about

This track is a reworking of a song named "Kanto! Johto!" by our comrades in Pokémon Liberation Army. Although there is not currently a recorded version of the original track, there is a bunch of their music available for pay-as-you-feel on bandcamp :)

lyrics

The world that we live in for so many unforgiving
And not just for the ones who're physically in cages
Segregation separates the nation
That's how it is and how it's been for ages
It's even worse on a global scale
Government agendas telling people how to feel
If we blame those that've crossed the borders
Then we're never gonna fight against law and order

STATES AND NATIONS and the borders in between
Created by the people who sit pretty at the top
Freedom of movement is what we really need
To gain the strength as one to fight the common enemy
NATION STATES AND every border in-between
Created by the people who sit pretty at the top
Freedom of movement is what we really need
To gain the strength as one to fight the common enemy

Those in power don't represent me
And I despise all the lines they draw
Sovereign states seem so archaic
SMASH THE BORDERS we don't need them any more

STATES AND NATIONS and the borders in between
Created by the people who sit pretty at the top
Freedom of movement is what we really need
To gain the strength as one to fight the common enemy
NATION STATES AND every border in-between
Created by the people who sit pretty at the top
Freedom of movement is what we really need
To gain the strength as one to fight the common enemy

The world that we live in for so many unforgiving
And not just for the ones who're physically in cages
Segregation separates the nation
That's how it is and how it's been for ages
It's even worse on a global scale
Government agendas telling people how to feel
If we blame those that've crossed the borders
Then we're never gonna fight against law and order

States and nations and the borders in between
Created by the people who sit pretty at the top
Freedom of movement is what we really need
To gain the strength as one to fight the common enemy
NATION STATES AND every border in-between
Created by the people who sit pretty at the top
Freedom of movement is what we really need
To gain the strength as one to fight the common enemy

Those most privileged can cross the borders
They're only barriers for the poorer
Those most privileged can cross the borders
They're only barriers for the poorer
Those most privileged can cross the borders
They're only barriers for the poorer
