Illegal Alien

Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too goodWith my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoesThe sun is shining so I head for the park,With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettesI got a cousin and she got a friend,Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could helpAt his apartment I knocked on the door,He wouldn't come out until he got paid.Now don't tell anybody what I wanna doIf they find out you know that they'll never let me through, cosIt's no fun being an illegal alien, noIt's no fun being an illegal alienDown at the office had to fill out the formsA pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,Up to the counter to see what they thinkThey said "it doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink"I don't trust anybody, least not around here, cosIt's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell yaIt's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no noIt's no fun being an illegal alien, I mean it when I tell ya thatIt's no fun being an illegal alien,An illegal alien, O.K.Consideration for your fellow manWould not hurt anybody, it sure fits in with my planOver the border, there lies the promised landWhere everything comes easy, you just hold out your handKeep your suspicions, I've seen that look beforeBut I ain't done nothing wrong now, is that such a supriseBut I've got a sister who'd be willing to obligeShe will do anything now to help me get to the outsideSo don't tell anybody what I wanna doIf they find out you know that they'll never let me through, becauseIt's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell yaIt's no fun being an illegal alien, and it's getting me downIt's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no noIt's no fun being an illegal alien, yeah yeah yeahIt's no fun (not much fun) being an illegal alien, I tell ya thatIt's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell yaIt's no fun being an illegal alien, no no noIt's no fun (not bloody much fun) being an illegal alien,
