lyrics

This land wasn’t made for you and me
From the poisoned water to the brutality
Arbitrary lines upheld by lesser minds
So scared they need a wall to hide behind
Private property the signs all read
While the masses all beg and plead
And the line in the sand
And this wall can’t withstand
The innocents you'll ban
For escaping a war torn land

How exactly do you win a war?
Do we measure in death and gore?
Destroy years of culture for nationalists gain
Install western thought and ignore their pain

How can anyone be illegal?
Do they need to raise the flag and steeple?
How many more deaths will it take?
Until we cut the head off the snake?

How exactly do you win a war?
Do we measure in death and gore?
Destroy years of culture for nationalists gain
Install western thought and ignore

No one is illegal
