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.
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 alien

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"

I don't trust anybody, least not around here, cos

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.
Keep your suspicions, I've seen that look before.
But I ain't done nothing wrong now, is that such a suprise.
But I've got a sister who'd be willing to oblige.
She will do anything now to help me get to the outside.

So don't tell anybody what I wanna do.
If they find out you know that they'll never let me through, 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 (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
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.
