Dictated by
Lines on a map
Lines drawn in ink
Lines drawn in blood
A treaty signed
By those with oil
By those enriched
By those above
We do not get
To choose our soil
To choose a home
To live in peace
We're all assigned
Some special dirt
Swear allegience
To the line
Dictated by
The "free market"
The civil war
The tyrant king
A treaty signed
By traffickers
By drug cartels
By contractors
We do not get
To close our eyes
To wash our hands
To sanitize
There is a war
Fought every day
Not by soldiers
But by our ways
Nation, homeland, country - territory
Migrant, nomad, worker - alienated
Nation, homeland, country - territory
Migrant, nomad, worker - alien
WE'RE DRENCHED IN BLOOD
Nation, homeland, country - territory
Migrant, nomad, worker - alienated
Nation, homeland, country - territory
Migrant, nomad, worker - alien
