Cut Into the Earth Propagandhi

Is this life, to stand here and wait?
In this city forged of scraps, is this life?
To stand on the dead, on feces and sweat
Is this life?

It's all starting again
Quick, gather your belongings and go
Run while it's still dark
Out here, you're as good as dead

Leave the shots echoing behind
Don't look back until you run out of land
When you think there's a second that you can't be seen
The current can decide how this night will end

Don't try to imagine what's ahead
Let nothing cripple your will
You will cross enormous distance only to arrive
With nothing, you will give all you have

And if you navigate your way with endurance and success
If you pass the obstacles and still have your life
If you've escaped death, if your guts haven't withered away
If you haven't broken under the strain

They won't be welcoming
They forget a time when their land was swelling
A monstrous movement across the sea
When she relieved her bowels all over the world
