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

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