David Crosby - Immigration Man lyrics

rate me

by Graham Nash

There I was at the immigration scene

Shining and feeling clean

Could it be a sin?

I got stopped by the immigration man

He says he doesn't know if he can

Let me in-let me in-immigration man

Can I cross the line and pray

I can stay another day

Let me in immigration man

I won't toe your line today

I can't see it anyway

There he was with his immigration face

Giving me a paper chase

But the sun was coming

Cos all at once he looked into my space

And stamped a number over my face

And he sent me running

Let me in-let me in-immigration man

Can I cross the line and pray

I can stay another day

Let me in immigration man

I won't toe your line today

I can't see it anyway

Here I am with my immigration form

It's big enough to keep me warm

When a cold wind's coming

So go where you will

So long as you think you can

You'd better watch out-watch out-for the man

Anywhere you're going.

Won't you let me in immigration man

Can I cross your line and pray

Take your fingers from the tray

Let me in-irritation man

I won't toe your line today

I can't see it anyway.
