[Verse 1]

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 cigarettes

I 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Now don't tell anybody what I wanna do

If they find out, you know that they'll never let me through

[Chorus]

'Cause it's no fun being an illegal alien

No, it's no fun being an illegal alien

[Verse 2]

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 ain't written in ink"

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't trust anybody, least not around here

[Chorus]

'Cause 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, okay

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Keep your suspicions, I've seen that look before

But I ain't done nothing wrong now, is that such a surprise?

But I've got a sister who'd be willing to oblige

She will do anything now to help me get to the outside

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

So don't tell anybody what I wanna do

If they find out, you know that they'll never let me through

[Chorus]

Because it's 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 (It's not much fun) being an illegal alien, I tell ya brother

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 (It's not much fun) being an illegal alien, no, no, no

It's no fun (It's not bloody much fun) being an illegal alien (Illegal alien, no)

It's no fun being an illegal alien, and that's what I am
