Lyrics for Guantanamo Canto

Confess, tied to a stretcher No longer animal Red white and blue, choking on peace Your suicide, his politics Nay misery My country needs this freedom To contradict your humanness Meow meow meow meow La la Now we are safe Now we are safe You'll never know how you've made us safe And your son grows to kill us all We say thank you complicity Your daughter grows to kill us all And we say thanks to ease our shame
