We are the children of the migrant worker
We are the offspring of the concentration camp
Sons and daughters of the railroad builder
Who leave their stamp on America

We are the children of the Chinese waiter
Born and raised in the laundry room
We are the offspring of the Japanese gardener
Who leave their stamp on America

Sing a song for ourselves
What have we got to lose
Sing a song for ourselves
We've got the right to choose
We've got the right to choose

Foster children of the Pepsi generation
Cowboys and Indians ride red men ride!
Watching war movies with the next-door neighbor
Secretly rooting for the other side

Sing a song for ourselves
What have we got to lose
Sing a song for ourselves
We've got the right to choose
We've got the right to choose

We are the cousins of the freedom fighter
Brothers and sisters all around the world
We are a part of the Third World People
Who will leave their stamp on America
Who will leave their stamp on America
Who will leave their stamp on America, America

Sing a song sing it, sing a song sing it
We've got a song to sing
