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.

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!
