Remember the Cause

There are a lot of injustices going on across the world And the United States has a lot to answer for Okay wait, are you saying that America is to blame For the problems in other countries? Yeah So, y'all wanna know how you can spread Bernie's message? First you gotta know how I got here It just takes a little bit of history, a whole lot of empathy And an understanding that things may not be how they seem "Jechava!" It all starts with the Aztecs and how they got they ass kicked Aw shit, jump ship Now think about it, how could they tell the conquered from the conquerors When their skin was darker than theirs? Like a lot, it wasn't white, oh my God Don't you get it? They wanted the indigenous to be the hard laborers! Y los mestizos, y peones, y mulattos Y tu tienes verguenza porque eres blanco Y no entiendes cuanto tu me has costado Now let's fast forward to neoliberalism The era that influenced Hillary Clinton Now this is where even the well-meaning whites say "Bye bye I won't listen!" "But they're killing us economically" Modernization, the idea that pervaded Through the 60's and 70's "Well first of all stage an intervention!" Developing nations are placed into dependency GDP raises, the market makes changes But income inequality stays, stagnates at abysmal rates So what the orange dickhole would say is "keep the Mexicans in place" Forced to live under historical mistakes You wanna think they hate, take, rape, that's their inexplicable fate Let's look at it in the grand scheme of things ay? "They're sending people who have lots of problems" Oh, like my dad who escaped from a land where welfare was slashed? And you could say wages would've helped, but too bad Because wages are lower than you would ever understand What would you do? Would you take the chance? Try to get to America for a life that you deserve to have? But you are not in that position Fuck your position, it's a privilege Whatchu about exceptionalism, capitalism, Mexicans in factories And other foreign nations trapped in exportations We need a social Democrat like Bernard in fact So humanity does not become an artifact But I see it going in the opposite direction Military regime, right wing Like in Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile in their history What am I? A revolutionary! Revolutionary! Very scary revolutionary! Very scary revolutionary in Latin America Just repress the left, and privatize everything, end the socialists That's how the elites hold power in their closed fists They would end this vocalist That's Guatemala, Nicaragua, Ecuador y Panama All brought to you by the United States of America Standing on the piles of brown bods That is required to generate the wealth so remember the cause Everyone is equal and we deserve To live where no freedoms are robbed Or we can live peacefully under one God Indivisible And justice for all And I say all (It's true) Justice for all Remember the cause of it all "And it's coming probably, probably from the Middle East" (Remember the cause) "No conscious, no empathy We can talk about why they ended up that way But first we have to bring them to heel!"
