Story behind the song
"SISbourg" describes a border camp in Strasbourg, France, home to the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as to a Europe-wide database called the SIS, which collects personal information on migrants, activists, and other "ne'er do wells." See the Noborder Network for more information.
Lyrics
SISbourg No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!

Le 24 juillet, 2,000 militants ont dit, "Non,
non à la brutalité de ce système à la con."
Ils se sont déguisés en soldats. Ils se sont vêtus en songes
Pour dire la vérité parmi les mensonges.

Le 24 juillet, sont venus les responsables.
Pour montrer aux médias que la jeunesse est coupable.
Et Strasbourg était la fête, et Strasbourg était la crise
pour montrer à l'Union Européenne que la vie n'est pas une marchandise.

Les journaux disent que c'est fini, mais on ne fait que commencer.
On reste solidaire jusqu'au dernier procès.
Les 17 qui ont occupé la Ministère de la Justice
ceux qui ont été tabassés par la police,

ils luttent pour la vie. Ceci n'est pas une lutte armée.
C'est une lutte au Tribunal pour les droits et la liberté.
Dans cette guerre marchande, on vend le sang pour le pétrôle
Dans cette guerre pour le controle, qui sont les guignols?

Debout avec les prisonniers. Debout avec les sans-papiers.
À tout le monde qui veut changer le monde, debout.
Debout avec nous contre un système devenu fou.
Des papiers pour tous, ou plus de papiers de tout.

Les bons citoyens veulent qu'on rentre chez nous,
Mais nous, on dit aux flics, "Rentrez chez vous!"
Tout le monde veut qu'on lui foute la paix.
Tout le monde veut qu'on le laisse crever.

Mais si tu t'enfermes dans ton petit chez toi,
Dans tes petits ennuis. Dans ta perte de foi.
Ton monde paisible va se rétrécir.
Devenir un prison d'ou personne ne peut sortir.

Et tu ne pourras jamais t'enfuir.

No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!

No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop...
...Deportation...

(Translation:)
City of Digital Borders

No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!
No Border! No Nation! Stop Deportation!

On July 24, 2,000 activists said "No!
Repression, death, brutality, this system has to go!"
They wore the costumes of soldiers, dressed up in dreams
to show us that the truth isn't always what it seems.

On July 24th, the authorities came
to show the media that the youth are to blame.
And Strasbourg was a party and Strasbourg was a jail
to show the European Union that life is not for sale.

The papers say it's over, but the struggle's just begun.
We've got to stick together 'till every trial's won.
The 17 who occupied the Ministry of Justice
who were beaten by police

are fighting for our freedom. They are fighting for our lives.
They're fighting in the courts, using law, not guns or knives.
In this businessman's war, blood is sold for oil
and in the war of "daily security," who is in control?

Stand up with the prisoners. Stand up with illegal workers.
All who want a different world from the one that we have had,
stand up with us against a system gone mad.
No human being should be made illegal.

The "good citizens" want us to stay at home.
We tell the cops, "Why don't you go home!"
Everyone wants to be left alone.
Everyone wants to die alone.

But if you lock yourself up in your little home
In your little worries, in your loss of faith,
Your peaceful world will shrink away
and become a prison, from which there is
