Without Borders
SO YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA LIGHT UP THE
BORDERS/I SAY WE'RE GONNA LIGHT UP YOUR ASS/In the sweatshops
and the orchards they pick your fruit and make your clothes/Today's the
Great Depression in the world your TV never shows/The Grapes of Wrath sits
on your shelves, you may claim to think it's true/While the Okies of today
go hungry amidst the food they made for you/And then you dare to scapegoat
these people, the victims of your games/For problems in the USA, your system
is to blame/You want us to blame these migrants for the failure of your
lies/But there's one things you didn't count on, we can think and we've
got eyes/My interests lie with them, they don't fucking lie with you/I
stand to gain nothing from the things that you do/
I don't care about your market share,
I don't care about your profit loss/YOUR FUCKING THEM AND FUCKING US
AND ITS FUCKING GOING TO STOP/The border exists so you don't have to
see the consequences/So you can sit in comfort amidst your material possessions/"Do
you know what would happen to this country?", I've heard/Then maybe that's
what this country fucking deserves/Your capitalism's based on robbery,
starvation, and war/And you don't even have the courage to see what it
does to the poor/ You've got no right to be protected from the effects
of your life/To lounge around secluded with your children and your wife/To
never meet the hungry children, the desperate women and men/The same story
from the 30's repeats again and again/You just want them to work in factories
in Mexico and hide/In a global economy the border is Apartheid/But someday
you will pay for the things you do- THE GRAPES OF WRATH ARE FILLING
AND THEY WILL BURST ALL OVER YOU/Why should they be starving while
you live like kings?/Why should they do without when they make your things?/Why
should you be fat, and they be thin?/ OPEN UP THE BORDERS AND LET THEM
ALL IN/And we'll build a new world, from what's left of the old/That's
based on people, not based on gold/A world where people won't have to take
orders/A world without kings, without slaves, WITHOUT BORDERS.
