I've got seven days to
sell everything I own
Cause truckloads of us
are being driven from our homes
I'm prone to using logic
but the logic isn't there
And since they don't care,
I'm being teared away from
the country
And I'm scared, broken glass everywhere,
my house is left bare
So I stare into the sky,
I see why my heritage
makes me a criminal
I've been beaten so hard,
my senses are minimal
My country, Tis of Thee,
is the song that I sing
But being led at gunpoint
is so embarrassing
Life I kerosene and blankets out of rags
I got clothes on my back
and none in my bags
They call me white freedom,
but it's not the current status
Each step that I take
changes my apparatus
For life, since this life is being taken away
I'd die for this country on any given day
I stay to the back,
hoping to be forgotten
But with every step I take,
I can see I'm treated rot ten
I've gotten no respect,
certainly it's the key
What's being done to Jews
is now be ing done to me
They'll fight for him,
but they won't fight for me
Labeled American, but I'm not truly free
I see the rising sun,
my flag in stores and stripes
Yellow -skinned American really has no rights
Another day,
and I'm lucky to catch my breath
So I pray that my life
will overcome and she
My flesh is weary but my
soul is strong so I keep on
The government will have us caged
until this war is gone
I've bled for this country,
I've even paid the tax
But they treat me like the enemy
cause I'm just a stinking chap
Whispers in the night,
do you really hear?
Cause I've overcome my fright
that I'll be here for years
Sign me up for the army,
I'll find my own family
And kill the true enemy
with anything you hand me
We got no options,
just waiting for the truth
And the truth is absolute,
but the country's come unglued
Most soldiers silently sen
tence us to death
But their wishes are like miracles,
they can't manifest
I'm fresh to your reasoning,
I even understand
But the com mon actions of the guards
don't treat me like a man
The beat of my heart,
I swear I'm all alone
I was king of my world,
but now I've been dethroned
I know, I guess I need
a verge
The heart
says it's time to go,
I need some freedom
The heart says it's time to go,
I need some freedom
The heart says it's time to go,
I need some freedom
The heart says it's time to go,
I think I'll just sleep
I'm sick of being patient,
I need to escape
I've given it some time
but my pride will not break
My fate is in my hands
and it's got to be felt
I can't play this hand
with the cards that were dealt
No one else seems to feel the same
So I'm all alone,
a free soul behind fences like a bull without bones
Sincere letters from mothers that relate
I watch clever mothers die
for sharing food off their plates
There's rules and regulations,
you got to follow orders
My country's torn against me,
so I'll run for its borders
I'll jump the fence, I will survive
It all makes sense, just don't lose stride
I will provide, I'll stay alive
This is dedicated to my
people that have died
With slanted eyes, you got to think twice
This is for feeding us sushi
and rice chopsticks
Won't stop at all, my profit was lost
I was humble till you stumbled
Now I've been crossed
Two years and ten days
Locked inside this camp
And I can't leave till you
become the champ
Standing on the hand
I'll take my leave with maps
Surround myself in black
Leave with all of the facts
What are we to you?
Just a bunch of japs
Ten feet outside the camp
And I was shot in the back
Oh no, don't we get the beat of my heart
Oh no, don't we get the beat of my heart
Oh no, don't we get the beat of my heart
Oh no, don't we get
the beat of my heart
All alone, no one else
