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!!!

*instrumental*
