Gather 'round good people, as I tell the tale Of the immigrants and refugees carted off to jail Gestapo Barbie posed before the cages on Fox News Detainees assumed guilty for their skin and their tattoos From the cells of Louisiana to El Salvador Gilded techno robber barons screw the working poor I hate to have to say this I hate to say these words But you angry fools in Magastan get the future you deserve For your ignorance, pride, and cruelty, I've lost my empathy Until the fever breaks, you'll break no bread with me Until you drop your delusions and come fight by my side I'm pulling up the drawbridge across the great divide Together we can save your farms, your hospitals, your schools I'll help you leave the cult of klepto-fascist rule Sometimes it takes an apocalypse to shake the world awake Democracy dies by degrees until the fever breaks Until the fever breaks Until the fever breaks How long will it take until the fever breaks?
