The tired and the poor
Who flee the teeming shores
We leave them stranded
Lost in our tempest
Turn cities to jails, call it tolerance
Execute youth, call it self defense
And all that’s done to our own citizens
Scared and enraged by the different
It never ends
Devise a crime of soul and skin
And paint ourselves as preeminent
The Dream could break, so we all pretend
It never ends
Built on what we break
A war without a name
Trespass and take
Then wave it all away
Begging to breathe,
Searching for safety
While we say,
Our debt is paid
“You should be grateful for this”
Eat crumbs on the table
Or get shown to the door
We leave, our past kills us
we stay and fight your wars
Can’t stay above without those below
Crushed by the weight we refuse to hold
Fire from our tongues while or blood is cold
Carry the cross for our spoiled soul
Stolen hope
No redemption in our regress
Contort, constrict the body
Steal the right to just exist
Streets flood with the needy
We put them there
to dream of a world that
We know we can be
Never lose yourself in the bliss of a broken dream
(We’re never free)
Never lose yourself in american agony
(We’re never free)
Slaves to things we never say
A cycle of submission
Of chains with no escape
Trespass and take
But solace never stays
