Shimanchu

I'm an islander
But I'm away from my island
So I am the only island here

I keep on screaming and
You can tell me you hear me but
You don’t even know what I am
I cried on my birthday as
I described my pain but
No one there could understand
I'm an islander
My land’s been colonized
I'm an islander
I won’t be patronized
I'm shimanchu
By those who can’t see past my eyes
I'm an islander
Don’t you call my island paradise
I'm an islander
Your silence disturbs me
I'm an islander
Your absense perturbs me
I'm shimanchu
And now I know exactly where you stand
I'm an islander
I don’t need you, I don’t need

I'm an islander
But I'm away from my island
So I am the only island here
