Drink without ICE

Verse 1: 

I’ll take my drink without ICE, Bartender, just make it neat

No need to chill the truth that’s runnin’ hot on the evening news

They say “we don’t want criminals not those bad hombres”

Since you stopped lookin' our own suits just got away

Verse 2:

Schoolyard’s on a lockdown and Main Street’s full of holes now

But the raids they just keep rolling on

When your only crime is wanting what they told you, you could be                                 

And the law crashes down - blitzkrieg on your American dream

Pre-Chorus:

Lady Liberty in the rearview was 1933 just a preview?

Oh bartender, if you’ve got the time, I’ll take my drink without ICE

Chorus:

I’ll take my drink without ICE

I want streets without the sirens

Nights without a raid

This land is our land

Not just for the ones you say can stay

If your own were forced to flee would you still call it a crime?

Would you beg for mercy as they vanish you in the night?

Now it’s your neighbor’s door they’re kicking — if not now then, when?

Oh bartender, pour me another then, I’ll take my drink without ICE!

Verse 3:

First they came for one now they come for us all the same

On stolen land we stake our claims then turn away in shame

That flag waves over courthouses and halfway homes alike

Our freedom’s dead and buried if we can be taken in the night

Bridge: 

Fear wears many faces ... all of them are loud

You can’t build up a nation by boxing people out

“We hold these truths to be self-evident” but

Fear can dress in uniform or even run for President

Tell me: who are we becoming? Who are we trying to be?

Our freedom’s just a whisper if we stand by silently.

Pre-Chorus:

Lady Liberty in the rearview was 1933 just a preview?

Oh bartender, I hope it's understood, we want ICE out for GOOD!           

Chorus:

I want streets without the sirens

Nights without the knock(!) 

This land is for the dreamers                             

Not just those you let stay here 

If it was your family out there running, would you still draw that line?

Would you hide your children, or stand and serve your time?

Bartender, pour me another and for the love of all that’s right

I’ll take my drink without ICE!

I’ll take my drink without ICE!

Outro:  

Tell me: who are we becoming? Who are we trying to be? 

Our freedom’s just a whisper if we stand by silently.

Lady Liberty in the rearview was 1933 just a preview?

Oh bartender, if this is our last call, 

I’ll take my drink without ICE!

I’ll take my drink without ICE!

I’ll take my drink without ICE!
