Scrapyard refugee

Car is still on the road, but in such a poor condition, that it should be scrapped.

-Oh Jake, how much did you pay for this scrapyard refugee?
- It was only 80 quid and still has 4 months MOT on it!

Buyer: - I like your car, it really is in perfect condition and amazing service history, but it's got very high mileage.
Would you consider selling price -30%, quick sale, huh?
Seller: - No thanks, but good luck with the clocked scrapyard refugees at this price range.

Social Media Refugee

Those people who no longer are allowed on major Social Media platforms, despite never breaking the Community Standards. Attempting to create their own platforms results in the shadowy players getting ISP'S and Server Hosts to deny them service, thus leaving them essentially voiceless in today's society. Also see "Zucked"

My friends, I regret to inform you I am now one of the Social Media Refugees.

Refugee

We did somethin' we both know it
We don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret all the same
Somehow we get around it
Listen it don't really matter to me, baby
You believe what you want to believe
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee)

Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there
Revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee)
Now baby, you don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee) No

Baby we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this seems real to you
But it's one of those things
You gotta feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped
Tied up, taken away and held for ransom, honey
It don't really matter to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee)
No, you don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee)
You don't have to live like a refugee (don't have to live like a refugee)

Oh, oh, oh
