lyrics

Lay your head upon my pillow now and I'll share with you what I've always known was never mine. It's my father's and his wicked kind. But you'll have to hide under the bed, the papers with your frozen head lack the dollar signs they're looking for. But I know that your life is worth much more. So who's in charge of this fortress hotel? And who’s been using me to sell this democratic lie to history? A history of genocide, a history of wicked lies, from coast to coast built on the back of slavery. Why is it illegal for me to live in peace? No one is illegal and everyone is free. Stop riding on the back of that crooked crown. You know it's driving us into the ground. Roll over, give me one good shoulder. I know you’ve got it so stop rolling over me. Because who's gonna pick your fruit and make your food now? Who's gonna drive your taxi all around town? Who's gonna be your doctor, your lawyer, your young mislead soldier, your mother your father, your sister and your brother? They're raising your children and paying your pensions. No one is illegal. Stop deporting people now.
