The War at Home

Lyrics

[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!
