We are the foreigners We are the mutts We are the brown bits Stuck to the melting pot We are the accent You spot on the phone "Sorry, where are you from? You're not really from here Where are you really from?" We are adapting Chopping off our flaws We steal your culture And give it back evolved We know your history The stuff you forgot Your grandparents' boats And their grandparents' slums And the flag flies high From the wall of your pride Yet together we stand In this no man's land With the facts on our side We're unheard but we're right We're done biding our time We will no longer hide We're here tonight We are the liberals We are the sluts We will break down Any taboo you've got Children of the digital At ease with the new At peace with our genitals LGBTQ Post-marriage/post-class Post-hipster/post-cool Post-gender/post-race Post-sin/post-virtue Post-nation/post walls Post-housing/post boom Post-jobs and post-hope Post-gods and post-you And your flag flies high From the wall of your pride Yet together we stand In this no man's land With the truth on our side We're unheard but we fight We're done biding our time We will no longer hide We're here tonight Will you compromise? Will you compromise? Clad those satanic mills In flame-retardant lies? Will you compromise? Will you compromise? Drown out discontent washed Ashore by alien tides? Will you compromise? Will you compromise? How low will you sink To see how high you rise? Will you compromise? Will you compromise? Will you be what you hate To purge those you despise? We're all here tonight We're all here tonight Nous sommes tous ici Estamos todos aquí
