about

This song centers on the changed demographics of restaurant kitchens in Philadelphia. Almost every kitchen now has Mexican and Central Americans working, but there labor is significantly less likely to be part of the "front of the house" staff. Kicio is an undocumented chef.

lyrics

Here in Philadelphia,
the city that bombed itself.
In almost every kitchen there are Mexicans working.
Making food. Cleaning dishes.
Serving public hunger
and public filling.
We are what we eat.

(Kicio verse)

America, dirty, dirty. In its greedy, greedy.
America, dirty, dirty. In its greedy, greedy.

(Kicio verse)

America, dirty, dirty. In its greedy, greedy.

Tengo hambre para luchar
y para dignidad
por la gente.
Tengo hambre para estar
libre
y fuerte.
