Death of a Dream
KISSES...From the UNITED STATES...of HATE!
Only Some are Welcome...Don't get SORE!
We BRAG! and We Wave our FLAG!,
But...WE..Forgot What ..IT!...STOOD FOR!
The LAND of the FREE? The HOME of the BRAVE?
But...the List is short ..Who They Choose to SAVE!
We ALL...Break our BACKS!...For LOVE of COUNTRY!
YOU...GERRYMANDER...And RIG our COUNTY!
YOU...Prey on Our ANGST!, YOU...Prey on Our RAGE!
YOU...Put US in LINES...That's Wrapped in a CAGE!
WE...whimper and wilt÷...Just like a whipped pup...
YOU...Rake in the CA$H...and Divvy It UP^
IMMIGRANTS have COME...IMMIGRANTS have TRIED!
IMMIGRANTS have BLED...IMMIGRANTS have DIED!
But, Lest YE Forget...WE just Thought YE KNEW!
YOU ARE A PRODUCT...OF IMMIGRANTS TOO!!!
