MariKKKopa Lyrics

There is a lynching at Home Depot of the last day laborer
In this sanctuary city with its anchor-baby births
They say, "It's time we had some justice for the white race on this earth
This place is strange and getting stranger"

"We got to round them 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 going to 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 because 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 them up!
Door to door, the posse is ready"
Knock, knock, knock
"Drag them from their beds
Because it's their turn for someone to get hurt"
"We're going to round them up!
Crying in the day-care center"
Knock, knock, knock
"Beat it in their heads
They'll never learn until Maricopa burns!"

My Interpretation
Cover art for MariKKKopa lyrics by Desaparecidos

an obvious slam against Sheriff Joe (Maricopa County Sheriff), SB 1070, and treatment of Hispanics in Arizona. the audio clip at the end of him talking is where the title comes from.
