( Illegal immigration song lyrics )
THE UNITED STATES OF MEXICO
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

1: It wasn't always like this. We used to have a nice house
somewhere out in a town called Sherman Oaks.
& we weren't always so pissed.We were ready with a handout
to help the many less than fortunate folks.

PreCHORUS:
But times have a way of changing.
& I guess survival matters,
'cause ours came into question in these changing times.

CHORUS:
The United States of Mexico, the place where we used to live.
The country with trouble in saying "No",
the land that would give, give & give.
The United States of Mexico, the place we used to call home.
The country we loved 'til we had to go,
the land where we started to roam.

2: It wasn't always so bad. We used to love our neighbors,
all kinds and races: we're all diff'rent ones.
But then they started to add as they trampled all our borders,
multiplying 'til the nation's over-run.
PreCHORUS:
CHORUS:

3: It wasn't always this way. We used to take vacations
and travel to far places just for fun.
And 'though we travel today, it's a diff'rent situation.
There's no home to return to when we're all done.

BRIDGE:
If the truth be told, we're all immigrants,
transplants and transients
on this spaceship planet Earth.
If the truth be told, we're all different,
yet in ways we're all the same.

4: It wasn't always so rough. Now, we don't have our papers,
no documents to say that we belong.
& now some times it gets tough. They all treat us like invaders.
They spit on us like we've done some-thing wrong.
PreCHORUS:
CHORUS:

( Illegal immigration continues basically unfettered until ...
The issue is not a matter of immigration, but of illegal immigration.)
