Emigre

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out
Next they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out
And then they came for me

This is autonomy (my American dream)
Stepped over on the street (stars and stripes blinding me)
Their contagious air we breath (my American dream)
Classism the black plague (will mark your grave)

This is the second time
We will not fall in line
No, you can't stop this exodus
No, you won't stop this exodus
No, you can't stop this exodus
No, you won't stop this exodus

A hooded prisoner on the bay (these truths let freedom ring)
A child Darfur refugee (home of the free and brave)
The ghosts of war who will not sleep (these truths let freedom ring)
The poor who drown in bigotry (will mark your grave)

This is the second time (yeah, it's the second time)
We will not fall in line
No, you can't stop this exodus
No, you won't stop this exodus
No, you can't stop this exodus
No, you won't stop this exodus

(Fight forevermore) the movement of the people
(Fight forevermore) the voice of the emigre
(Fight forevermore) the movement of the people
(Fight forevermore) no concession, no compromise
(Fight forevermore)
