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

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