                   A song about ICE is a sa-ad song

                  as ev‘ry ICE detainee knows.

                  A song about ICE is a song of woe.

                  with nothing good to show.

 

                           A song about ICE is a sa-ad song,

                           ending illusions that we

                           here in the US were on our way

                           becoming a democracy!

                           ICE has now made it very clear.

                           We’re not the land of the free.

 

                  I-if you want the A-merican dream

                  you’re not likey to find it here.

                  Cap-i-tali-is-m’s wealth ex-tremes

                  have replaced it with fear.

 

                           If your accent is not quite right

                           or your skin is not lily white,

                           you could be detained and dis-appeared

                           or on a deportation flight.

                           ICE answers only to Billionaires

                           and so far they’re winning the fight!

 

                  A song about ICE is a sa-ad song

                  of darkness extinguishing light!

                  But it does not have to end this way

                  if we all stand up and fight!

 

                           Sho-ow up, record it, screa-eam, and shout

                           and come to your nei-eigh-bors aid!

                           Never, ever let ICE act without

                           resistance to every raid!

very slow->     Never give up and never give out

                          and never let our light fade!

                          

                           NEVER, EVER GIVE UP !
