We’re short of saints these days, but when refugee caravans go marchin’ in, they need our back.
when caravans approach our lands
Well I want to be in that number
When we all can lend a hand
When families are forced to flee
To the land of the Not Quite Free
Well I want to be in that number
When we welcome the refugee
Economies are broke and bent
By the 1/10th of 1%
Dictatorships deployed
Local industry destroyed
We say enough, let the people be free
And when our friends must emigrate
Escaping terror from the state
Just like ref-u-gees
Throughout history
They will make our country great
Boss Tweet harangues
He talks of gangs
They’re coming here to kill, he barks
But we know it’s just a distraction
From the rule of oligarchs
The USA has had its way
The IMF and CIA
Honduras and El Salvador
We’ve got to open up the door
Welcome in strangers and kin
Welcome in
When there’s a coup
Rule by the few
I know just what we’re gonna do
We will welcome our sisters
And brothers
Including LGBTQ
So welcome in
Strangers and kin
Let’s live together
We all win
You’ve got the freedom to be moving
Your life to be improving
Welcome in welcome in welcome in
