The New Rise Of Labor

i'm sorry that you came all this way to make your claim

i'll see what the foreman says

it won't be easy to find your way out west you see

it's gone, all the gold is gone



but the sound of firework displays frighten us all

as the flag stands tall



border crossing now seems as easy as before

but still, all the works been sold

my neighbor says he's seen all his family

they dream of days without eyes to blame



but the sound of firework displays

frighten us all

as the flag stands tall



California gold rush it took us by surprise

but lines were drawn and borders made

guns enforced the rules

now it's rhetoric we use

but still salute the flag we will



but the sound of firework displays

frighten us all

as the flag stands tall
