lyrics

We wept by the rivers of Babylon
When we remembered our home in Zion
Where upon the willows in the midst of it all
We hung our hearts there and retired our song
Come along every capitalist and require from us a song
Tormenting us saying sing us one of the songs of Zion
But how could we sing out our lord's song
When our surroundings have become foreign

If I forget you oh Jerusalem
May the skill that my hands knew fall to the ground
If I forget that view atop of the mountain called Zion
May my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth
Then how could we sing out our lord's song
when our surroundings have become foreign
Sing it again now
How could we sing out our lord's song
When our surroundings have become foreign

Los Angeles river meets Pacific Ocean
Most southwestern corner is where I been bound
Under elevated alert terrorizing America
Oh the daughters of Babylon are the devastated ones
Increasing in spending on the taking up of arms
To decrease those depending on the federal social programs
And how could we sing out our lord's song
when our surroundings have become foreign
How could we sing out our lord's song
when our surroundings have become foreign
