Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source

The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants

Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given
D# F Gb F F Cb F Cb
To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden
D# F Gb F D# D# F Gb
By a government who's often reponsible for their countries situation
D# F Gb F F Cb F Cb
But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration
[Chorus]

Restrict immigrants from crossing a line

No human is illegal like governments claim

Exploiting foreign markets with capitalisms principles

Big business cuts their expenses with their sweatshop wage

Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage

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