Rican Beach

Man built the rail road

Man gotta move

Man made a record

Put a needle to the groove

Man been up

Oh, man been down

Now, man don't want no one around

First, they stole our language

Then they stole our names

Then they stole the things that brought us fame

And they stole our neighbours

And they stole our streets

And they left us to die on Rican Beach

Well, you can take my life

But don't take my home

Baby, it's a solid price

It comes with my bones

Now all the politicians

They just squawk their mouths

They say, "We'll build a wall

To keep them out"

And all the poets were dying

Of a silence disease

So it happened quickly

And with much ease

Well, you can take my life

But don't take my home

Baby, it's a solid price

It comes with my bones

I may never see you again

I may never see you again

I'll keep fighting till the end

I'll keep fighting till the end

I'll keep fighting till the end

I'll keep fighting till the end

Till the end

Till the end

Till the end

Till the end

Till the end
