Lyrics This is Puerto Rico - Red Moon Music

Visit Puerto Rico
America's favorite colony
I mean territory
The Caribbean island
Famous for its tropical beaches
Historic icons
Breathtaking scenery but mostly for (despacito)
Fortunately, however, few know about the real Puerto Rico
A territory of the United States since 1898
When we seized it from the Spanish
Who in turn stole it from the Taino
Which makes Puerto Ricans U. S. citizens
Well, second-class citizens
Because despite fighting in every one of our wars
They still can't vote for president
And have no representation in Congress
In other words
U. S. citizens who have fuck-all say
In the laws the U. S. government
Makes for them
And to bring you
The ultimate colonial experience, we've made
A few over the years
Like the gag law, which
Banned their flag
And brutally suppressed
Independence movements
Bombing the crap out of Vieques for 60 years
Conducting birth control
Experiments on Puerto Rican women and of course
The Jones Act, which enforced a U. S. corporate monopoly
That crippled local industry and
Along with other crap
Created shit-tons of debt
Debt which Wall Street
Vulture fund bought up
Like blood-sucking chupacabras
And when Puerto Ricans
Could no longer pay back that debt
We made a new law, No, not to ease poverty and unemployment
But to impose austerity measures
Cutting pensions and the minimum wage
Cutting university funding
Closing down schools and hospitals
Today, many Puerto Ricans
Are fleeing the island from
This unholy shit-show we created
Which of course gives rich gringos
The chance to move in and buy up tropical beaches at a discount
Don't miss our special
Neo-colonial tax holiday package
And you too can be
A pirate of the Caribbean
Sipping piña colada with chupacabras
While Puerto Ricans
Get kicked out of their homes
Visit Puerto Rico, the island you never even knew
We were colonizing the shit out of
Authorized by the Department for the War
And Territories Also responsible for bullshit
In American Samoa
U. S. Virgin Islands
North America, and Guam
