Forgive the rough translation for the modern era. My how things have changed.
The trains keep a rollin and the borders are open,
The jobs are all planned, our economy a dump;
They're flying 'em from that Mexican border
To spend all our money and flood all our schools
Goodbye to my Rights, goodbye, 401k,
Adios mis amigos, Reason y Liberty;
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "citizen"
All of us are illegal, and most are not worthy,
Our work contract's out but we don't have to move on;
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border,
They welcome us like princes, like nobles, like kings.
Goodbye to my Rights, goodbye, 401k,
Adios mis amigos, Reason y Liberty;
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "citizen"
The sky plane caught fire over the Detroit suburbs,
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,
Who are all these thugs, terrorists and dick-fiends?
The radio says, "They are model citizens"
Goodbye to my Rights, goodbye, 401k,
Adios mis amigos, Reason y Liberty;
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "citizen"
My father's own father, he waded that river,
They took all the money he made in his life;
My brothers and sisters now have to do nothing,
We ride in the truck and don't bother lie.
We live in your hotels, we eat on your dollar,
We learn in your schools and fly on your planes.
We sneak 'neath your trees and we sneak in your bushes,
Both sides of the river, we lie just the same.
This is the best way we can grow our big budgets!
This is the best way we can grow our government!
To fly cross the nation like seeds and pollen
And be called by no name cept "citizenry"?
