The Worthington Deportations Lyrics

Ryan Harvey

In the coldest part of the winter
The hardest time of the year
Mommy went to work like she always did
Never thought they'd come round here

In the early dawn when the sun was new
People we're starting the day
13,000 left their homes
Working hard for minimum pay

Mommy went to work and she never came home

While they were looking towards the evening
For the Guadalupe Feast
Homeland Security swarmed the plant
Talking bout false IDs

Assault rifles and riot gear
They came that terrible day
Barged through the doors, locked the gates
And started taking people away

Mommy went to work and she never came home
1,200 people rounded up
Stripped from their families
Didn't have the right papers or right shade of skin
To enjoy our liberties

1,200 people rounded up
Picked to take the fall
The corporation cooperated
The ain't getting charged at all...

Mommy went to work and she never came home

You wanna talk about identity theft?
Well I'll tell you one thing I know
1/3 of this Homeland you've militarized
Used to be Mexico

And if you wanna know the problem
It's this invasive country's plans
Sending corporations to every continent
Trying to conquer people's lands

Mommy went to work and she never came home
