No Gringo Lyrics - Inland Territory - Vienna Teng

Father says head down 

We don't want them finding you 

Mother says practice now 

All the words you know 

Oh Arizona's burning 

They say the fence turned round 

Now the razor wire keeps us out 

Mother says with luck 

We'll sleep under a roof tonight 

Father says in the truck 

We'll be crushed in tight

Oh Chicago don't forget me 

As the miles between us grow 

Keep the maple tree carved with the name of my love 

The hills we would sled race down 

Lake Michigan stay endless and painted in sky 

Goodbye 

Mother says years ago 

The whole world was ours to rule 

Father says let it go 

Those days are gone for good 

All the signs read no gringo 

But somehow we'll find our way 

Maybe waiting at dawn by the factory doors 

Sunburnt and bent in the fields 

Please don't turn us in 

We'll be silent as the grave 

As time

No gringo 

No Gringo aqu­i 

Words as levies against the flood 

Hoy cerrado 

There's too many to feed 

Room for only our own kind, our own blood 

No gringo, no gringo aqu­i 

You have stayed in this land for too long 

Tan amargo 

But there's no time to grieve 

You just pack up your things and move on
