ICE in the night - ICE in the night Didn't know he had to hide and he was taken Taken by surprise By the ICE in the night Manuel could never do another man harm I know him well from working on the family farm Most of his life and all of my life But don't bother telling the I.C.E. "Tiene Tarjeta" But a green card don't mean a thing Next to brown skin and a Spanish accent ICE in the night - ICE in the night Came a-knocking with a warrant But the warrant wasn't signed What a violation of our rights Thanks to the ICE in the night Stepping off the plane in a camp down in Texas Airfare provided by American taxes That I hate to pay and he pays everyday But don't worry Manny, we'll soon have you back at home We've already got the family lawyers on the phone But it's hard to tell your daughter she's got to go to school When her house has been invaded And her father's been kidnapped Kidnapped by ICE in the night - ICE in the night Didn't know he had to hide and he was taken Taken by surprise By the ICE in the night Legally a resident, lawfully employed How many other innocent lives have been destroyed? Destroyed by ICE in the night - ICE in the night Chains from his hands to his feet made it hard to run And hard to fight The ICE in the night
