THE AMERICAN WAY

i don’t know about you friend, but i don’t like what i’m seeing
down along the southern border near Mexico
they’re taking little children from their mothers and fathers
can you even imagine
ah but what’s that you say? you saying you already know?
but what kinda nation would do such a thing
what kinda nation i say
what about what they wrote on that Statue of Liberty
is this the American way?

now just imagine the kind of fear and desperation
that’s enough to make people pack up their children
and try to cross that dangerous border in the night
can’t you see we’re talking ‘bout people
trying to get their precious babies to somewhere far away
far away from murder and war and violence
and unspeakable fright
and then what kinda nation would then turn around
and take these people’s children away
what about what they wrote on that Statue of Liberty
is this the American way?

let's tell it like it is this is Nazism, man
ain’t nothin else to call it you know
except this time it ain’t the Jews and the Gypsies
this time the target is Latino
if they can get enough Americans to believe
that taking children from their mamas is alright
then they’ve got the people primed to accept most anything
like the extinguishing of freedom’s light
now you might say no, not in America
ah but look at the people ready to say
say never mind what they wrote on that Statue of Liberty
this is the American way, the American way
