Savages
In the sands of the Arabian sea is a
Baby child and her family running
From a brother trying to take their lives
Venture west to the land of the free
A woman stands tall over the sea as a
Man ruled by fear keeps homeless masses away
You say you wanna build a wall now, wall now
(Are we Berlin back in 1961?)
That don't make any sense at all now mister
(Thought we were living in America)
We are not savages
Who, who are you?
We are all refugees
Who, who are you?
We are not savages
Who, who are you?
We are all refugees
Who, who do you think you are?
Easier for a camel to get through
The eye of a needle than for you
To let a family find refuge
In the country that made it's room for you
And I wonder, is there room for me?
90 days, just delay until a second term
White noise out your mouth while our cities burn
Lack of will, lack of heart
Just gum up the system
Wish I could see my son and daughter
You know I really miss 'em
Sleep inside your beds
Lie next to the man in red
While sons & daughters of men
Have no home to lie their heads
If stones were bombs
Then would you be the first to throw?
Or do you write your wrongs in the sand
'Cause you just don't know
Looking for the baby Jesus
You threw out with the bathwater
'Cause you were more concerned
With impressing your alma mater
You say you wanna build a wall now, wall now
(Is this America or Berlin in '61?)
That don't make any sense at all now, all now
(Just see insanity, calamity, oh, where's the Love?)
We are not savages
Who, who are you?
We are all refugees
Who, who are you?
I'm your mother, I'm your brother
I'm a refugee
I'm your sister, I'm your father
Where's the unity?
We are not savages
Who, who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Make America...
Make America...
Wake up America...
Make America give a shh
Raise a brand, raise a man
Raze a tower of sand
'Til one day, one wave came and washed it away
No matter the pain
Love will make a way
Love flips tables at the hypocrites dinner party
Baby child and her family running
From a brother trying to take their lives
Venture west to the land of the free
A woman stands tall over the sea as a
Man ruled by fear keeps homeless masses away
You say you wanna build a wall now, wall now
(Are we Berlin back in 1961?)
That don't make any sense at all now mister
(Thought we were living in America)
We are not savages
Who, who are you?
We are all refugees
Who, who are you?
We are not savages
Who, who are you?
We are all refugees
Who, who do you think you are?
Easier for a camel to get through
The eye of a needle than for you
To let a family find refuge
