[Verse 1]
F G Ab G F F G Ab
Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source
F G Ab G G Db G Db
So the INS are given unending power to enforce
F G Ab G F F G Ab
The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants
F G Ab G G Db G Db
Who project open border policies as national resentments
F G Ab G F F G Ab
Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given
F G Ab G G Db G Db
To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden
F G Ab G F F G Ab
By a government who's often reponsible for their countries situation
F G Ab G G Db G Db
But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration
[Chorus]
C A# C Eb C Eb F Eb
Restrict immigrants from crossing a line
C A# C Eb C Eb F Eb
They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds
C A# C Eb C Eb F Eb
Regardless of citizenship we're all the same
C A# C Eb C Eb F Eb
No human is illegal like governments claim
[Verse 2]
F G Ab G F F G Ab
Exploiting foreign markets with capitalisms principles
F G Ab G G Db G Db
NAFTA was created to benefit the multinationals
F G Ab G F F G Ab
Big business cuts their expenses with their sweatshop wage
F G Ab G G Db G Db
Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage
F G Ab G F F G Ab
They've created the incentive to ship the jobs out of this country
F G Ab G G Db G Db
Making Americans more receptive to minimum wage and bigotry
F G Ab G F F G Ab
The government maintains approval when their fault remains concealed
F G Ab G G Db G Db
They'll just find another scapegoat after they pass the anti-immigration bill
[Chorus]
C A# C Eb C Eb F Eb
Restrict immigrants from crossing a line
C A# C Eb C Eb F Eb
They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds

F
Creating xenophobia is another tactic in which our leaders have managed
F
To redirect blame to someone other than themselves or big business
F
The media lap up the reports of increasing poverty, unemployment, welfare and Government aid
F G Ab G F G Ab
Supposedly caused by refugees
F G Ab G F G Ab
While largely ignoring the countless reports of rapes, beating and
F G Ab G F G Ab
Harassment by the INS and US border patrols
F G Ab G F G Ab
Not to mention American servicemen actually crossing the Mexican border to rape women
F G Ab G F G Ab
Or New York police Officers gang raping a Haitian immigrant with a plunger
F G Ab G F G Ab
These atrocities occur because xenophobia has instilled the thinking
F G Ab G F G Ab
That refugees are problems and not people
F
Xenophobia kills
[Verse 3]
F G Ab G F F G Ab
Patriotism plants the seeds of ignorance and hate
F G Ab G G Db G Db
Destroying the people and all compassion to protect the state
F G Ab G F F G Ab
Every person is entitled to live, no human should be banned
F G Ab G G Db G Db
It only benefits the wealthy to own a piece of land
F G Ab G F F G Ab
It only divides the people by the borders, by the countries
F G Ab G G Db G Db
It's only another obstacle blocking any chance of equality
F G Ab G F F G Ab
We've got to smash their walls our efforts must persist
F G Ab G G Db G Db
We've got to wake the people up to see what they've dismissed
