haley heynderickx & max garcía conover - song for alicia كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
come ’round you roving dancers
if this speaks to the souls you were given
if you, like me, have never believed
in this kingdom of commerce we live in

[verse 2]
language is the beginning
well, language is never enough
and the “terrorists” look like my mother
and do most of the same kind of stuff

[verse 3]
here’s to pedro, here’s to lolita
kept looking at what they were seeing
like those new york signs in the sidewalk grime
no black stars or puerto ricans

[verse 4]
y que viva alicia rodriguez
and the thousands before and since
who talk too fast, get pushed and push back
and then choose to start talking again

[chorus]
so it’s ride, alicia, ride
move, alicia, move
i would be boricua even if i was born on the moon
[verse 5]
alicia was put into prison
no trial or charge or conviction
her crime was living the one way there is
and they’re screaming to get the tape off your lips

[verse 6]
i came here to sing for tomorrow
to not let today get away
’cause the signs may have changed
but the lines are the same
and they’re still blaming us for their shame

[verse 7]
they’re still blaming us for their need
for a culture of ecstatic greed
they still say what they said is not what they meant
and its our fault for listening

[verse 8]
my grandpa was a communist
they might’ve said a terrorist
and when someone looks at what i’ve done
i know songs won’t seem like enough
songs are for sure not nearly enough
[chorus]
so it’s ride, alicia, ride
move, alicia, move
i would be boricua even if i was born on the moon

[verse 9]
the two groups convicted of american sedition
are the proud boys and the puerto ricans
we share a wikipedia page
so what else can you say

[verse 10]
this ticker tape accumulation, neoliberal sublimation
new precariat convinced that immigrants are corporations
hold the phone, just be patient while we burn your poets pages
while the doctor takes the medicine and tries to f_ck the patients

[verse 11]
oh my god, they put her in a courtroom in chicago
and they bound her hands behind her back with tape across her mouth
and when she screamed the tape released
and she said what the world says

[verse 12]
“you cannot own a country, you do not own a country”
and so two guards took her legs and held her to the floor
while another punched her in the face and gagged her like before
and she got fifty years or more and they never said what for
[verse 13]
she was pardoned in 1999
she’s been saying the same thing the whole time
and she’s saying it still and she’s saying it now
she’s saying it still and she’s saying it now

[chorus]
so it’s ride, alicia, ride
move, alicia, move
i would be boricua even if i was born on the moon
