Exodus-Grant Green

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!
