Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The 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 help
At his apartment I knocked 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
No it's no fun being an illegal alienDown 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 ain't written in ink'.
I don't trust anybody, least not around hereCos it's no fun being an illegal alien
I tell ya it's no fun being an illegal alien
no no no no no it's no fun being an illegal alien
(I mean it when I tell ya that) It's no fun being an illegal alien,
An illegal alien, O.K.
...
Consideration for your fellow man
Would not hurt anybody, it sure fits in with my plan
Over the border, there lies the promised land
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand
...
So don't tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they'll never let me through.Because it is no fun being an illegal alien
I tell ya it's no fun being an illegal alien, and it's getting me down
It's no fun being an illegal alien
no no no no no it's no fun being an illegal alien, yeah yeah yeah
It's no fun (not much fun) being an illegal alien (I tell ya that)
It's no fun being an illegal alien
I tell ya it's no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no
It's no fun (not much fun) being an illegal alien, no no no
It's no fun (not bloody much fun) being an illegal alien,
It's no fun being an illegal alien, and that's what I am.
