GENESIS - Illegal Alien lyrics

rate me

Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good<br>With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes<br>The sun is shining so I head for the park,<br>With a bottle of tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes<br><br>I got a cousin and she got a friend,<br>Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help<br>At his apartment I knocked on the door,<br>He wouldn't come out until he got paid.<br>Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do<br>If they find out you know that they'll never let me through, cos<br><br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, no<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien<br><br>Down at the office had to fill out the forms<br>A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,<br>Up to the counter to see what they think<br>They said it doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink.<br>I don't trust anybody, least not around here, cos<br><br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no no<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, I mean it when I tell ya that<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien,<br>An illegal alien, o.k.<br><br>Consideration for your fellow man<br>Would not hurt anybody, it sure fits in with my plan<br>Over the border, there lies the promised land<br>Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand<br><br>Keep your suspicions, I've seen that look before<br>But I ain't done nothing wrong now, is that such a suprise<br>But I've got a sister who'd be willing to oblige<br>She will do anything now to help me get to the outside<br><br>So don't tell anybody what I wanna do<br>If they find out you know that they'll never let me through, because<br><br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, and it's getting me down<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no no<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, yeah yeah yeah<br><br>It's no fun (not much fun) being an illegal alien, I tell ya that<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no<br>It's no fun (not bloody much fun) being an illegal alien,<br>It's no fun being an illegal alien, and that's what I am.
