lyrics

We’re comfortable here in the US of A
500 years history leads us to this day
Our legacy racism poverty crime
We blame the outsider for what we’ve created

We put up our walls, we put up our fences
The people will move, despite our defenses
We put them in cells, we lock them in cages
We leave them to die and we kidnap their children

chorus
Isolation - from a world we could learn from
Fascination - with racist pride
Rationalization - of crimes against humanity
We are a damned nation, ruled by lies

You’re fed propaganda to drum up the fear
Shapes your reality year after year
You’ve only been told what you want to believe
Caught in a loop reinforcing your hatred

You put up your walls, you put up your fences
The people will move, despite your defenses
The source of the rot is inside our borders
It’s easy to hate those you see less than human

chorus

You put up the borders to keep us safe
Make America Great Again, keep that smile on your face
Break down the borders and unveil the truth
children are dying as you sit back aloof

We put up our walls, we put up our fences
The people will move, despite our defenses
We put them in cells, we lock them in cages
We leave them to die and we kidnap their children

You put up your walls, you put up your fences
The people will move, despite your defenses
The source of the rot is inside our borders
It’s easy to hate those you see less than human

chorus
