[Verse 1]
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
So the INS are given unending power to enforce
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
Who project open border policies as national resentments
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
By a government who's often reponsible for their countries situation
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration

Exploiting foreign markets with capitalisms principles

NAFTA was created to benefit the multinationals
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
Big business cuts their expenses with their sweatshop wage
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
They've created the incentive to ship the jobs out of this country
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
Making Americans more receptive to minimum wage and bigotry
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
The government maintains approval when their fault remains concealed

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# A G# F# G# A
Supposedly caused by refugees
F# G# A G# F# G# A
While largely ignoring the countless reports of rapes, beating and
F# G# A G# F# G# A
Harassment by the INS and US border patrols
F# G# A G# F# G# A
Not to mention American servicemen actually crossing the Mexican border to rape women
F# G# A G# F# G# A
Or New York police Officers gang raping a Haitian immigrant with a plunger
F# G# A G# F# G# A
These atrocities occur because xenophobia has instilled the thinking
F# G# A G# F# G# A
That refugees are problems and not people
F#
Xenophobia kills
[Verse 3]
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
Patriotism plants the seeds of ignorance and hate
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
Destroying the people and all compassion to protect the state
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
Every person is entitled to live, no human should be banned
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
It only benefits the wealthy to own a piece of land
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
It only divides the people by the borders, by the countries
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
It's only another obstacle blocking any chance of equality
F# G# A G# F# F# G# A
We've got to smash their walls our efforts must persist
F# G# A G# G# D G# D
We've got to wake the people up to see what they've dismissed
