Papa was killed by a death squad
Trained by the USA
Mama was raped by a hoodlum
Used to getting his way
My brother was disappeared in the night
My sister’s smoking crack
Coyote take me to America
I’m never coming back.
My step dad’s in the gun trade south
and drug trade coming north
to facilitate the blood cartel
the Empire has brought forth
Neighborhoods are chopped to bits
by brutal American hack
Coyote take me to America
I’m never coming back.
Let’s go to America, where they make the money
Where children are fatties, mucho milk and honey
Come you huddled masses, but please present your docs
Be clever oh coyote, play smart like a fox.

A government soldier got my home
I didn’t have a deed
El Presidente took it
with a promise and a screed.
It’s for the public good, he said,
the State must get its sack
Coyote take me to America
I’m never coming back.
I lost my older daughter
a junkie and a mule
My son was killed in a gun fight
Where I live that’s the rule
But I swear my youngest baby girl
will have something they lack
Coyote take her to America
She’s never coming back. Good bye my precious baby
who’s never coming back.
She’ll go to America, where they make the money
Where children are fatties, mucho milk and honey
Come you patriot bigoteers, please don’t shoot the tots
Be clever oh coyote, play smart like a fox.
