Don't stand on the side of coal and ICE When you happen stand on land stolen twice Once by a statue with a holiday and name in lights And once again this time with government oversight Not overnight, but over 400 hundred years From the death of tainos to caminos made of tears No kiddin', as if the truth were forbidden Written in texts we select for our children Infect the brain and whitewash the page Until we think we're the only ones left on the stage And then aim blind rage at innocent anchor kids Claim that Jose working two shifts is fuckin' dangerous Demand he speak English, but take more benefits Saying people of color belong in fuckin' tenements Lest we forget where we came from, immigrants too Or are you just playing dumb you ignorant fool Si la cosa que me molesta mucha es que El lucho para dar una poca más de esta Vida a su primera hija pero él tenía Ni puto idea de lo que perderia Una voz, tierra, sangre, y respeto Desde el empiezo de este maldito proyecto Que llamamos algunos Estados Unidos Yo he sentido que hay una gente en peligro De tener robado de sus manos su identidad La fragilidad de este nuevo cruel edad En cual el color miel de piel es una maldición A crueldad esta nación tiene adicción Es que la violencia es una forma muy baja De expresarte y que no va a trabajar A hacer nada más que dividirnos Es nuestra tierra tenemos el derecho de irnos Under threat of steely death with greed converted masses Treachery supported by disease and furtive ashes Nearly wiped off the face of the earth With all the gold on the ship you couldn't pay what it's worth Blatantly first, but given taste of the dirt The most famous rapists it's so plain that it hurts Plus Dakota thinks it's high time You put something other than crude oil in your pipeline Maybe love for someone different than you An elegant ruse, forgetting we're all brethren too Ain't taken jobs just making honest to God progress Fist raised Christian nation became Godless No contest, well beyond reasonable doubt Aside from being a fucking hippy, Jesus was brown Would identify more with those fighting the struggle Than those who are born, live, and die in their bubble
