Born and raised under the desert sun
Red, white and blue hot damn number one
Started working too young
Getting shit done
I'm from a shithole
Friend told me this was once Mexico
Hows one supposed to know
The Alamo was just so long ago
I reckon he was just feeling low
I'm from a shithole
Not quite sure of my neighbour's name
Ask them I bet they say the same
Up the road people beg for change
While I drink my beer and watch the game
I'm from
I'm from
I'm from a shithole
Gun shots heard on every corner
Cops shoot kids, walls on the borders
Statues of racist
Confederate flags
Press conference of alternative facts.
I'm from
I'm from
I'm from a shithole
I'm from
I'm from
I'm from a shithole
The only thing that they want is the USA to piss right off
To be left alone, they've taken far too much
The only thing that they want is the USA to piss right off
To just shut up we've all heard enough
We've got choices
We've got choices
We've got choices
We can hold each other up or bring each other down
Stand up for the oppressed or just hang around
Love with all our hearts or hate with all our minds
We sure aren't living free and all we've got is time
In this shithole
In this shithole
In this shithole
In this shithole
In this shithole
In this shithole
In this shithole
In this shithole
I know my town was built off the backs of immigrants
My food was flown over on last weeks shipment
I know the lost concept of innocence and a bigot holding office may be just one instance
I'm from a shithole
I'm from a shithole
I'm from a shithole
I'm from a shithole
