Exodus

Anti-Flag Exodus Lyrics
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!
