Rican Beach Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man built the railroad, man gotta move
Man made a record, put a needle to the groove
Man been up, oh, man been down
Now man don't want no one around

[Verse 2]
First they stole our language
Then they stole our names
Then they stole the things that brought us fame
And they stole our neighbors
And they stole our streets
And they left us to die on Rican Beach

[Chorus]
Well, you can take my life
But don't take my home
Baby, it's a solid price
It comes with my bones

[Verse 3]
Now all the politicians
They just squawk 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

[Chorus]
Well, you can take my life
But don't take my home
Baby, it's a solid price
It comes with my bones

[Outro]
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
