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

No human is illegal like governments claim

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