Emigre - Anti-Flag

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 emigre

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!
