The Lyrics

the way the law is written right now Osama, bin Asshole could come here to Canada and claim refugee status AND BLOODY WELL GET IT. sorry Yankee Bros.. being a Brit, I'll kill him myself
if you're comin, we don't know it, please don't talk about it
yeah immigration aint no secret, if there's some law
we'll just get around it
first thing is call legal aid, baby
you'll get approved, you're lawyer's free and then just maybe
you won't have to claim you're a refugee


somewhere somehow, somebody musta kicked you around some
claim they'll hurt you if they send you back son
it don't make no difference to them
tell them you're a blind crippled lesbian
and you won't have to claim you're a refugee
won't have to claim you're a refugee

baby you aint the first
you like every other's approved
this might seem unreal to you
it's one of those things
you do to get you approved

somewhere, somehow, tell them somebody kicked you around some
then they will ask you why did you stay so long son
and then they'll send you out free
a welfare check, and dental plan's free
and you won't have to claim you're a refugee
won't have to claim you're a refugee
