Rican Beach - Hurray For The Riff Raff

Man built the railroad, man got a move

Man put out a record, put a needle to the groove

Man been up, oh man been down

Now man don’t want no woman around

First they stole our language

Then they stole our names

Then they stole the things that brought us faith

And they stole our neighbors

And they stole our streets

And they left us to die on Rican Beach

Well you can take my life

But don’t take my home

Baby it’s a solid price

It comes with my bones

Now all the politicians

They just flap their mouths

They say we’ll build a wall to keep them out

And all the poets were dying

Of a silence disease

So it happened quickly and with much ease

Well you can take my life

But don’t take my home

Baby it’s a solid price

It comes with my bones

I may never see you again

I may never see you again

I’ll keep fighting til the end

I’ll keep fighting til the end

I’ll keep fighting til the end

I’ll keep fighting til the end

Til the end

Til the end

Til the end

Til the end

Til the end
