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

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

People are not expendable, government is
