Roost

Yo chickens coming home to roost bitches
While you went south stealing their riches

One hundred years you plundered 
While putting South America asunder

Copper Silver and Gold
Polluting the land while you stole

Aluminum and Iron Ore
Thousands of death if you re keeping score

Now the poverty is wrecking havoc on their society
While you scorn their misery 

Crying about the cost of feeding the immigrant
The ugly American his bullying rant

Yes the chicken are come home my friend
That's the cost of thievery in the end
