In the name of
Law and order
Their time here
Is growing shorter
Since he’s become
The nation’s chief exporter
They’re being sent back
Over the border

Even though
It doesn’t calm us
He’s keeping
A campaign promise
So why are we
Acting so astonished
At least
We’ve gotta say he’s honest

When they’re gone
What are we gonna do
About the kind of labor
That we refuse to
Who will pick the produce
That we eat?
Or mix the concrete
For the sidewalk or street

He’s telling ‘em
Open your bags and pack
So be prepared
Cos I’m sending you back
To the country that
You came from
Even though
That’s not true of some
