Hurray for the Riff Raff – Rican Beach Lyrics

Lyris:

Man built the railroad
Man gotta move
Man made a record
Put a needle to groove
Man been up
Man been down
Man don’t want
No one around

First they stole our language
Then they stole our names
Then they stole the things
That brought us fame

And they stole our neighborhood
And they stole our streets
And they left us to die
On rican beach

you can take my life
But dont take my home
Baby it’s a solid price
It comes with my bones

Now all the politicians
They just squawk their mouths
They say “well 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

you can take my life
But dont take my home
Baby it’s a solid price
It comes with my bones

I may never see you again (x2)
I’ll keep waiting till the end (x3)till the end (x6)
