Song lyrics

Emigre

First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out.
Next they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out.
And then they came for me!

This is autonomy (My American Dream)
Stepped over on the street (Stars and stripes blinding me)
Their contagious air we breath (My American Dream)
Classism the black plague (Will mark your grave)

This is the second time, we will not fall in line,
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.

A hooded prisoner on the bay (These truths let freedom ring)
A child Darfur refugee (Home of the free and brave)
The ghosts of war who will not sleep (These truths let freedom ring)
The poor who drown in bigotry (Will mark your grave)

This is the second time, yeah, it's the second time, we will not fall in line,
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.

Fight forever more (The movement of the people)
Fight forever more (The voice of the émigré)
Fight forever more (The movement of the people)
Fight forever more (No concession, no compromise)

First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out.
And then they came for me!

No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
This is the second time, we will not fall in line!
