Lyric
Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun was shining so I head for the park
With a bottle of tequila and a new pack of cigarrettes
I got a cousin, and sge got a friend
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment, I knock on the door
He wouldn't come out until he got paid
Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out, you know that they'll never let me through
Cos it's no fun being an illegal alien (X2 or however many you feel like)
Down at the office had to fill out the forms
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose
Up to the counter to see what they think, they said,
"It doesn't count, man, it aint written in ink"
I don't trust anybody, least not around here
(Chorus)
Lead in to bridge (the keyboard solo)
An illegal alien, OK
background chords) whole phrase x2
(no 3rd) 2 bars (no 3)/ 2 bars (no 3)/ 1 bar
(no 3)/ (no 3)/ half bar each
Consideration for your fellow man
Would not hurt anybody, sure fits in with my plan
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand
there's a bit where the chords are Bm | Em |D |A | x2
then back to pre-chorus and chorus. Lyrics I left out can be found
at uwp among other places.
Enjoy!
