Lyrics
This country was built on immigration
Taking on a foreign land was our designation
Seminole ghosts weep in resignation
But we take what we want, and we give what we please
Concentration camps the new norm
Anti-immigration taking us by storm
We advertise "The Land of the Free!"
But it's only for citizens like you, and me
We taunt the world
We try to instill our western philosophy
We run the world
We seek to employ all your darling boys and girls
And we wonder why they hate us
And it's not because they ain't us
We beat our chest on our wealth
But there's strings attached if you want our help
We fly a flag of decency
But it comes at a cost
Your culture, your heritage, your language, beliefs
Aren't leaves on our liberty tree
You can't vote, citizen of no land
But your labor is what we exploited
Doing jobs that no one wants to do
Why can't your work expiate you?
It's one part racism, one part greed
One part manipulation to feed the wealthy's need
If I had my way, citizen today
Expand the dream, help us pave the way!
We taunt the world
We try to instill our western philosophy
We run the world
We seek to employ all your darling boys and girls
And we wonder why they hate us
And it's not because they ain't us
We beat our chest on our wealth
But there's strings attached if you want our help
We fly a flag of decency
But it comes at a cost
Your culture, your heritage, your language, beliefs
Aren't leaves on our liberty tree
We taunt the world
We try to instill our western philosophy
We run the world
We seek to employ all your darling boys and girls
Hey, Marco fucking Rubio
How can you sit there in your million-dollar house?
(Ghost of the Seminoles)
When there are kids sleeping in cages
(Ghost of the Seminoles)
Their family is just trying to get a better life
(Ghost of the Seminoles)
They are doing what your family did
You fucking hypocrite!
Ghost of the Seminoles
Ghost of the Seminoles
Ghost of the Seminole
Ghost of the Seminole
Ghost of the Seminole
