The War at Home
[Intro]
Go!
[Hook]
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the cops!
Hiding in shadows, here comes la migra!
Two days in the desert, here come the pigs!
[Verse 1]
We came as inmates through Ellis Island
We spread as a virus that killed through this fine land
A nation of subjugation and alienation
Black, yellow, Indonesian, Puerto Rican, and Haitian!
A chain of command, and they're all under orders
While many slave or die to cross invisible borders
I challenge with a simple solution:
Tear down the walls! Rise up! Revolution!
[Refrain]
"Our weakness in debt" (Revolution!)
"For a better understanding of our country" (Revolution!)
"This theory of an intermittent war" (Revolution!)
"Can cause us a great deal of problems"
[Chorus]
The war at home, the wars abroad!
All soaked in blood and lies and fraud!
The genocide that we ignore
Is right outside your fucking door!
Conquistadors across the seas
Have come ashore to spread disease!
Imprisoned in suburban homes
You will rot sick and die alone!
[Hook]
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the cops!
Hiding in shadows, here comes la migra!
Two days in the desert, here come the pigs!
[Verse 2]
Capital and national aligned and intertwined
First, first! Worldwide! Wealth Confined!
To the business-aligned allies and the G8 defined
Exploitation, acquisition, resource request denied
Diffuse, resist, react, and Refuse!
React, reject, collect, and abuse!
Border Patrol take toll, sets out to condition and control!
Slay el caballero before it affects the status quo!
[Refrain]
"Our weakness in debt" (Revolution!)
"It is not a continuous state" (Revolution!)
"This theory of an intermittent war" (Revolution!)
"Can cause us a great deal of problems
For a better understanding of our country"
[Chorus]
The war at home, the wars abroad!
All soaked in blood and lies and fraud!
The genocide that we ignore
Is right outside your fucking door!
Conquistadors across the seas
Have come ashore to spread disease!
Imprisoned in suburban homes
You will rot sick and die alone!
[Hook]
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
Run, cover! Here comes la migra!
Run, cover! Here come the pigs!
[Bridge]
To live without a heart
As another migrant family is torn apart
The xenophobia's here
But life inside a bubble that is full of fear
Will crush your soul inside
Another empty shell full of national pride
To live inside a cage
Cutting grass or washing dishes
For a slavery wage
To live without a heart
As another migrant family is torn apart
The xenophobia's here
But life inside a bubble that is full of fear
Will crush your soul inside
Another empty shell full of national pride
To live inside a cage
Cutting grass or washing dishes
For a slavery wage
[Chorus]
The war at home, the wars abroad!
All soaked in blood and lies and fraud!
The genocide that we ignore
Is right outside your fucking door!
Conquistadors across the seas
Have come ashore to spread disease!
Imprisoned in suburban homes
You will rot sick and die alone!
