Lyrics

Maria VeRSe Boys and girls, come and lend me your ears, This prophecy I tell will bring you to tears, Like a brave new world, Where only two faces appear. With one, hynopedic voice of your fears, Drowning in the melting pot, you'll disappear, In the Full, like we're told appear, Unless we embrace the difference! pre-CHORUS I don't know what I've been told, there's a another world beside my own, I must be Living in another unknown TIME-ZONE. See freely from the blindness that confines you, Step on in to a different pair of shoes, Open up your mind to another's VIEWS. CHORUS x2 This land is my land This land is your land You got what i want And I want what you have (I want what you have) NoName VeRSe Great America-merica, where everyone will stare at ya you're judged by appearances, and Rarely your character Savages, Savages, barely even humans We ALL come from immigrants, Sick of insolent ignorance I reminisce instances, when King saw a vision, Now I see raw admission of Modern McCarthyism The nation of forced assimilation Enter the Chops the melting pot, takes welting shots, from ignorant cops When will it stop, this tongue in cheek makes my stomach weak I Hungrily, wonder if famished minds are gunna eat What's it gunna be, are we gunna keep on pretending Never seeing an ending, as we keep on offending Our own Identity, so who's the true enemy? Discriminating practices, counteracting the activists Matter-fact, it's the transients that are having the planet spin So I'd have to ask you to, reconsider whose land this is pre-CHORUS I don't know what I've been told, there's a another world beside my own, I must be Living in another unknown TIME-ZONE. See freely from the blindness that confines you, Step on in to a different pair of shoes, Open up your mind to another's VIEWS. CHORUS x2 This land is my land This land is your land You got what i want And I want what you have (I want what you have) MARS Cumbia (Spanish) (Translated Spanish to English) Country of Immigrants, Country of the United States, But, a country that has forgotten of the dreams, of the children, immigrant women that crossed the border to be the working hard Of a country fighting an alien war. Maria VeRSe Lead to Breakdown So America, America Tell me why you treat me like an alien alien Make me feel like I don't have a chance in the skin I'm in make me feel like I should bleach what's already pure. Mrs. Liberty, the tired hungry and poor are in front of me Having fallen at your feet all willingly But the torch in your right hand Only serves to burn them where they stand. CHORUS x4 This land is my land This land is your land You got what i want And I want what you have (I want what you have) CHAOS!!!!!! END I want what you have
