Bilingual
They need your support
So they can get inside the fort
They promise that your dreams
Will come true when they win
Celebrate the victory
When they get inside the fort
They don't need you anymore
They don't return your phone calls
They got soldiers on every door
Who will make you to go away
They have lost their memory
They embrace the enemy
They've got houses overseas
And they don't wanna be
Wasting time with anybody
Who's occupied with how they were freed
By the millions who died for liberty
Bring it back home to the people
Bring it back home to the back of their line
Bring it back down to the ghetto
Bring it back down to the roots of their line
They are running away
From the places they were raised
To make their grade
For their VIP rat race
So the people can say
They deserve to be praised
Denying the crimes
And the violence of our times
When the raping of a child
Manages to cause a sigh
Deciding it's alright
Just to tell the world a lie
There's the AIDS we deny
And the worship of the booze
The obsession to get high
Child, women and old people we all abuse
Then we smile
As we spread the good news
About just how perfect we are
Bring it back home to the people
Bring it back down to the back of their line
Bring it back home to the ghetto
Bring it back down to the roots of their line
Bring it back home to the people
Bring it back down to the back of their line
Bring it back home to the ghetto
Bring it back down to the roots of their line
