70s & 80s

A pop song about Kilmar Abrego Garcia and Yunseo Chung and America becoming a fascist nation.

America is a Lie

She came here with her family

Only 8 years old.

Grew up like the other kids

America is her home

She went away to college

To learn and to be free

She joined protests 

for what she believed

She joined protests 

for what she believed


They ordered her arrested

‘cause our gov did not agree

She had no right to speak out

She had no freedom of speech

They tried to send her flying,
To a place she'd never known
like other students rising
She was not alone.

Because America

Is a lie

She found out America

Is a lie


He fled poverty and violence 

To a fabled promised land

The greatest nation in the world 

His future in our hands

He dreamed of a great life

Help me if you can

He said Help me if you can yea

He said Help me if you can yea


They ripped him from his car

As his child wailed and cried

They denied him all his rights

As his future quickly died

They forced him on a plane

Head bowed and wrapped in chains.

They asked for his confession

To hide their lies and shame

Because America

Is a lie

He found out America

Is a lie


We voted against Freedom

In America

We voted for fascism

In America

We voted for oppression

In America

We may never vote again

In America
