Haley Heynderickx & Max García Conover • Song For Alicia • 2025

My grandpa was a communist, they might've said a terrorist

And when someone looks at what I've done

I know songs won't seem like enough

Songs are for sure not nearly enough

So it's ride, Alicia, ride

Move, Alicia, move

I would be Boricua even if I was born on the moon

The two groups convicted of American sedition

Are the Proud Boys and the Puerto Ricans

We share a Wikipedia page

So what else can you say?

It's ticker tape accumulation, neoliberal sublimation

New precariat convinced that immigrants are corporations

Hold the phone, just be patient while we burn your poets' pages

While the doctor takes the medicine and tries to fuck the patients

Oh my God, they put her in a courtroom in Chicago

They bound her hands behind her back, put tape across her mouth

And when she screamed, the tape released, and she said what the world says

"You cannot own a country, you do not own a country"

And so two guards took her legs and held her to the floor

While another punched her in the face and gagged her like before

And she got fifty years and more

And they never said what for
