Guantanamo Canto

Xiu Xiu


confess, tied to a stretcher
no longer animal
red white and blue, choking on peace

your suicide, his politics
nay misery
my country needs this freedom
to contradict your humanness

meow meow meow meow
la la
now we are safe
now we are safe
you'll never know how you've made us safe
and your son grows to kill us all
we say thank you complicity
your daughter grows to kill us all
and we say thanks to ease our shame
