From the recording This Is Not OK
In the time honored folk tradition of Woody Guthrie and others, we wanted to write a song about the heartbreaking treatment of immigrants now taking place in our country.
Lyrics
In the only home we have ever known
Hiding out 'cause no place is safe to go
There's goons creeping 'round
And doors breaking down
This is not ok in the USA
Guns, no badges, they can't be identified
Children taken, neighborhood terrorized
Let's take up the fight
And take back our rights
This is not ok in the USA
A restless wind had started to rise oh so high
A million cries of freedom as one together
Conscience gone, the rules have been compromised
As power hungry fools hide behind their lies
Now we stand side by side
With American pride
This is not ok in the USA
