lyrics

Bitching and moaning that you can't get a job
Crying that's your paycheck that a foreigner robbed
Generations of squatters setting shop up for years
Pump up the nationalism to bolster the fears
We've been taking immigrants for ages and ages
But now we're letting them put kids in cages
That happened before my time, so it’s not the same
We meddle in their affairs, but we’re not to blame

What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away

The shit coming out of your mouth is nothing new
It's been around for centuries, trust me I'm a jew
We go into other countries and mess with their states
Then when the refugees show up we close up the gates
You act as if you have a claim to the land
But you know the USA is built on first nation sand.

What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away

I know they don't really teach these things at school
So I'll give a little history lesson to you
For a 150 years Europe held top immigrant ranks
War depleted our workforce so businesses talked to banks
Spanish labor kept our nation, fed and making guns
That we sell to the cartels to shoot their sons
We brought them here but it was before my time
So not winning the birth lottery is now considered a crime?

What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away

This dedication to borders I'll never understand
A hegemonic system to maintain dominance
It's the 21st fucking century, we're a global community
But sure the real problem is people with colored skin
Because when it's caucasians you don't say anything

What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
