Marine Tigers

You walk around the old neighbourhood

But your heart’s not in it

Nonchalantly pointing out the coffee shop

You made your plans in

The jobs you have to do there

You walk around the new neighbourhood

But your heart’s not in it

To learn any more about this country

The apartment you have to live in

They decided that we didn’t fit the records that they hold

And we agreed to go

Following the hours ending

You know we have to leave the building

You know we have to leave all the doors unlocked

We know we will not be the last

We know that they have got a plan too

A car for us to drive in

A box for us to die in

A vote for us to write in

An app we all confide in

Making money is horrible

A rotten institution

We’re here

We’re here

I told you so

I told you so

We’re here

We’re here

I told you so

I told you so

Like oil in an ocean

Like we loved that poison

Please remember as a person

It’s the land that’s always foreign

Can you still call it a country?

If all the states are broken

Can you still call it a business?

If all you do is steal?

Came in on Marine Tigers

Or the boat Lorraine was named for

We huff and puff but nothing comes

There’s nothing wrong with José

There’s nothing wrong with Moses

There’s nothing wrong with kindness

There’s nothing wrong with knowing

We’re here

I told you so

We’re here

I told you so

We’re here

I told you so

We’re here

I told you so
