People desperate to escape the wars
Waging right where once was their front door
Yesterday they lived their lives in peace
Today bullets and bombs seem not to seize
Normal lives with normal families
Working normal jobs to feed the kids
Watch their towns burning to the ground
Blinded by the sight, deaf by the sound
Gotta get out, escape fate
Gotta get out before it gets too late
Gotta go now, you gotta get out fast
Not the first bomb, not the last
Not the first bomb, not the last
There's a place they could go they were told
Where the streets are paved in gold
Equal opportunities for all just beyond that wall
Bring your tired, bring your poor
Your huddled masses to the golden door
Life, liberty, pursuit of so much more
It's all awaiting your arrival
And so they brought their tired, they brought their poor
To a land they'd never been before
And while broken down and sore
The guards took their f*cking children
Systematic severance
Mass incarceration for the cause
No sentence, no crime, just doing time
Xenophobic patriotic white-national alt-right supremacy
Leaders of this great society, maintain modern aristocracy
Keep the gears of power grinding what's left of anyone's hopes and dreams
Elevate the wealthy and smash the poor
This is what the stars and stripes are for
Children ripped from mothers' arms
What a disgusting f*cked up way to treat
Human beings grasping for helping hands
Can't wake this dystopian dream
Recurring history
New time and place, same as before
Subjugation of the poor
This is what the stars and stripes are for
