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

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