Tulelake

While many Japanese-Americans proved their loyalty to the U.S
 By volunteering into the 442nd regimental combat team to fight for their country
 Some Japanese-Americans challenged the draft
 Due to their attornment and loss of constitutional rights
 In February, 1943, branded as "enemy aliens",
 Japanese-Americans were forced into attornment camps
 And yet asked to swear their loyalty to the U.S
 By the loyalty questioner
 This caused great conflict within the Japanese-American community
 Those who answered "no" to the loyalty questions
 Were considered disloyal and sent to the segregated Tulelake attornment camp
 Oh, Tulelake, bad guy, uh
 It was just- right off the bat- it just named it as a bad guy-
 Regardless, it- even people that was never in the camp
 Oh, Tulelake, bad guys- bunch of bad buys
 You see, the draft was just... more so
 So I'd looked upon them at college
 "They're not cowards"
 It took a lot of strength, a lot of courage to do what they did
 To go through prison sentence-
 And that's not easy
 Physical courage is easy
 Is more the spiritual courage that's difficult
 We did what we thought was right, with courage
 They did what they thought was right, with courage
 And that's the American way
