lyrics

Down the dark streets through the rays of the soda lights,
under the stars and the satellites, rolling through the air like smoke
Past the parked cars with the stickers and the sorry dents,
around the flashing lights and the accidents, choking off every escape

Coming, they're coming
Coming, they're coming

Through the headlines and the takes and the TV news,
under the shrugs and the social cues, creeping up the sides like rust
Cyanide stares on the faces in the grocery stores
And every single day it's a little more
Poisoning what's left of your trust

Coming, they're coming
Coming, they're coming
They're coming for you, they're coming for you

They're coming for your neighbors
They're coming for your brothers
They're coming for you

Rolling into town, unannounced, in the dead of night
You’re too surprised to put up a fight, shaking, silent, and stunned
Breaking up homes, taking babies from their mothers’ arms
insisting all the while they won’t come to harm,
but we all know the harm’s already done

Coming, they're coming
Coming, they're coming
They're coming for you, they're coming for you

They're coming for your neighbors
They're coming for your brothers
They're coming for your lovers
They're coming for you

Your birthplace, your only crime
Your human worth diminished to your birthplace
The wrong side of the line
Your human worth diminished to your birthplace

They're coming for your teachers
They're coming for your sisters
They're coming for your lovers
They're coming for you
They're coming for you
