The Coming of the Dawn
Welcome to the promised land
there is a neutral gate
No need to prove identity
for that's considered hate
Somewhere south of our beliefs
implanted in your brain
The notion that you're truly owed
a life in our domain
Not accepted by the mass
you're still not turned away
Buses waiting for you now
you catch them any day
Choose a place that you desire
they will, help you find work
You know, you have priority
big labor is your perk
Five million permits printed up
they'll pass one out to you
Citizens won't get the jobs
they're pushed aside, it's true
Chamber of Commerce lobbying
to bring the masses here
They lobby hard with everything
the citizens should fear
One day they're going to look around
and see their country's gone
No one to answer, for the mess
"The coming of the dawn".....
