Get your stuff in order get your papers in hand
You think they can’t touch you, I think they can
I’m not superstitious but I read the signs
Rich men stopped trying in these trying times
Tell your daughters, get a promise from your sons
When the white van doors open drop the groceries and run
They’ll come to your church they’ll come to your home
They’ll meet you at the schoolhouse just to catch you alone
Don’t be alone, stick with your tribe
It’s only together that we survive / It’s only together we survive
I ain’t smart but I can read the signs
Don’t make them sound human, say “they have to eat”
That ain’t their stomachs growlin, I can hear their teeth
He ain't my brother, he’s no authority
The way he hides behind that badge he ain’t nothing like me
Thinks he’s a missionary man, he thinks God’s on his side
He thinks no one will know what he looks like
You better believe it, you can’t wake up like some dream
Before he steps over your corpse he’ll pick your pockets clean
Don’t be alone, stick with your tribe
It’s only together that we survive / It’s only together we survive
I ain’t smart but I can read the signs
If you're not from here they will take you away
And if you are they'll take you anyway
They've got orders to follow they've got quotas to meet
They've got hairdressers to snatch right up off the street
It doesn't matter if you're naturalized
No one’s checking documents there won't be a trial
The authoritarian dream, is it too much to ask
A government small enough to fit under one mask
Don't be alone stick with your tribe
It's only together that we survive / It's only together we survive
I ain't smart but I can read the signs
Don't be alone stick with your tribe
It's only together that we survive / It's only together we survive
I ain't smart but I can read the signs
