Don't Assimilate

from Ruido Debajo Del Puente by Eskera

/

lyrics

Fuck your bullshit, anyone can immigrate?
Regardless of creed, their origin or birth place?
This sack of lies, misguided truth disguised in patriotic prose,
read by a fascist telling you
that "all you have to do is assimilate, let go of everything
you once believed, to be a true american,
your heritage, your culture and past.
Make room for just one language.
room for just one flag."
Well I say fuck your flag. Fuck your state.
Fuck your loyalty to just one nation.
It is pointless anyways.
When all you do, you do it to get yourself ahead
while making you look like a martyr
to the whole country when you say
"our immigration laws embrace these immigrants
and if only they were to assimilate
they would be equally treated"
But a lie disguised as truth is still a lie at the end
so fuck assimilating to immigrate!
No, don't assimilate just to immigrate.
Don't turn your back on your heritage. Don't give in to their shit.
Don't believe their shit.
