Huddled Masses Songtext
von American Arson

This is the end
Of a silence I can no longer defend
Our brothers are in peril

Foreign tongue, darker skin
We refuse to let them in
Wall them off, send them back
Gorge ourselves on everything they lack

Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat

Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me


Cover your ears to silence the outcry
Deaf to the plight of anyone outside
Swallow any sympathy but don′t choke

Dress it all up in patriot pretense
Slam the gate shut and pledge your allegiance
To whichever one sends them home

Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat

Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me

Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat


Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
