about

A statement of outrage defying those in power who don’t f**kin care.

lyrics

An America that’s for the taking
In America the hearts are breaking
An America that’s for the taking

I’m the child without a mother
Handcuffed and run over
No speak English
Cross be running
Wishful thinking
Tireless running
Restless rage

An America that’s for the taking
In America the hearts are breaking
An America that’s for the taking

I’m the child without a mother
Handcuffed and run over
No speak English
Cross be running
Color blind me
Christian
Spanish
Restless Restless
I’ve no baggage
Native friends
Sickness and entitled
Guatemalan
White Amalia
Separate me
Cage me
Find me
Un-deny me
Sacrifice him

An America that's for the taking
In America the hearts are breaking
An America that’s for the taking

I’m the child without a mother
Handcuffed and run over
An empire
Restless restless
Tired tired
Ven compadre
Ven amigo
Let you find me
You translate me
Build a wall
I’ve no document
And swim a pond
Mexicanos, y peruanos
Everyone americanos

An America that’s for the taking
In America the hearts are breaking
An America that’s for the taking
