There is a lynching at Home Depot of the last day laborer
In this sanctuary city with its anchor-baby births
They say “Its time we had some justice for the white race on this earth
This place is strange and getting stranger”
“We got to round ‘em up!
Door to door tonight we’re ready”
Knock Knock Knock
“Drag them from their beds
They got some nerve to say they were here first”
“We’re gonna round them up!
Hiding in the semi-trailers”
Knock Knock Knock
“Beat it in their heads
We keep our word and Maricopa pure”
They’re sweating in Sun City cause they just got off the course
Saying “Sheriff Joe it’s awful and it’s only getting worse”
“Oh did you hear about Rob Krentz? They left him bleeding in the dirt
These Spics are brave and getting braver”
“We got to round ‘em up!
Door to door the posse is ready”
Knock Knock Knock
“Drag them from their beds
Cause it’s their turn for someone to get hurt”
“We’re gonna round ‘em up!
Crying in the day-care center”
Knock Knock Knock
“Beat it in their heads
They’ll never learn until Maricopa burns!”

Scritta da Conor Oberst, frontman degli Bright Eyes, qui in uno dei suoi progetti musicali paralleli.
Una torretta di avvistamento ed un drone sulla copertina di questo brano dedicato a Joe Arpaio, lo sceriffo di Maricopa County, Arizona, noto per le sue posizioni estremiste riguardo all’immigrazione illegale e per le molte inchieste a suo carico per omissione d’atti d’ufficio, abuso di potere, appropriazione indebita di fondi pubblici, per le condizioni allucinanti di detenzione nelle prigioni della contea, per l’arresto illegale di un ragazzo di 18 anni, James Saville, accusato di aver progettato di uccidere con una bomba lo stesso Arpaio nel 1999: il giovane si fece quattro anni di carcere prima che venisse provato in giudizio che erano stati alcuni collaboratori dello sceriffo a confezionare l’ordigno e a far cadere nella trappola il malcapitato. Nel 2008 Saville ha ricevuto un risarcimento di 1.6 milioni di dollari.
Il terribile Joe Arpaio è anche recentemente balzato alla ribalta delle cronache per aver indagato sul certificato di nascita del presidente Obama, a suo dire falso. E’ stato ufficialmente smentito dall’attorney general della Hawaii, dove il presidente è nato (Honolulu, 4 agosto 1961)
