take to the streets,
You and I... the last refugees
Cause there is nothing between us
I’ll take the blame
Our love is our savior
Our life is our grave
You and I... the last refugees
Cause there is nothing between us
We’re all drifting like leaves
Like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Cause there's nothing between us.
Smile through the rain
And we're all drifting like leave
Like Bonnie and Clyde we’re both free
Cause we both say there's nothing between us.
You and I compete with freaks
Cause there is nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us

Far be it for me to question Songmeaningsuser and Brett himself, but there's clearly a lot more to it than that. If anything, it's an answer to the ignorant tabloid-stirred public attitude to refugees, saying that in a sense we are all refugees. But like in other songs on this album, there's a general feeling of being rootless in his 'own country'. The Bonnie and Clyde reference is particularly important, showing that he sees him and his companion as being outlaws.
According to Brett, it's about the public's attitudes towards asylum seekers.
The lyrics are wrong, the correct lyrics are:
You are the dust and I am the rain Let's go out in the rust and Let''s gather the change
Let's take to the streets You and I we're life's refugees But like Bonnie andp Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us
You stain the pavements I'll take the blame Our love is our saviour Our life is our grave
Let's take to the streets You and I we're life's refugees But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us
'Cause we're all refugees And we're all drifting like leaves But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us
We'll live for the sunshine And smile through the rain
And we're all refugees And we're all drifting like leaves But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us
So let's take to the streets You and I compete with the freaks And like Bonnie and Clyde we're free Don't say there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us Well there's nothing between us
It's too easy compared to what Brett and Bernard have made earlier.
It's still fucking awesome in my book.
