I'm just a son of a son of an immigrant
Back in the day just a child so innocent
Learning of the way that our people first came on the waves
The story always sounds so strange
When the first ones arrived in this land
Carrying a sword and a flag in their hands
Stuck it in the ground
Claimed it for the crown
Now all the people are wrapped in chains
And now the whole world's been claimed
And the whole world's been claimed
Fences surrounding every inch of ground
And it all just seems insane
You can keep your flags and keep your deeds
Keep your maps and your artificial needs
But if you don't want the spark to ignite
Acknowledge that land is a human right
I will raise my flag with a silent shout
I will make no claim on this sacred ground
And plant my flag deep within the Earth
We surrender to the soil, go back to the dirt
To understand
This is no man's land
This is no man's land
As I went walking
I saw a sign there
And on the sign
It said no tresspassing
And on the other side
It didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me
I'm just a son of a son of an immigrant
But I see some of the ones that are ignorant
Wanna go running for their guns and belligerence
But to the land no such thing as legitiment citizens
Gate your community
Wall up your border
Locked opportunity
Hide your disorder
Build your walls and fence all around
We'll just be tearing them down
I will raise my flag with a silent shout
I will make no claim on this sacred ground
And plant my flag deep within the Earth
We surrender to the soil, go back to the dirt
To understand
This is no man's land
This is no man's land
