about

As a human, an American, and a father of a young child, I am horrified and deeply saddened by the irreparable damage that Trump's border policies -- and the agents enacting them -- have inflicted on families in search of a better life. This song is an expression of that horror and that sadness. ~ Ryan Trager

lyrics

Steal them from the border
Peel them from their mothers' arms
Feed them to the fire
And watch them burn

With eyelids open wide

Beat them if they clamor
Teach them not to holler out
Feed them to the fire
And kiss our wives

With eyelids open wide

Swarms they came
With names unknown
In their cages
They’re calling out for someone
And when they go home
They’ll tell their mothers
That they were broken
By the cowards
With eyelids open wide
