They say I can’t live here
cuz I come from mexico
I gotta go back to the sweatshops
cuz I come from mexico
they’d watch my 12 children starvin’
'fore they lemme rack up some dough
Livin’ is illegal
livin’ is illegal
breathing is a crime
in the land of the free
being here’s a crime
in the land of plenty
we’d best start a revolution
if we’s gonna be free
