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

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

People are not expendable, government is
N.C.
People are not expendable, government is
