Hurray For The Riff Raff - The Navigator

Rican Beach

Man built the railroad,
man gotta move
Man made a record,
put a needle to the groove
Man been up,
Oh, man been down
Now man don't want,
no one around

First they stole our language
Then they stole our names
Then they stole the things
That brought us fame

And they stole our neighbors
And they stole our streets
And they left us to die
On Rican Beach

Well you can take
my life
But dont take my
home
Baby it's a solid price
It comes with my
bones

Now all the politicians
They just squawk their mouths
They say "well build a wall to keep them out"
And all the poets were dying
Of a silence disease
So it happened quickly
And with much ease

Well you can take
my life
But dont take my
home
Baby it's a solid price
It comes with my
bones

I may never see
you again
I may never see
you again
I'll keep fighting till the end
I'll keep fighting till the end
I'll keep fighting till the end
I'll keep fighting till the end
till the end,
till the end,
till the end
till the end,
till the end.
