This one is for the refugee in us all. In D, BPM 115.

v1. Mexican girl, welcome to the land of the free,
there’s plenty of everything,
you can be anything you want to be,
but there will be a price,
and whether it’s right or wrong,
if you want to play the american way, you go along to get along

v2. every wall, every stone leads away from an old world left behind,
a poverty of choices, trapped in
an hourglass frozen in time, but
there will be a price,
pirates & ministers lure you
with their lines,
if you want to play the american way, be ready for some overtime.

v3. let there be hope,
let there be progress in our time,
climbing the rope, hand over hand
gets easy with time,
but there will be a price,
we’re refugees in body & in mind,
if you want to play the american way,
get copies of the papers you sign
