Mobility is your inherent right!!!!
Is this Nazi Germany?!?!?!
Must my papers be in sight?!?!
Their jack-boots slapping
They walk down our streets
Their hatred stamping
Our rights beneath…
Seeking out the different
Getting more vociferant
Prison complex so clinquant
Always wanting what you got
Rights actively they supplant
Will you comply? I know I just can’t.
Attacking the ideals that made our country strong
Proclaiming for their rights while treating ours so wrong
Harming humans and economy every day, all day long
Don’t fool yourself, this is Democracy’s swan song
Prison profiteers lobby every day
Upon the ethnic and the immigrant, they prey
765 million in ICE contracts, alone
GEO Group is this nation’s fell Capone
It’s easy money, you must understand;
Target for detainees, money falls into your hand
Back the fascists and when they get on in
Their will find them for you and it will never end
Immigrants built this nation and work here every day
You came from them, too, no matter what you say
Attacking the ideals that made our country strong
Proclaiming for their rights while treating ours so wrong
Harming humans and economy every day, all day long
Don’t fool yourself, this is Democracy’s swan song
Use five calls dot org to stay on top of your reps
Put up your wallets and stop using the banks
Remind them without “We The People”
We’ll just begin again….
We’ll just begin again…
We’ll just begin again!!!
