father says head down    we don't want them finding you    mother says practice now    all the words you know       oh Arizona's burning    they say the fence turned round    now the razor wire keeps us out       mother says with luck    we'll sleep under a roof tonight    father says in the truck    we'll be crushed in tight       oh Chicago don't forget me    as the miles between us grow    keep the maple tree carved with the name of my love    the hills we would sled race down    Lake Michigan stay endless and painted in sky    goodbye       Mother says years ago    the whole world was ours to rule    father says let it go    those days are gone for good       all the signs read no gringo    but somehow we'll find our way    maybe waiting at dawn by the factory doors    sunburnt and bent in the fields    please don't turn us in    we'll be silent as the grave    as time       no gringo    no Gringo aquí    words as levies against the flood    hoy cerrado    there's too many to feed    room for only our own kind, our own blood    no gringo, no gringo aquí    you have stayed in this land for too long    tan amargo    but there's no time to grieve    you just pack up your things and move on
