I'm on my way to America
To such a place
Where nostalgic dreams
Mix with primal screams
Of dead liberty
I've found the road to America
The long hard stretch
Where bones and blood
Mix with Adobe mud
And Pilgrims Progress
Here's the way to America
The middle passage sea
Where Black Ivory wealth
Mix with slaver's stealth
And antebellum nobility
Make your way to America
In cargo holds
Where potato blight
Mix with breadline fights
And futures sold
Come you all to America
Through desert lands
Where bitter thirst
Mix with memories of hurt
And bloody hands
