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.

Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out.

AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME



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!
