ICE is uniting the country
With its brown-shirted, fascistic ways.
In our hearts we are all of us rebels,
Not just sheep who’ve been put out to graze.
ICE’ bosses support all the mayhem,
Think the Don gives them license to kill.
What none of them yet seems to realize?
We haven’t all swallowed their pill.
Our resistance is forming and growing.
Ev’ry protest brings more people in.
We’ll show up with our signs and our voices
To throw ICE into history’s bin!
There’s power in the power of the people.
And the people are seeing the light.
The Don and his minions expected
They’d roll over us all with their might.
Well, their might is the thing that has backfired
As its use has been vicious and cruel.
They thought we’d buy into their hatred,
Look away and be played like a fool.
Well, elites may have faded like cowards,
Our Institutions may have caved and withdrawn.
But resistance is growing from ground up.
We’ll show up til the Mad Man has gone!
