lirik lagu rice kristi - poston, arizona
wwii
j-panese internment
it’s all new to you
children locked up, shingles and a shack
they were only allowed one suitcase including the clothes on their back
caged in and gunpoint
they almost shot my young teenage grandma down
for she had to leave her land to squatters and will never see her town
poston arizona
the kida’s at camp 3
the asian were the hostage
and white people held the key
her sunday school teacher tried to visit one hot day
but the guards and the guns kept grandma schoolgirl away
they weren’t allowed education
they weren’t allowed books
at nighttime they snuck hardcopies and read away like crooks
recruited by the army, satoshi saved the day
that was the only way to make money for sock and babe
when the war was over white people said you’re free
but you can’t have this land for your land is occupied by me
grandpa was a g*nius
they wanted him to cure rabies
but since he was a j-p they docked his pay by 3
they would not sell him property
so just like his wife’s college, they had to pet-tion for spring valley
this is not a conspiracy theory
it’s u.s. history untold
my grandma always held her tongue but right now i’m feeling bold
grandma babe said internment happened to native americans too
“it happened to me and it can happen to you”
